Quality Assurance

Our Standards and Certifications

Quality continues to be a core value at Magus Electronics, where we are proud to offer comprehensive training for our team, to ensure all assemblers are certified to Electronics industry recognised standards.  Our quality standards are reviewed and audited at regular intervals to ensure we are continuously improving our service and striving for excellence.

IPC-A-610

Is an industry recognised standard for the acceptability of electronics assemblies. The standard is used to demonstrate industry accepted workmanship and presents acceptance requirements for the manufacture of electrical and electronic assemblies, based on 3 classes of acceptance, which are categorised as follows:

Class 1 — General Electronic Products includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.

Class 2 — Dedicated Service Electronic Products includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically the end-use environment would not cause failures.

Class 3 — High Performance Electronic Products includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.

We are proud to have our own certified trainer leading our manufacturing team, all of whom are fully certified specialists to IPC-A-610 standards.

Magus Quality Assurance 

Our certified Electronics Assemblers work within all 3 classes, with the aim towards quality to class 3.  Our team understand the importance of electronics reliability and continuously strive for high quality workmanship.
