Quality Management
ISO 9001 & 14001 certified. AOI, complete traceability and database-driven tracking systems.


Quality at CME is not a downstream inspection step, but an integral part of every manufacturing process. Our quality management system is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Every assembly undergoes automated optical inspection (AOI). Our database-driven traceability with connected manufacturing equipment ensures maximum traceability – from incoming goods through every production step to shipping.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
- Certified quality management system for all manufacturing and development processes
- Regular internal audits and external surveillance audits by accredited bodies
- Continuous improvement process (CIP) as integral part of company culture
- Complete documentation of all quality-relevant processes and deviations
ISO 14001:2015 Certified
- Certified environmental management system for sustainable manufacturing processes
- Systematic recording and reduction of environmental impacts (energy, waste, emissions)
- Compliance with all relevant environmental regulations and legal requirements
- Environmental awareness as integral part of procurement, production and logistics
UL Listed – Wiring Harness
- UL listing for manufacturing of wiring harnesses and wiring systems
- Compliance with North American safety standards for electrical interconnect technology
- Regular UL audits and manufacturing surveillance by accredited inspectors
- Prerequisite for export to US and Canadian markets
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
- 100% AOI inspection of every assembled PCB after the soldering process
- Detection of placement errors, solder bridges, missing components and polarity faults
- 3D AOI for reliable inspection even with hidden solder joints and tight component tolerances
- Automatic defect documentation and feedback into the manufacturing process
In-Circuit Test (ICT)
- Electrical testing of assembled PCBs for shorts, opens and component values
- Bed-of-nails adapter depending on batch size and PCB layout
- Test coverage >95% through design-for-test compliant layout planning
- Test protocol and results for complete quality documentation
Database-Driven Traceability with Connected Equipment
- Complete traceability of every assembly from incoming goods to shipping
- All manufacturing equipment (SMD, soldering, AOI, ICT, EOL) connected in a central database
- Serial number, batch and component tracing for rapid response to field issues
- Exportable inspection and manufacturing reports for customers and regulatory authorities
Quality Inspection per IPC Standards
- Visual and metrological assessment of solder joints per IPC-A-610 (Class 2 & 3)
- PCB inspection per IPC-A-600 for laminates, surfaces and drilling
- Adaptation of acceptance criteria to customer-specific requirements and target classes
First Article Inspection & Series Release (FAIR)
- Structured first article process for new products before series release
- Creation of first article inspection report (FAIR) with dimensional, functional and material evidence
- Coordination of first article inspection between development, manufacturing and quality assurance
- Formal series release after customer acceptance – documented and revision-proof archived
