Quality
The circuit board itself is a very simple-looking product. But few people really know how many different work stages there are in its production. A standard 2-layer board contains dozens of different work steps.
It is usually the case that, the more different work stages there are, the greater the risk for something is to go wrong. Good quality production requires good knowledge of manufacturing equipment and process chemistry. High and long-term stable quality is a prerequisite for success in the circuit board industry. This is guaranteed by the genuine commitment of our personnel and the continuous development of our operations. We have also been able make investments in our production technology.
We also take care of our environment.
The most important environmental effects of our production are known and continuously monitored. In connection with these, we are constantly developing methods of operation in which we aim to further reduce the environmental load.
SFS-EN ISO 9001
-certified quality system
The quality system covers all activities in our company. Our quality system consists of the documented instructions that guide our operations and their application, as well as the company's organizational structure, processes and resources.
Our quality system is based on taking quality into account in all stages of the production chain. Our principle is that the previous stage of the production chain experiences the next stage as its customer. Our goal for manufacturing quality, service quality and operational quality is to be the best in our market area.
In manufacturing, we emphasize measures to prevent errors, feedback and analysis of information received about errors, and corrective measures.
The starting point of our material activities is solid cooperation with selected suppliers, and we develop this activity in the long term. When choosing materials, we are committed to using certain tested raw materials.
Our quality system is built to meet the requirements of the ISO-9001 standard in the parts applicable to our operations, and there is an internal control system to monitor its operation. Internal control monitors the functionality of the quality system and the consistency of instructions and operations. Monitoring provides information on the system's functionality and development needs. Monitoring takes place in accordance with pre-prepared programs.
With the help of quality files, we monitor the realization of the set goals. Goals are set annually for one calendar year at a time.
Our quality system is audited annually by an external body.
SFS-EN ISO 14001
-certified environmental system
The environmental impacts of our company are not significant. However, we still want to do our part in following the principles of sustainable development and feel responsible for environmental matters.
We are committed to continuous environmental improvement and strive to consider environmental impacts from the early stages when selecting new raw materials for production.
We continuously send materials for recycling and reuse.
We encourage employees to be mindful of their environmental responsibilities at all levels of the organization, thereby helping us achieve the goals and objectives outlined in our environmental program.
The goals in our environmental program include:
-
Reducing the amount and use of raw materials, energy, and waste.
-
Enhancing the recycling of generated waste.
-
Taking into account environmental comfort.
-
Considering the environmental impacts of new projects already in the planning phase.
Our environmental management system is designed to meet the requirements of the ISO-14001 standards as applicable to our operations, and an internal control system monitors its functioning.
Internal control monitors the system's effectiveness and the consistency of guidelines and operations. The monitoring provides information on the system's performance and development needs. The control is carried out according to a pre-established program. Our quality system is audited annually by an external entity.
UL approval
file nr: E207362, approved for +130º C
Printti has been granted the right to manufacture circuit boards in accordance with the UL standard.
The UL marking is a safety and quality approval especially intended for the North American market. UL approval is also a guarantee for the customer of uniform quality products. UL approval is granted by the North American testing and certification institution Underwriters Laboratories Inc. The product samples have been carefully tested in the laboratory and they meet UL safety and quality requirements.
UL approval always requires the use of approved raw materials and process parameters in production. These together form tested product sets. The approval is controlled by spot checks performed by UL in our production several times during the year and by product samples sent to the laboratory.
Printti has UL approval, the number is E207362 .
