ISO9001:
ISO9001 is an international standard for a product quality system that prescribes demands to the manufactures on a standpoint of customers.
IATF16949:
IATF16949 is an international standard of Quality management system for Automotive industry.
Products Credibility Activities
We would set test item and sample depend on not only intended use or usage environment for devices also novelty and priority of products, then we would test reliability evaluation. We would curry out a environment test and mechanical test according to product type. The product specificity is considered in order to adapt various product type and the test condition is set accordingly.
Qualification Test items (example)
| TEST ITEM | TEST CONDITON | TEST DURATION | STANDARD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature cycling (TC) |
-65°C to 150°C | 200CYC. |

ESD Test Procedure
With ICs miniaturization, obvious damages by ESD-Electrostatic-Discharge- are recognized. Epson would carry out ESD test in official standard and approve a product.
