PCB procurement
PCB procurement demands strict compliance with international laws and industry standards, including cybersecurity, data privacy and export control – especially important within the aerospace and defense sectors. It also requires suppliers with the scale, control, and systems to deliver consistent quality and transparency.
To meet the demands of high-reliability sectors and global customers, our procurement practices focus on:
- Supplier selection based on proven capability, capacity, and quality systems.
- Compliance with international standards such as IPC, ISO, RoHS, and REACH.
- Sustainability and environmental responsibility, including PFAS awareness.
- Risk mitigation and supply chain resilience across global markets.
- Logistics management from manufacturing through delivery.
- Traceability and documentation to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Export control compliance for PCBs and related technical data by adhering to applicable laws, obtaining necessary licenses, and screening suppliers and/or customers through rigorous due diligence measures.
For defense and aerospace customers, these principles are complemented by additional regulatory requirements to ensure compliance and security.
FAR and DFAR compliance for Aerospace & Defense
For customers in the defense and aerospace sectors, aiming to supply into the US market, compliance with U.S. government procurement regulations is essential.
- FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) governs all U.S. federal procurement activities.
- DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) adds defense-specific rules critical to national security.
