Requirements review
Define the application, operating conditions and functional interfaces before selecting a development route.
Agree or record
Product envelope, component information, installation environment and required performance.

Quality & validation
Define the requirement.
Agree the evidence.
A quality plan starts with a clear specification. We establish what needs to be checked, when it needs to be checked and who approves the result.
A project-specific approach
Approval criteria belong in the development brief.
Every housing has different priorities. A connector fit may be critical in one product; sealing, appearance or installer access may lead in another. The review and inspection scope should reflect those priorities.
These checkpoints describe our approach to planning a project. The exact inspections, records, tests and deliverables are agreed in the project scope.

Development checkpoints
Four stages of review.
Design & material review
Review the enclosure geometry, assembly and material specification together.
Agree or record
CAD revision, critical fits, material grade, colour, finish and proposed validation needs.
Prototype & sample review
Use physical samples to check the questions appropriate to the development stage.
Agree or record
Fit and assembly observations, dimensional checks and an agreed list of changes.
Production approval
Establish the production reference and inspection requirements before repeat supply.
Agree or record
Approved sample, drawing revision, acceptance criteria, packing and dispatch requirements.
Material selection and product validation.
A resin grade, a moulded part and a complete assembled product have different validation requirements. A material datasheet alone does not establish the performance of the finished enclosure.
- Identify the intended operating conditions and target market.
- Review the relevant material properties and grade documentation.
- Define sample configuration, assembly and test requirements.
- Agree responsibility for laboratory testing and final product approval.
Ratings and certification
Ingress protection, impact resistance, flame performance and other product claims depend on the specific design, material, assembly and applicable testing.
Any required standards, independent testing or certificates must be identified and confirmed for the individual project. This page does not certify a product or claim an accredited in-house laboratory.
Discuss your validation requirements →Before repeat supply
Keep the reference clear.
- Identify the approved drawing and part revision.
- Agree the sample or other acceptance reference.
- Define critical dimensions and cosmetic acceptance criteria.
- Confirm inspection records and any traceability requirements.
- Review changes to material, design or tooling before implementation.
Inspection sampling, reporting, traceability and change-control requirements are agreed with the customer. They are not assumed to be identical across all projects.
