Competences / Quality & Certifications

Built to be
tested.

Quality checks must relate to the actual product and its intended installation. Review the mechanical, electronic and delivery checks described here, together with available testing and certification documents. Ask for evidence that identifies the selected configuration and applicable standard; a company-level statement does not establish approval for every product or market.

A check at every handoff.

Quality work starts with incoming parts and continues through assembly, product testing and delivery preparation.

  1. 01

    Incoming

    Inspect materials and components before they enter production.

  2. 02

    In process

    Check fit, assembly and functional points as work progresses.

  3. 03

    Finished product

    Verify motion, controls and the complete system.

  4. 04

    Before dispatch

    Review packaging and the documents required for delivery.

Testing the system, not just the part.

Dedicated equipment lets the team examine stability, electrical behaviour, component life and transport conditions.

Mechanical performance

Movement has to feel stable.

Column and whole-desk stability are checked on dedicated rigs before a product configuration moves forward.

Electronics & control

Check the signals behind the movement.

Electronic load and handset button tests examine how the control system behaves under repeated use.

Materials & delivery

Check what the journey demands.

Surface and packaging tests help evaluate how a finished product will handle its intended route.

A result is useful when it can be traced.

Inspection points and production records help teams see where an issue began, what was checked and what needs to happen next.

The scope of reports and handover documents is confirmed for each product and project.

The right evidence for the right market.

Request certification and compliance documents for the model, configuration and market you are evaluating. The relevant documents, their scope and their validity are confirmed for each request.
