Verified PCB & PCBA manufacturingAcceptance based on product risk
PCBA Testing & Inspection Services
PCBA testing services including visual inspection, AOI, X-ray, ICT and functional test planning based on design risk and acceptance criteria.
What this service solves
A controlled path from requirements to acceptance
No single test method proves every assembly is good. Test coverage should be selected according to component visibility, circuit access, failure consequence and the customer’s acceptance requirements.
Best fit for
- Boards with hidden-joint packages
- Products requiring electrical or functional screening
- Programs needing documented acceptance records
Scope
Typical project deliverables
The exact scope is frozen in the quotation and approved build documentation.
| Deliverable | Control point | Customer output |
|---|---|---|
| 01 · Inspection and test-coverage proposal | Confirmed before material commitment | Approved assumptions and responsibilities |
| 02 · AOI/X-ray allocation by package risk | Confirmed before material commitment | Approved assumptions and responsibilities |
| 03 · ICT or flying-probe feasibility review | Controlled during manufacturing | Repeatable production instruction |
| 04 · Functional-test fixture input | Controlled during manufacturing | Repeatable production instruction |
| 05 · Failure handling and retest rules | Verified before release | Inspection, test or shipment evidence by scope |
| 06 · Test records by agreed scope | Verified before release | Inspection, test or shipment evidence by scope |
Workflow
How a build moves forward
- 01
Qualification
Confirm product stage, quantities and commercial fit.
- 02
File review
Identify missing data and manufacturability conflicts.
- 03
Quotation
Separate material, fabrication, assembly, test and logistics assumptions.
- 04
Approval
Freeze revisions, alternates and acceptance criteria.
- 05
Build & validation
Manufacture against the approved package and record agreed results.
Risk review
Issues to resolve early
| Risk | Required control |
|---|---|
| Claiming 100% coverage without a coverage analysis | Resolve conflicting inputs in a dated engineering review. |
| Testing without pass/fail limits | Record approval ownership and release status before purchase. |
| No ownership for fixture maintenance | Define handling, traceability and exception rules in the build package. |
| Rework without retest rules | Select inspection and test coverage against the actual failure risk. |
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AOI and X-ray?
AOI inspects visible features such as placement and solder joints. X-ray is used for hidden joints and internal solder features that optical systems cannot see.
Who supplies the functional-test procedure?
The customer normally defines product behavior and acceptance limits. The manufacturer can help translate that into a repeatable fixture and production procedure.
Does every board need ICT?
No. ICT feasibility depends on test access, volume, fault coverage and fixture economics. Other combinations may be more appropriate.
