Elevating technology, assuring excellence.
Approved component technology certification
The IECQ Approved component technology certification is a specific certification programme that evaluates and certifies the technology used in the design, manufacture, and testing of electronic components.
The IECQ technology certification ensures that the technology used in the production of electronic components is of high quality and meets international standards/specifications. The certification covers various aspects of technology, including design, materials, manufacturing processes, testing, and quality control.
By obtaining the IECQ technology certification, manufacturers can demonstrate that their electronic components are designed and produced using high-quality technology, which can help to improve product quality, performance, and reliability. Additionally, customers can have greater confidence in the quality of the products they purchase, as they know that they have been independently certified to meet international standards.
