Testing and Inspection Procedures at Creative Hi-Tech

We follow rigorous testing and inspection procedures, which allow us to ensure high accuracy of circuit boards:

• Automated Optical Inspection: Our AOI equipment provides comprehensive fault coverage. It helps us to inspect components thoroughly for their optical placement, orientation, value, color differences, short circuits, dry joints, etc. This is the most effective way of inspecting all mixed technology PCBs, as well as SMT, Through-Hole, and BGA assemblies.


• X-Ray Testing: We employ a state-of-the art automated X-ray system to ensure highest quality inspection of PCBs. This type of testing helps us to inspect the quality of PCB components and any hidden faults that are otherwise invisible during visual inspection. This type of testing helps us remove any manufacturing defects in the preliminary stages, and avoid various expensive performance problems in the long run.


• Functional Testing: This is performed to ensure the proper functioning of the PCB assembly.

Standards Conformance

We ensure that a PCB meets UL safety standards. We follow all the required industry standards such as:

• ISO 9001:2008
• IPC-CC-830B
• IPC-WHMA-A-610
• All assemblies built to IPC-A-610-D & ANSI/J-STD-001
• SBA certified

Creative Hi- Tech also delivers RoHS PCB assembly and design services. To know more about mixed technology PCB assembly services or other PCB assemblies, feel free to call us at 224.653.4000, or email at sales@creativehitech.com. We will get back to you within one business day.
