Quality

Not a policy statement. A system you can audit.

Quality at KELD is not a declaration pinned to a wall. It is a system of processes, controls, and evidence that runs through every project, every production run, and every unit we deliver. We built it to meet the demands of our most exacting clients — and we operate it with the same discipline every day.

Quality Management System

KELD operates under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system that covers the full scope of our operations: design, development, manufacturing, testing, and post-delivery support. Our QMS is not a parallel structure; it is integrated into the way we work.

WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE

  • Documented processes for every phase of the product lifecycle, from initial feasibility to serial production.
  • Defined control points and acceptance criteria at each production stage.
  • Systematic non-conformance management with root cause analysis and corrective action.
  • Continuous improvement driven by internal audits, management reviews, and customer feedback.
  • Controlled change management: no design or process change without validated impact assessment.

Certifications & Standards

KELD products are designed and manufactured to meet the certification requirements of your target markets. We support compliance with the standards most relevant to industrial electronics, motor control, and HVAC applications across Europe, the United States, and other regions.

STANDARDS WE REGULARLY WORK WITH

CE marking (EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive, Machinery Directive). UL / CSA listings for North American markets. RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental compliance. ErP / Ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. Application-specific standards for HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial equipment.

We manage the certification process as part of our standard project delivery, including laboratory testing coordination, documentation preparation, and ongoing compliance maintenance.

APQP & Qualification Approach

For clients with advanced quality requirements, KELD applies an APQP-informed approach to new product introduction. This means quality is planned into the project from the start, not inspected into it at the end.

KEY ELEMENTS

  • Risk identification and mitigation planning during the design phase.
  • Control plan development before series launch.
  • Process capability validation during pre-production runs.
  • First Article Inspection (FAI) with full documentation package.
  • PPAP-equivalent submission where required by client quality systems.

Audit Readiness & Supplier Onboarding

We understand that qualifying a new electronics partner is a significant decision. KELD is structured to make that process straightforward, transparent, and evidence-based.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Open-door audit policy: your quality and engineering teams are welcome to visit our facility and review our systems.
  • Pre-qualification documentation package: facility profile, process capabilities, quality metrics, and certification copies — available upon request.
  • Structured onboarding process: we have a defined sequence for new client qualification that integrates with your supplier approval workflow.
  • NDA-first engagement: we respect confidentiality from the first conversation, with formal NDAs in place before any technical exchange.

Environmental Responsibility

KELD is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our operations and products. Our environmental management practices are integrated with our quality system and cover waste reduction, energy efficiency, hazardous substance control, and compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. We actively support our clients’ sustainability objectives by designing for material efficiency, enabling energy-efficient operation in end products, and ensuring full compliance with environmental directives.
