Quality
Not a policy statement. A system you can audit.
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.
