Quality Certifications & Compliance
At Metal Stamping Parts Ltd, quality is not just a department — it is the foundation of every process, every part, and every shipment. Since 2008, we have invested heavily in internationally recognized quality management systems, advanced inspection equipment, and rigorous process controls to deliver precision metal stampings that meet or exceed our customers’ requirements.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Management System
Our facility operates under a fully certified ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, the internationally recognized standard for quality management. This certification covers our entire operation — from incoming raw material inspection through tooling design, stamping production, secondary operations, final inspection, and shipping.
- Documented procedures for every stage of production
- Regular internal audits and management reviews
- Continuous improvement through CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) processes
- Annual third-party surveillance audits by accredited certification bodies
- Full traceability from raw material to finished part
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification ensures consistent quality, reduced waste, and predictable delivery performance for every order.
IATF 16949 Compliance for Automotive Parts
For automotive OEM and Tier 1 suppliers, we operate in compliance with IATF 16949, the automotive quality management standard that builds upon ISO 9001 with additional requirements specific to the automotive sector.
- APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) for new product launches
- FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) for process risk assessment
- SPC (Statistical Process Control) monitoring on critical dimensions
- MSA (Measurement System Analysis) to validate inspection accuracy
- Control Plans for every production process
IATF 16949 compliance means our automotive stamping parts meet the stringent quality and reliability requirements demanded by the global automotive supply chain.
PPAP Level 3 Documentation
We provide PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) Level 3 documentation as standard for automotive and high-reliability applications. PPAP Level 3 includes:
- Design records and engineering change documents
- Process flow diagrams
- Control plans and inspection instructions
- Measurement system analysis studies
- Dimensional results and material certifications
- Initial process capability studies (Cpk ≥ 1.67 for critical dimensions)
- Sample production parts and master samples
- Part submission warrant (PSW)
PPAP documentation is available within 5 business days of sample approval for new projects.
In-House Inspection & Testing Equipment
Our quality laboratory is equipped with precision metrology instruments to verify every critical dimension and material property:
- CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) — Zeiss CONTURA series for 3D dimensional inspection with accuracy to ±0.001mm
- Optical Comparator — For profile inspection of complex geometries and edge conditions
- Tensile Testing Machine — Verifies material strength, elongation, and yield properties
- Hardness Tester — Rockwell and Vickers hardness verification for incoming materials
- Surface Roughness Tester — Ra/Rz measurement for functional surfaces
- Salt Spray Chamber — Corrosion resistance testing for coated parts
- Vision Measurement System — High-speed automated inspection for small precision parts
Material Certifications & Compliance
All raw materials are sourced from verified suppliers with full traceability. We provide the following material certifications with every shipment:
- SGS Testing — Third-party material composition verification
- RoHS Compliance — Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive compliance for electronics applications
- REACH Compliance — European chemical safety regulation compliance
- Material Test Certificates (MTC) — Mill certificates with chemical composition and mechanical properties
- Conflict Minerals Reporting — CMRT available upon request
Material certifications are included with every shipment at no additional cost.
Our Quality Control Process
Quality is built into every step of our manufacturing process:
- Incoming Inspection — Raw materials verified against specifications before entering production
- First Article Inspection (FAI) — Complete dimensional report on the first parts from every new setup
- In-Process Inspection — SPC monitoring and operator checks throughout the production run
- Final Inspection — AQL sampling per MIL-STD-1916 or customer-specific requirements
- Packaging Inspection — Visual and count verification before sealing each carton
- Shipping Documentation — Certificates of conformance, inspection reports, and material certifications included
What Our Certifications Mean for You
Our quality certifications deliver tangible value to every customer:
- Reduced Risk — Rigorous process controls minimize defects and returns
- Regulatory Compliance — Meet industry-specific requirements without additional auditing
- Full Traceability — Track every part back to its raw material batch
- Faster Qualification — PPAP documentation accelerates supplier approval processes
- Cost Savings — Fewer quality escapes mean lower total cost of ownership
