AMETEK NCC has a Quality System that utilizes rigid control processes throughout the design, development, and manufacturing process to assure our customers of reliable products. AMETEK NCC justifies its claim of producing high quality products by placing emphasis on the following:

1. Design Review - As each product is conceived and its development is planned, detailed design criteria and thoroughly reviewed by Marketing, Design Engineering, Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Product Test Engineering, and Product Service and Repair personnel to ensure all requirements are met.

2. Suppliers Qualification - Every supplier of material that goes into AMETEK NCC products is evaluated for their capability to produce and deliver material according to specified requirements and must maintain an acceptable performance rating.

3. Incoming Inspection/Test - Materials received are inspected/tested to ensure they meet all required specifications.

4. In-Process Inspection/Testing - Inspection and testing occurs throughout the production process to verify the following:

• Proper assembly and overall workmanship of products
• Products are calibrated, electrically tested for proper function and hi-post per UL standards
• Life tested (products are burned-in to simulate actual operating conditions)

5. Final Inspection/Test - Finished products are final inspected/tested to ensure compliance with all AMETEK NCC customer specifications.

6. Quality Audits - AMETEK NCC departments are audited for compliance with quality system requirements.

7. Standards Compliance - AMETEK NCC products are designed to comply with Underwriters Laboratory's Canadian Standards Association's and the Federal Communications Commission's standard requirements for safety and emissions control. These activities are conducted on a sample basis per Mil-STD-105E Sampling Standard. The measurement/test equipment used during all product stages are calibrated per AMETEK NCC's in-house process that conforms to MIL-STD-45662 Standard for Calibration Systems requirements.

8. Documentation - AMETEK NCC's Quality System is completely described in our Quality Assurance Manual which is available upon request along with our Product Workmanship Standard. Since all products are final inspected/tested after being 100% functionally tested during production, AMETEK NCC also offers a Certificate of Conformance, upon request, to customers desiring to minimize their internal process times by eliminating the need to perform an incoming inspection/test on AMETEK NCC products.
