IQC incoming raw material inspection for PCB substrates

Raw Material Control

At Bestech, incoming raw material quality is our top priority and the foundation of stable production. We never accept substandard materials.
Our IQC team strictly inspects all incoming raw materials against customer specifications and industry regulatory standards. We fully adhere to all technical requirements provided by clients.
We persistently pursue high-quality raw materials and reliable service integrity to meet your strictest quality requirements.
We source materials from established, well-known PCB material suppliers in the industry to guarantee consistent board quality. Long-term stable partnerships with core vendors ensure reliable, high-quality material supply and support sustainable mutual growth.

In Process Control

At Bestech, quality assurance, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement are core objectives. Every team member takes responsibility for quality optimization throughout the full PCB manufacturing workflow, from pre-production design to finished product delivery.
Comprehensive inspections are implemented at every production stage. All PCBs are manufactured under the following quality specifications:
  • 1. Standard PCB manufacturing quality complies with IPC-6012 Class 2
  • 2. Base material UL 94V-0 flammability rating
  • 3. Final outgoing inspection: G-II AQL 0.65%
  • 4. AOI inspection for inner and outer circuit layers
  • 5. 100% electrical connectivity testing
  • 6. Factory certified to ISO9001:2015 & ISO14001:2015
1. Design Rules Check (DRC)
DRC is a critical pre-production procedure. Our experienced CAM engineers use GENESIS software to conduct thorough review of your PCB production data. Comprehensive DRC catches potential design risks in advance to avoid production defects. We also verify PCB manufacturability; our CAM team will communicate with clients proactively if any design constraints are identified before production commences.
2. Electrical Testing
Electrical testing (E-Test) is performed after PCB fabrication. Flying probe testing applies to prototypes and low-volume orders, while dedicated test fixtures are used for mass production batches. Testers detect open circuits, short circuits and verify network consistency against original design files. Defective panels are marked and segregated.
3. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
AOI equipment inspects inner layers for multilayer PCBs, delivering higher consistency than manual visual inspection. Multiple light sources and high-resolution scanners scan the entire board surface. Bare-board AOI detects the following defects:
  • Line width violations
  • Trace spacing violations
  • Excess copper residues
  • Missing pads
  • Broken traces or pads
  • Drill hole damage
4. X-Ray Inspection
X-ray inspection monitors layer registration during multilayer PCB lamination, the most effective method to detect and correct layer shift. X-ray scanning also optimizes drilling alignment. Minor coordinate deviations between circuit patterns and drill targets can be identified. Calibration adjustments within defined tolerances optimize drilling reference points on all axes with micron-level precision.
5. ISO 9001:2015 and UL Certified
We operate as an ISO 9001:2015 certified PCB manufacturer. Our quality system documents all customer requirements and manages communications including inquiries, orders, technical feedback and complaints. Regular internal and third-party audits ensure the QC system remains effective and compliant.
