Quality Specifications

Guinault company quality insurance policy is based on the ISO 9001:2000 organizational model and the NATO (AQAP 120) requirements, in order to make sure that these processes are both adhered to, and constantly improved upon.

Additional controls from independent organization (APAVE, VERITAS, etc.) can be carried out. In addition to the internal test protocols, specific testing can be carried out, for example :

• Electromagnetic interference according to a precised standard
• Any climatic conditions to be simulated in laboratory (-32°C/+50°C operation, 100% humidity, 1500m altitude)
• These tests are carried out by an independant laboratory (GIRAC, SOPEMEA, etc.)
• The behaviour of the apparatus under significant accelerative force
• Non-destructive testing
