IBS Electronics: IC Failure Analysis
IBS Electronics, Inc. is pleased to announce its Semiconductor Failure Analysis, Reliability and Environmental testing services.
WHITE HORSE LABORATORIES
The IBS Electronics Group has partnered with White Horse Laboratories to support global procurement and Supply Chain Management commitments to our clients.
White Horse established testing, inspection, and packaging business unit in response to the growing proliferation of substandard and counterfeit electronics components. After researching the domestic market, White Horse stepped in where no company previously existed to provide quality control and operational services to foreign and domestic distributors alike. White Horse sets the standard and the model for turnkey services throughout this global industry.
Today, White Horse Laboratories focuses on continually raising the bar of customer expectations by not only providing testing and quality control services, but in educating the industry on standards, processes, terminology, risks, and requirements.
Those protocols include and are not limited to Documentation & Packaging Inspection, General Inspection & Sampling, External Visual Inspection and Electrical Testing to determine the condition and functionality of the deliveries. They follow International Standard and Certifications including AS6081, AS6171, AS9120 and many more to ensure quality control. Other additional laboratory processes are applied for further verification when necessary.
