Our mechanical testing laboratory JC Precision Labs (or JPL, named in honor of the famous lab at Caltech, the alma mater of our general manager) is also located in Kangshan Taiwan, but physically separated from our manufacturing activities. This laboratory is able to perform nearly all relevant fastener evaluations, and characterize products produced either in Taiwan or China.
JC Grand has been certified by A2LA since 2007 (cert #2677.01). A2LA is a non-profit, public service organization, whose accreditation and regular audits confirm that our laboratory and quality management meet or exceed ISO 17025 criteria for lab competence. Moreover, A2LA requirements and audits are far more stringent than local Taiwan or China certification bodies, specifically CNLA/TAF. Don't accept substitutes!
The fundamental goals of A2LA are to:
- Achieve customer satisfaction through competent testing and calibration;
- Improve the quality of laboratories, and the data they produce; and
- Increase confidence in the integrity of accredited laboratory data to facilitate trade.
