Quality and Certification

At KeypadOne, quality is built into every layer we print, laminate and test before it ships.

Certified Systems Behind Every Part We

A certificate on the wall means little if it does not change how parts are made. For us, each management system defines a working rule on the shop floor: how materials are approved, how changes are controlled and how a deviation is handled before it reaches your line.Our quality, environmental, safety and hazardous-substance systems are audited by third parties and applied across nameplates, membrane switches, touch panels and flexible circuits, so the same discipline covers every product family we build for you.

What that means in practice:

  • ISO 9001:2015 quality management applied from quotation to shipment
  • IATF 16949:2016 automotive quality management for automotive electronics programs
  • QC 080000:2017 hazardous substance process management (HSPM)
  • ISO 14001:2015 environmental management and ISO 14064:2018 greenhouse gas verification
  • ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety management
  • Intellectual property management system certification to protect your designs

Reliability Verification We Run Ourselves

Before a structure is approved for a customer program it is put through the tests that correspond to the conditions the finished product will meet.

Aging Test

Equipment includes constant temperature & humidity, thermal shock, and high-low temperature cycling chambers, simulating real-world environmental stress to verify long-term product reliability.

 Long-term reliability under harsh environments

Peel Strength Test

Controlled peeling of the adhesive layer from the substrate to measure bonding force and confirm adhesion stays consistent.

Adhesive bonding and layer separation

 RoHS 1.0 XRF Screening

EDXRF spectrometer screens incoming materials and finished parts for lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium and bromine before production and shipment.

Heavy metal and halogen screening

 RoHS 2.0 Phthalate Testing

Pyrolysis-based analyzer checks films, inks and adhesives for the four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) added under EU 2015/863.

Phthalate screening for RoHS 10 compliance

FTIR Material Analysis

Infrared spectroscopy to identify the composition of incoming films, inks, and adhesives before production.

Material identification and consistency verification

ICT Electrical Test

Fixture-based electrical check of every circuit for opens, shorts and resistance values before parts are released for shipment.

Circuit continuity and insulation

 Salt Spray Corrosion Test

 Controlled salt fog exposure evaluates the corrosion resistance of metal domes, contacts and metal nameplates for harsh-environment applications.

 Corrosion resistance verification

 Key Life Cycle Test

Multi-station tester repeatedly actuates keys at defined force and speed, verifying tactile feel, dome endurance and circuit reliability over long-term use.

 Tactile endurance and switching reliability

 UL94 Flammability Test

 In-house horizontal and vertical burning tests evaluate the flame-retardant behavior of films, overlays and adhesives against UL94 methods.

Flame retardancy evaluation

Validation in the Customer’s Own Product

Bench testing confirms the switch. The product confirms the design. We support the second test as closely as the first.For programs that require it we supply parts for whole-unit assembly trials, then work through the findings with your engineering team: actuation force, graphics, tail routing or adhesive selection are all evaluated before the mass production order is released.The same support applies after launch. If a part behaves differently in the field than it did on the bench, the traceability record lets us find the operation that changed and correct it at the process rather than at the inspection station.

Management Systems and Certifications

Certification is not a marketing exercise here. Six systems are audited on a rolling basis and the findings feed straight back into the process control described above.
Quality management system

ISO 9001

Certified since 2009, our quality system covers the design, development and production of nameplates, membrane switches, adhesive labels and die-cut parts.

Automotive quality management

IATF 16949

Certified to IATF 16949:2016 by Quality Austria for membrane switches, printed panels and labels, and die-cut diffuser film and sound insulation foam.

Environmental management

ISO 14001

Certified since 2021, applying ISO 14001:2015 environmental controls across both of our Dongguan production sites.

Occupational health and safety

ISO 45001

Certified since 2021, managing workplace health and safety under ISO 45001:2018 at every stage, from printing to die-cutting.

Greenhouse gas verification

ISO 14064

Our 2025 greenhouse gas emissions were independently verified to ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14064-3:2019 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Hazardous substance process management

QC 080000

Certified to IECQ QC 080000:2017. Our HSPM system controls restricted substances to meet EU RoHS (2011/65/EU) and customer-specified requirements.

Ask Us to Prove It

If your program needs test reports, material declarations or a traceability record for a specific batch, we would rather send the evidence than describe it.
