Merlin PCB GroupKestrel International Circuits – Offshore Auditing

www.merlinpcbgroup.com

Kestrel will audit / review all of their offshore

suppliers at least once a year and where

possible every six months. This audit on the

supplier will verify that they can meet the

standards and are capable of producing Printed

Circuit Boards to our customer’s exacting

requirements. From material origins through to

process control to product qualification are

examined by Kestrel trained staff, who have

many years of experience in the Industry.
