I have noticed that all of the threads here relate to testing of e-liquid. I thought it might be interesting to start one for hardware. I would be interested to hear from manufacturers of any physical products in the electronic cigarette industry relating to the quality control procedures that your company has in place. I have written out some sample questions below, but feel free to add anything that you feel might be of interest.
Is your organization accredited to a particular quality system. (ex. ISO9001)?
Do you perform first article or final inspections?
Do you implement AQL sampling plans or any sort of statistical process controls (SPC)?
Do you have a designated quality department?
What sort of tolerances do you normally work to?
If your product is electronic in nature, do you perform any electrical testing? If so, what tests exactly?
