At GBE, quality is at the heart of everything we do. From initial design to manufacturing and ongoing support, we are committed to ensuring the highest standards are maintained across all aspects of our business. Our robust ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) reflects our dedication to excellence and continuous improvement.
At GBE, we recognise that quality control is not a single step but an integral part of every process.
Our customers rely on us to deliver electronic products that perform consistently in demanding environments.
Our approach includes:
This commitment to quality provides our customers with confidence that every product we design and manufacture performs reliably in the field.
As an approved supplier to market-leading blue-chip customers, GBE is well-versed in:
GBE's ISO 9001:2015 certification represents our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our electronic device development, production, and servicing.
This accreditation reflects our investment in the following:
Our manufacturing processes incorporate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) control measures to safeguard product integrity.
Beyond compliance, we instil an understanding of ESD control in our staff, ensuring that everyone within the organisation actively contributes to maintaining these essential standards.
Environmental responsibility is at the core of GBE's values.
Our Environmental Management Plan, accredited to ISO 14001:2015, guides our efforts to protect and preserve the environment.
This plan is not static; it evolves through regular reviews and optimisation during monthly management meetings, ensuring we stay ahead of environmental challenges and legislative requirements.
GBE's production staff are Certified IPC Specialists to the standard J-STD-001.
This standard is recognised worldwide for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies to the highest levels and, together with our ISO 9001:2015 conforming Quality Management System, demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of competence and performance.
GBE recognises the importance of this legislation, given the current environmental concerns. However, we also realise the extra logistical and cost burden this places on the producers of WEEE. GBE has registered with a Producer Compliance Scheme, B2B Compliance, to address this. B2B Compliance ensures GBE is fully compliant under the UK WEEE Regulations - including the recycling of any assigned WEEE.
GBE can manufacture and support any given contract to adhere to the requirements of WEEE legislation, thus reducing the administrative burden on our customers. GBE can also offer advice on adherence to the scheme.
GBE's Producer Registration Number - WEE/GD0204VX
GBE's manufacturing service is fully compliant with both the EU RoHS directive 2011/65/EU including commission delegated directive (EU) 2015/863 (aka RoHS 3), amending the RoHS directive to include phthalates, and the equivalent UK legislation statutory instrument (SI) 2012 No. 3032.
GBE's experienced manufacturing team conducted extensive research into the most suitable lead-free materials and new equipment to enable them to continue manufacturing to their previous high standards per the RoHS legislation.
