اختبار الأشعة فوق البنفسجية في مختبر فحص الجودة لدى Afarer

تحمل كل سفينة تغادر ورشتنا شهادة اجتيازها مجموعة محددة من فحوصات الجودة واختبارات المواد. ومختبر الجودة والفحص لدينا جهة مستقلة داخل المؤسسة — حيث يرفع تقاريره مباشرة إلى المدير العام وليس إلى الإنتاج — ما يضمن عدم قدرة أي ضغوط تجارية على المساس ببوابة الفحص. وإذا لم تلتزم دفعة مواد أو سفينة مكتملة بالمواصفات المنشورة، فللمختبر صلاحية إيقاف الشحنة حتى يتم حل عدم المطابقة.

Trust, but verify

The lab operates under a quality management system aligned with principles, and our test methods are based on ISO, ASTM, and EN standards wherever applicable. We maintain detailed records of every test performed, creating a complete traceability chain from raw material receipt to final boat delivery.

The inspection gates — from material to delivery

Every boat follows a defined quality plan with mandatory inspection points. No boat can skip a gate; each gate must be signed off by a quality inspector before the next production stage begins.

Gate 1

Incoming material inspection

Fabric batch, adhesive batch, hardware — all checked against incoming specification before release to production.

Gate 2

In-process weld inspection

First-off weld coupon tested (peel + visual) at start of each production shift.

Gate 3

Chamber air test

Each chamber pressurised to 1.5 x working pressure, held 30 min. Data logged per serial number.

Gate 4

Pre-delivery inspection

Complete boat inspected: all fasteners torqued, systems functional, no cosmetic defects. 100-point checklist.

Gate 5

Final certification

Test reports compiled, inspection records reviewed, Certificate of Conformance issued.

Key quality metrics (2025 rolling average)

99.7 % First-pass yield (fabric batch)
< 0.2 % Weld reject rate (linear metre)
100 % Chambers air-tested before assembly
ISO 6185 Design category compliance

Our quality team

The lab is staffed by a quality manager (10 years in marine QA, ASQ Certified Quality Engineer), two quality inspectors (each with Level 2 NDT certification in visual testing), and a materials technician responsible for all physical testing. The team undergoes annual proficiency testing through an independent third-party provider to ensure that our test results remain accurate and reproducible.

Independent testing for clients

Our Quality & Inspection Lab is available for independent testing services. If you need to verify a fabric specification, validate a new adhesive system, or obtain a third-party test report for a procurement qualification, we can perform the tests to the applicable standard and issue a certified test report.

Examples of recent third-party testing work:

  • Peel-strength comparison of five competitive adhesive film products for a European military procurement programme.
  • Accelerated ageing study (UV + thermal cycling) for a new orange-pigmented PVC formulation, with regular interim measurements at 500 h intervals.
  • Air-retention validation of 50 prototype baffle valves for a new high-pressure tube design.

Our commitment to you

When you receive a {SITE.name} boat, you also receive its quality dossier — a compiled record of the test results that apply to your specific boat. Fabric batch certificate, weld peel tests, chamber air-test logs, and pre-delivery inspection checklist. Every number is traceable. Every inspector is identified. This is not just paperwork — it is our promise that what we delivered is what we specified.

If you ever have a quality concern, you can contact the lab directly — the contact details are printed on your certificate of conformance. We take every query seriously and commit to a formal investigation within 48 hours.
