Product & Quality Assurance

The Quality lab has been initially developed to support the quality requirement of the CSL space projects. Over the years, our quality engineers have developed a metrological expertise sought after by some of our partners and industrial neighbours.

asically, the QA lab performs climatic tests, cleanliness control and contamination analysis on a daily base for internal purpose. The lab owns state of the art equipment to maintain a very high level of accuracy and precision.

The lab is especially becoming a reference in organic contamination analyses, performed to verify that the stringent contamination and cleanliness specifications applied to spacecraft materials and associated equipment are met. Such analyses are more and more demanded by external customers and became a self-supporting activity at CSL.

The PA engineers follow the requirements from the European Space Agency and, consequently from all partners dealing with the Space area, through the Agency standards ECSS-Q-ST-20-07C – “Quality assurance for test centre”.
