Bicycle Fastener Quality Control

Drawing-controlled inspection, qualified partner testing, and order-specific quality documentation for bicycle fasteners.

Quality is not an afterthought — it's embedded in every stage of our manufacturing process. We hold ISO 9001:2015 certification from Bureau Veritas for the production of hardware screws and nuts. Inspection, testing, traceability, and documentation are defined by the approved drawing, applicable standard, customer requirements, and agreed control plan.

ISO 9001 Certified Bureau Veritas · valid to Apr 27, 2029
Project-Specific Salt Spray Method, duration, and acceptance follow the approved coating specification
CTQ Plan Inspection Sampling or 100% checks follow the drawing and customer control plan
5 QC Stages Incoming to final audit
0.01mm Precision Optical CMM accuracy

Drawing-Controlled Quality Process

Five existing control stages, with the method, frequency, sample size, acceptance criteria, and evidence defined by the approved project requirements.

01

Incoming Material

Incoming material certificates, identity, dimensions, or laboratory checks are reviewed when required by the approved drawing, standard, customer requirement, and control plan.

  • Mill certificate review
  • Spectrometer verification
  • Dimensional sampling
02

In-Process

First-piece, in-process, and final-piece checks are applied at the frequency defined for the approved part and process route; SPC or additional controls are used when specified.

  • First-piece approval
  • SPC sampling intervals
  • Tool wear monitoring
03

Laboratory Testing

Mechanical and corrosion testing is coordinated according to the applicable product or coating standard and customer requirement. Sample size, method, duration, and acceptance criteria are confirmed in the project control plan.

  • Tensile & hardness
  • Torque coefficient
  • Salt spray method and duration per approved specification
04

Final Inspection

Critical dimensions use sampling or 100% inspection as defined by the drawing, customer requirement, and control plan. Optical sorting, thread gauges, and coating-thickness checks are applied when specified.

  • Optical sorting when specified
  • Thread gauge GO/NO-GO
  • Coating verification
05

Pre-Shipment Audit

Pre-shipment sampling, documentation review, labels, packaging, and certificate requirements follow the agreed control plan and purchase-order scope; ISO 2859 methods are used only when specified.

  • AQL sampling plan
  • Documentation review
  • CoC issued

Quality Assurance & Test Support

Current ISO 9001 evidence plus project-specific inspection, testing, standards, traceability, and documentation support.

Order-Specific Quality Documentation

The exact document package is defined in the approved quotation, drawing, customer requirement, and purchase order.

Certificate of Conformance

A Certificate of Conformance can be supplied when required by the approved order and applicable specification.

Material Certificates

Material certificates or test reports can be supplied when required, with the grade, property, heat, or traceability fields defined by the project.

Inspection Reports

Dimensional, coating, corrosion, mechanical, or other inspection and test reports are supplied when specified, using the agreed method and acceptance criteria.

Batch Traceability

Batch and material traceability are configured to the customer requirement, approved drawing, packaging label, and agreed documentation scope.

Why Quality Matters

The impact of reliable fasteners on your product

Safety First

Fastener quality requirements should reflect the actual bicycle application, drawing, mating parts, load case, assembly method, and validation plan.

Defect Prevention

Optical sorting, gauges, dimensional checks, coating checks, or other controls are applied when specified by the drawing and control plan.

Documented Receiving Evidence

Agreed reports, labels, certificates, and traceability fields help the customer complete receiving inspection and supplier-quality records.

Long-Term Reliability

Coating type, corrosion test method, duration, acceptance criteria, friction condition, and torque validation are defined by the approved specification and assembly requirements.
