What Does QTSL Certification Mean For An Electronic Component Supplier?

When an electronic component supplier is deemed eligible for the Defense Logistic Agency and Maritime’s Qualified Testing Suppliers List (QTSL), it says a lot about their ability to maintain quality assurance in every aspect of the company. The Defense Logistics Agency certifies only a handful of distributors that work directly with government and military systems. Before certification, a company must undergo an intense and extensive audit that evaluates their quality management system and inspection procedures. If a supplier is certified by the Defense Logistics Agency, audits are repeated every three years to make sure a company is consistent with their effective tactics.

According to the Defense Logistics Agency, QTSL products are from suppliers that practice solid counterfeit avoidance and quality assurance procedures that measure up to the highest of both industry and international standards. When it comes time to choose an electronic component supplier to partner with, certifications like this can make a big difference. Within the electronic industry, counterfeit items are a growing concern for both distributors and consumers.  Knowing that a company holds such a prestigious certification in counterfeit avoidance speaks volumes. If a counterfeit item enters your supply chain, you are putting your both your business and your clients at great risk. Knowing that a company has been evaluated and certified by a national agency based on their quality assurance procedures also says a lot for their company. Proper inventory management, state-of-the-art products and consistent customer service solutions are not always easy to come across and are the keys to a successful business in the electronic industry.
