Quality & Certifications

What we check, and what we can put on paper.

Certification in this trade is three separate things: what LANEZO holds, what a partner factory holds, and what a specific batch can prove. They are listed separately below.

Also searched as: ISO 9001 factory certificate, EN 10204 3.1, pre-shipment inspection report, AQL 2.5 sampling, salt spray test report

Three layers, kept apart

Company / factory / batch
01
Company level

LANEZO holds no international certification today. Our control is the inspection process and the documents issued with each order.

02
Factory level

Some partner factories hold system certificates such as ISO 9001 or IATF 16949. For the factory quoted on your project, the certificate copy can be supplied with the holder's full legal name, scope, issuing body and expiry date.

03
Product and batch level

The part you can actually use: material certificates, test reports, compliance declarations and the pre-shipment inspection report with photos. These are issued per product or per batch, and the section below says who issues each one and when.

1. Standards we work to

Produced and inspected to
CategoryStandard / methodWhat the buyer gets
Fasteners and threaded partsISO 898-1 · ISO 68 / 261 · DIN / ANSI cross-referenceProperty class report, thread gauge record, grade marking on the carton
FiltersISO 5011 (test method) · ISO 11155 (test method)Test method reference. We do not publish filtration efficiency figures without our own test data
O-rings and sealsISO 3601 (size system) · NBR / FKM declared per batchDimensional report and a material declaration for the batch
Bearings (second batch)ISO 15 (dimensions) · clearance and tolerance class agreed per orderDimensional inspection sheet and tolerance class on the quotation
SamplingISO 2859-1 (AQL)Sampling level and AQL written into the order confirmation
Corrosion testingISO 9227Report number and laboratory name, not the word anti-rust

These are the standards we produce and inspect to. None of them is a certification held by LANEZO.

2. How quality is controlled

Six steps, one deliverable each
01
Sample approvalA physical sample is sealed and signed off. It becomes the reference for any later dispute.
02
Incoming materialMaterial and mill documents are checked before the batch is released to production.
03
In-process checksArranged per project. We say in the quotation whether a project gets them.
04
Pre-shipment inspectionDimension sampling, function check, packing and marking check against the order.
05
Report deliveryPhotos and the inspection sheet go to the buyer before the container is released.
06
ShipmentDocuments are issued against the confirmed order and sample.
Third-party inspection
On buyer instruction
LabsSGS / TÜV / BV
CostPer man-day
ReportAddressed to buyer

We say in the quotation whether a project includes in-process checks. Not every order needs them.

Each check is judged against the sealed sample, the drawing, and the tolerances, standard and AQL written into the order confirmation. The record it produces is listed in the documents table below. Documents table →

4. Factory certificates

Per factory

Factory certificates are supplied with the project documents. Tell us which factory you are quoting and we send the copy with the holder's name, scope, issuing body and expiry date.

What we record for each certificateFull legal name of the holder, the standard and its version (for example ISO 9001:2015), the scope and site it covers, issuing body, certificate number and expiry date.
How to request a copyName the project and the factory on the enquiry. Copies are supplied with the project documents.

5. If something goes wrong

Written into the order

The sealed sample and the specification confirmed on the quotation are the reference. A website description is not an inspection standard, and a photograph does not override a dimension on the drawing.

If a batch does not match, we inspect against those two references first, then agree the remedy: rework, replacement or refund. Who pays for freight, rework and re-inspection is set out in the order terms, not decided after the fact.

Send the inspection report and photos with the claim so we can take it to the factory the same day. The general site terms are on the Terms of Use page; the order terms govern the specific shipment.

Questions buyers ask

11 Q&A
Are you ISO 9001 certified?+

LANEZO itself is not. Some partner factories are, and we identify the factory on your project. Its certificate copy is supplied with the project documents.

Does a factory's ISO 9001 certificate cover the parts I buy?+

No. ISO 9001 certifies an organisation's quality management system, not a product. A CE mark applies only within the directive and product scope written on the declaration. On any certificate, check the holder, the products or sites it covers, the standard with its version, and the expiry date before treating it as approval for a specific part.

What standards are the parts made and inspected to?+

See the standards table above. It is by category, and it states what we work to and inspect to, not what we are certified to.

Can I get a material certificate with my order?+

Metal parts can carry an EN 10204 3.1 certificate when the mill-to-factory document chain is complete. Put it on the document list before the order is placed.

Do you offer third-party inspection?+

Yes, by buyer instruction. SGS, TÜV or BV can be arranged; the cost is quoted per man-day and the report is addressed to the buyer.

What AQL do you inspect to?+

ISO 2859-1, general inspection level II as a starting point, and the AQL is agreed with the buyer for the product. Commonly 2.5 or 4.0. It goes into the order confirmation.

Can you provide salt spray, hardness or torque reports?+

For fasteners, yes. The report carries a number and the laboratory name. Say at the enquiry stage if you need a third-party lab version.

Are your products RoHS / REACH compliant?+

We issue a declaration per specific product with its test basis. We do not make one site-wide promise, and we flag a product if it contains a restricted substance.

Do I need a Prop 65 warning for California?+

It depends on the material, for example some rubber compounds and coatings. We tell you per product whether one is needed and supply the information your label needs.

Can you support PPAP-style documentation?+

A simplified pack is available per project: dimensional report, material certificate and process description. A full PPAP is checked item by item against the selected factory's capability. We do not promise it upfront.

What happens if the goods do not match the approved sample?+

The sealed sample and the confirmed specification are the reference. Rework, replacement or refund, and who carries which cost, are written into the order terms. See the section above and the Terms page.

Ask which documents come with your part.

Name the part number and the documents you need. We will say which ones we can issue and which need the factory or a lab.
