Our primary goal is to satisfy the needs
and exceed the expectations of our customers

Our primary goal is to satisfy the needs and exceed the expectations of our customers and to contribute to sustainable technology and product development. This is accomplished through the implementation of nationally and internationally recognized accreditations, which also assist CTS in meeting legal, regulatory, industry, customer or other requirements.

At the heart of stakeholder focus is our range of independent, externally assessed, management system accreditations and product approvals. Each of our facilities maintain the management systems as integral to our customer-focused drive for continuous improvement and enhance manufacturing processes.

Quality Approvals & Registrations:

TuV: CTS is an "approved production facility" as assessed independently by TUV Product Services, who in addition to assessing our ISO 9001:2000 QMS, also verify product conformity, functional and safety testing on behalf of a major customer.

BABT: BABTps in addition to assessing our ISO 9001:2000 QMS, also verifies functional and safety testing.  BABT Manufacturing Test Numbers S01, S02, S03, S04:  The capability to conduct the above testing has been assessed by BABT and included in this certification.  This does not exclude the conducting of other relevant testing as part of the production process, nor does it imply that the tests listed are adequate to demonstrate ongoing compliance with any defined requirements in their own right, but provides an indication of assessed test capability and expertise.

UL and CSA: The CTS range of connectors are recognized under the Component Programme of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Certified by the Canadian Standards Authority (CSA), both provide international recognition and are assessed under their continuous conformity inspection programmes.  Both UL & CSA also inspect product conformity for CTS’ major customers.

Quality Assurance is integral to the design and manufacturing cycle and is at the heart of our customer satisfaction policy.  We are members of the IPCand IPC-A-610 is our basic workmanship standards manual.  Furthermore, we have IPC registered instructors for both IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001.  CTS manufacturing processes are capable of satisfying and currently produce to IPC-610 Class 3.
