First Article Inspection Services

CDG is an ISO 17020 accredited Inspection & Certification Body, authorized to execute Inspection of Industrial Production Processes, complex Constructions, as well as single Equipment, by highly experienced staff, as an independent Third-Party Organization, according to the requirements of applicable Brand, National or International Standards.

Our purpose is to help you expand your core competencies. First Article Inspections take a lot of time and effort to complete, and they can quickly slow down your quality dept's workflow. Using our solution helps your quality crew to retain their present productivity for current manufacturing demands while also meeting your clients' needs to verify that your product is in conformity with the print.

A First Article Inspection is a part of the production process used to verify to the design owners (internal design engineers or external customers) that the components and assemblies that are manufactured are initially correct to the print. If a design change occurs, tool change or repair happens, a new supplier is added or a sufficiently long lapse in production of that component occurs, then a new First Article Inspection should happen to verify that the tooling and process continue to have the ability to meet the specification requirements. Additional inspections may be required after an FAI through the life of the product to ensure product control. The FAI helps document and assure that the components satisfy the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) requirements.

We conduct FAIs continually and are set up to provide this type of service. Programming new inspections are one of the most time-consuming measurement activities for a quality organization. We have developed a high level of proficiency in interpreting complex print requirements and providing these dimensional measurement inspection results in an efficient manner.

Additional Benefits

Modern scanning inspection equipment has the added benefit of being able to compare part change over time and thereby can give an indication of tool wear. This is done by comparing original scan data to new scan data in a ‘scan to scan’ comparison color map. Since internal quality organizations are often called upon to help troubleshoot manufacturing issues, a scan-to-scan comparison can be a useful tool.

CDG Solutions is an accredited 3rd party provider of First Article Inspections. We are ISO17025 certified to provide FAI dimensional measurement inspection services. We employ a wide range of contact and non-contact metrology equipment for this purpose.

Our goal is to augment your internal capabilities and capacities. First Article Inspections demand a large number of resources to conduct and can easily bog down the throughput of your quality department. Using our service allows your quality staff to maintain their current throughput for existing production requirements while satisfying your customers’ needs to validate compliance with your product to the print.
