How we verify every part

Part number, revision and firmware

We compare the part number in your request with the number on the nameplate. For boards with revision letters we also check the revision and the hardware version. Where it matters for your system, we ask for the firmware version and match it with your details.

Your system, the release and the number from your existing board help us most.

Photos of the part and the nameplate

Before shipping we ask the supplier for photos of the part and of the nameplate and compare them with your request. On request we send you the photos.

Test reports

If the supplier has a test report, we ask for it and pass it on with the quote. Not every supplier has one. We do not promise that every part has been function tested.

If you need a report, say so in your request. We then clarify beforehand whether the supplier can provide it.

Condition

Every quote states the condition per item. New surplus is unused and usually in original packaging. Refurbished parts were cleaned and repaired by the supplier. Used parts come from removal and may show signs of use.

We take the supplier’s grading and check it against the photos for obvious contradictions.

Packaging and shipping

We ask the supplier to ship the parts in ESD packaging, that is antistatic packaging. The supplier ships directly to you after payment. You get the tracking number from us if the carrier provides one.

Warranty

The warranty is stated in the quote and in our terms. The parts come from independent suppliers and not from the manufacturer, so the manufacturer warranty does not apply.

What we do not do

We run no laboratory and no warehouse of our own. We are not an authorized dealer of the manufacturers. We do not assess whether a part is suitable for a specific safety function.

Installation, validation and recurring testing are your responsibility, especially for safety systems and turbine protection.
