Testing and Screening

STE International partners with several independent test labs which allow us to offer a broad spectrum of value added testing services.  Our value added testing and screening capabilities are frequently used to ensure only quality tested products are distributed.  Common uses include:
  • Obsolescence of mil spec devices
  • Customer drawing requirements specify selected parameters
  • Re-screening requirements
  • Concern over influx of counterfeit parts from China
