FQA Compliant - Certification & Traceability
Sems and Specials strives for transparency and aims to reassure it's customers through it's quality programs - customers can rest assured that our quality is tried, tested and can be relied upon, no matter the application. As such, Sems and Specials ensures it is fully compliant with the Fastener Quality Act (FQA). The enactment of the Fastener Quality Act (FQA) was the result of a number of high-profile fastener failures in the 1980s, a subsequent investigation found shortcomings in industry standards, quality control and safety inspection. The FQA was enacted to protect public safety by:
- Requiring fasteners sold in commerce conform to the specifications to which they are represented to be manufactured
- Providing for accreditation of laboratories engaged in fastener testing
- Requiring inspection, testing and certification in accordance with standardized methods.
