CDI PRODUCTS: Always Prepared for a Challenge
Achieving Class AH tightness for ISO 15848-1 is no easy feat. It demands the fortitude to create innovative designs, perform repeated in-house, customer, and third-party testing, and make changes when improvements are needed. Finding solutions that can meet this level of sealing involves thoroughly understanding the customer’ s design criteria, proper material selection, and ensuring the product is designed for a repeatable manufacturing process. Adhering to ISO specifications is a complex challenge for any company, which is why many companies choose to eschew the rigorous steps involved in achieving certification.
