Ceramitell operates a ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, with additional sector-specific certifications for automotive (IATF 16949), CE (EU markets), UL (US/Canada), and RoHS/REACH (EU chemical compliance). Every production lot ships with a lot-specific certificate of conformity — dimensional inspection, material properties, and electrical/thermal characterization where applicable.
Below is the scope of each active certification — what it covers, where it's required, and when customers should ask for it. Most customers need ISO 9001 + one sector-specific cert; very few need all five.
| Certification | Unit | Scope | Required For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001:2015 | QMS | Full factory QMS | Most B2B customers |
| IATF 16949 | Automotive | Tier 1/2 automotive supply | Glow plugs · auto igniters |
| CE Marking | EU | Hot surface igniters, heaters | EU appliance OEMs |
| UL Recognition (E327654) | N. America | Component recognition for igniters | US/Canada HVAC/BBQ |
| RoHS | EU Substance | Lead, cadmium, mercury limits | EU electronics customers |
| REACH | EU Chemical | Substance registration | EU chemical customers |
| ISO 13356 (on request) | Medical | Y-TZP-A dental/orthopedic | Medical device OEMs |
| FDA Compatibility | Food | Y-TZP for food contact | Food processing customers |
Every production lot ships with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) — the specifics depend on product type. Below are the standard CoC contents we ship for each major product family.
UL Recognition E327654 + CE marking + electrical resistance per unit (cold resistance, insulation resistance) + dimensional inspection + cycle life qualification report for the lot.
ABMA grade verification + roundness per ball + dimensional inspection (diameter, sphericity) + density verification + surface finish Ra measurement. Statistical sampling per ABMA protocol.
Dimensional inspection per drawing + material grade verification + surface finish + tolerance compliance. Statistical sampling for production lots; 100% inspection for prototype lots.
Particle size distribution (laser diffraction D10/D50/D90) + BET surface area + chemical purity (XRF) + phase analysis (XRD) + bulk and tap density + lot traceability.
Purity certification + particle count (per cm² at 0.3 μm) + dimensional + surface finish + electrical/thermal characterization where applicable. Optional third-party SGS/TÜV/Intertek certification.
ISO 13356 biocompatibility + Y-TZP-A grade verification + dimensional + chemical purity + dental block density. Biocompatibility test reports (cytotoxicity, sensitization) available on request.
ISO 9001 is the framework — but what actually matters is how we operate it day-to-day. Below is the inspection and quality work that happens between when raw material enters the factory and when the finished lot ships.
Our Italian pellet stove OEM partner has received 7 years of BLK igniter supply (180,000 units/year) with zero recall events and complete lot traceability for every shipment. Field failure rate stays below 0.3% per year — meeting their UL Recognition spec. Quality complaints, when they occur, are investigated with full root-cause analysis returned within 5 business days. This is the operational expression of the ISO 9001 + IATF 16949 + UL Recognition certification stack — not the paper, but the everyday work behind it.
