Approved by the Prime Contractors that matter.
Due to the critical nature of the inspections carried out using SDI's equipment, both the equipment and its operators face strict control by government and Prime Contractor approval bodies. Approval is based on the accuracy and repeatability of the system mechanics, the electrical performance of the instrumentation, and the functionality of the software.
The approval process takes several years of detailed evaluation and continual discussion with the approval bodies. Prime Contractors are intentionally reluctant to approve new vendors — without approval, the market for automated test systems is severely limited. That's exactly why SDI's existing approvals carry real, defensible weight.
