Why do we recommend 3rd party testing?

At Supertrades LLC, we place a high value on the quality of the Integrated Circuits (ICs) we supply to our clients. Recognizing the significance of reliable components in our operations, we have opted to engage third-party laboratories to conduct rigorous testing and verification of our ICs. This strategic choice is rooted in our belief that utilizing in-house testing facilities may present a conflict of interest. By relying on external labs, separate from the IC design process, we can uphold objectivity in the evaluation of our products. This approach minimizes the potential for bias that could arise if the same entity responsible for selling the ICs also conducted the verification tests. Third-party labs offer an impartial assessment, free from undue influence or financial motives, ensuring a thorough and unbiased evaluation of our ICs. By leveraging the expertise and independence of external labs, we can enhance the transparency and credibility of our quality assurance processes. At Supertrades LLC, we are dedicated to delivering superior components to our customers, and we firmly believe that partnering with third-party labs is integral to upholding the quality and dependability of our ICs.
