Quality Control & Certifications

At 1000Mobility, quality is the foundation of our B2B partnerships. Our products undergo a rigorous multi-stage quality control process — from raw material inspection to pre-shipment testing — ensuring every electric wheelchair, mobility scooter, and rollator meets international safety standards. Our manufacturing facilities hold CE, FDA, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001 certifications.

Unsere Zertifizierungen

• CE Marking (European Conformity): Required for sales in the European Economic Area. Our products are CE-MDR certified.
• FDA Registration (U.S. Food and Drug Administration): Required for medical device import into the United States. Our facility is FDA-registered.
• ISO 13485 (Medical Devices Quality Management): International standard for medical device manufacturing. Our quality management system is ISO 13485 certified.
• ISO 9001 (Quality Management System): General quality management certification. Our manufacturing operations are ISO 9001 certified.

Note: We assist distributors with certification and registration support for their specific markets. Contact us to discuss your market requirements.

Multi-Stage Quality Control Process

1. Incoming Material Inspection (IQC): All raw materials — carbon fiber sheets, aluminum tubes, motors, batteries, controllers — are inspected upon arrival. Materials failing specification are rejected before entering production.
2. In-Process Quality Control (IPQC): During assembly, each workstation performs self-inspection. Quality inspectors conduct random sampling at 2-hour intervals to monitor production consistency.
3. Final Product Testing (FQC): Every finished product undergoes:
   • Function test (motor, brake, controller, folding mechanism)
   • Load test (verified weight capacity)
   • Battery performance test (charge/discharge cycle, range verification)
   • Surface finish inspection (paint, welding, assembly gaps)
4. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Before packaging, a final visual and functional check is performed. Products are randomly sampled for AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) testing per ISO 2859-1 standards.

Third-Party Testing & Verification

• Products are tested by SGS and TüV for safety and performance compliance
• Test reports available upon request for qualified buyers
• Battery testing includes UN38.3 (transport safety) and IEC 62133 (safety standard)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What certifications do your electric wheelchairs have?

A: Our products hold CE Marking, FDA Registration, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001 certifications. Specific certification documents and test reports are available upon request for verified business partners.

Q: Can you provide test reports for our market?

A: Yes, we can provide third-party test reports from SGS and TüV. For markets requiring specific registrations (FDA 510(k), CE-MDR, TGA, etc.), we provide necessary technical documentation to support your registration process.

Q: Do you have a quality management system?

A: Yes, our manufacturing follows ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management systems. Every production batch is traceable with quality records.

Q: What is your defect rate?

A: Our pre-shipment inspection ensures a defect rate below 1%. Any defective products found during inspection are reworked or replaced before shipping.

Q: How do you handle quality issues after delivery?

A: We provide 1% spare parts free with bulk orders. For quality issues within the warranty period, we provide replacement parts or solutions based on the specific situation. Our team responds within 24 hours to quality complaints.

Q: Can we conduct a factory audit?

A: Yes, we welcome factory audits from potential partners. Both on-site audits and virtual factory tours can be arranged. Contact us to schedule an audit.

Quality Control Process: 7 Inspection Stages

Our quality control system spans 7 critical inspection stages, achieving a 98.5% first-pass yield rate across all product lines:

1. Incoming Material Inspection — Carbon fiber prepreg, aviation-grade aluminum (6061-T6), and steel tubing undergo spectral analysis and tensile testing before entering production. Material rejection rate: <0.3%.
2. Welding Inspection — All frame welds inspected via visual + X-ray sampling. Weld penetration depth verified at 2.5-3.0mm for aluminum frames.
3. Frame Geometry Check — CNC-measured frame tolerances within ±0.5mm. Each frame checked against 12-point dimensional matrix.
4. Surface Finish Inspection — Powder coating thickness verified at 60-80μm. Salt spray test rated for 500+ hours (ASTM B117 standard).
5. Electrical System Testing — Motor output measured against rated specs (24V/250W typical). Battery cycle testing: 300+ charge cycles verified. Controller PCB undergoes 100% functional test.
6. Assembly Line QC — Each unit undergoes 45-minute functional test including brake response (<0.5s), folding mechanism (500+ cycle durability), and weight capacity verification (tested at 120% of rated load).
7. Pre-Shipment Final Inspection (FRI) — AQL 2.5 sampling per ISO 2859-1. Packaging drop tested per ISTA 1A protocol. Inspection report provided with every shipment.
