Material Selection
The cheapest point to get a material decision right is the first one.
A material choice made at design or specification stage carries consequences for the life of the programme. A material that is later restricted, added to the SVHC Candidate List, or withdrawn by a supplier can force a costly, disruptive redesign well after the original decision has been built upon.
The Ministry of Defence landscape adds its own layer to this: Defence Standards and policies such as JSP 418 Leaflet 5 sit alongside REACH, CLP and RoHS, and a material assessment needs to account for both at once.
Screening materials before they are designed in.
We assess proposed materials against the full regulatory and policy picture, not just the rule that is easiest to check.
Decisions that hold up over the programme lifecycle.
We help you choose materials with the direction of regulatory travel in mind, not just today’s rules, so the decision still holds several years into the programme.
