Philosophy
Material is developed under defined review. Characterization precedes offering capability. Qualification is treated as a programme. Documentation exists to make the work reviewable inside VSGH — not to decorate this website.
[ About ] · quality
Control first. Certificates later, if authorized.
Quality at VSGH is a way of developing and evidencing material — not a list of standard numbers on a homepage. This page does not claim ISO, AS, EN, NADCAP, or any other certification status.
What is not claimed
No accreditation list, no registrar names, no implied compliance. If a certification is later approved for public disclosure, it will be stated explicitly on an authorized page.
Principles
Controlled processes
Work follows defined sequences. This site does not publish those sequences.
Traceability
Identity of material and of measurements is treated as essential, not optional.
Characterization
Measure behaviour before describing it as capability.
Verification and validation
Check that work was done as intended, and that it is fit for the intended question.
Qualification
Fitness for a use class is earned through evidence, not through layout.
Improvement
Findings feed the next cycle of development. Metrics of that cycle are not invented for this page.
Capability needs a place to be developed.
Facilities describes laboratory and development categories without inventories or addresses.
