Production Controls
Drawing, first-article, dimensional, visual, hardness, cure and packaging controls are defined around the approved product.

Quality, Documentation
& Traceability
SILCAP manages production quality through documented manufacturing controls, material-to-shipment traceability and project-specific evidence review. Current management-system certificates and selected raw-material test evidence are reviewed according to application and customer requirements; finished-product applicability is qualified separately where required.

QUALITY ARCHITECTURE
Three integrated layers. One controlled project scope.
Quality is organised around how the product is defined, how production is recorded and what evidence is relevant to the intended application.
02
Traceability Records
Material, production, inspection, packaging and shipment references create a traceable record chain for repeat-order continuity.
Review traceability →03
Evidence & Qualification
Management-system documents and selected raw-material test evidence are reviewed against project, application and regulatory scope.
Review evidence →PRODUCTION QUALITY
Controls defined around the approved product.
Inspection requirements are defined according to the approved drawing, first-article sample, material, production route, application and agreed quality plan.
01 / 06
Drawing & First-Article Review
Approved drawings, profile sections, samples and agreed inspection points form the basis of production review.
Dimensional Checks
Critical dimensions are checked according to the agreed drawing, profile section and project requirements.
Visual Inspection
Surface condition, colour, trimming, flash, profile appearance and visible defects are reviewed against the approved scope.
Hardness Review
Hardness (Shore A) verification is performed according to project requirements.
Cure & Post-Cure Review
Cure and post-curing requirements are reviewed according to material, product design, application and documentation scope.
Packaging & Labelling Control
Packaging, quantity, barcode, labelling and customer-specific presentation requirements are reviewed where applicable.
TRACEABILITY
From material receipt to shipment reference.
Traceability scope is defined according to the product, project requirements and agreed production documentation.
- 01
Material Identification
Material type, lot information and approved project requirements are associated with the production order according to the agreed scope.
- 02
Production Records
Production route, order details and relevant process records are maintained according to the project.
- 03
Inspection Records
Dimensional, visual, hardness and other agreed inspection results are recorded according to project requirements.
- 04
Packaging Records
Packaging quantity, labelling, barcode and customer-specific packing requirements are reviewed and recorded where applicable.
- 05
Shipment Reference
Production, packaging and shipment references support repeat-order follow-up according to the agreed scope.
Records are maintained in accordance with the project, customer requirements and agreed retention period.
MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM EVIDENCE
Current certificates, clearly separated from guidance frameworks.
SILCAP holds current third-party certificates for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Guidance-based frameworks are shown separately so system evidence is not confused with product certification.

NOT PRESENTED AS CERTIFICATION
Guidance for customer satisfaction and complaints handling.
Risk-management guidance supporting structured risk review.
Certificate copies and supporting management documents are controlled separately and can be reviewed with customers where relevant. Public document links are added only where disclosure is approved.
CONTROLLED EVIDENCE LIBRARY
Evidence library by document family.
Selected third-party reports can be reviewed as part of project qualification. They relate to tested raw materials or material samples and do not by themselves certify every finished SILCAP product.

i
Evidence boundary. Raw-material reports establish a documentation basis for selected material systems. Finished-product testing and final documentation remain dependent on material, design, colour, process, application, intended use, target market and customer regulatory requirements.
FOOD-CONTACT DOCUMENTATION
From raw-material evidence to project-specific applicability.
Available raw-material reports include testing to US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, LFGB-related scopes and GB 4806.16-2025 for selected silicone material systems.
- 01
Raw-Material Evidence
Document basis for selected silicone material systems.
- 02
Finished-Product Applicability
Evaluated against intended use, product design, colour, process and target market.
- 03
Additional Testing if Needed
Migration, sensory or other testing when required by project or regulation.
The listed reports relate to tested raw materials or material samples. They should not be read as blanket certification of all SILCAP finished products.
DOCUMENT REQUEST WORKFLOW
How documentation scope is confirmed.
The evidence package is confirmed against the actual product and application rather than assumed from a generic material declaration.
- STEP 01
Product & Application Review
Product type, material, colour, application and target market are reviewed.
- STEP 02
Available Document Review
Relevant current raw-material reports and material declarations are identified; any product-specific evidence is confirmed separately where available.
- STEP 03
Testing-Gap Review
Any missing or product-specific testing requirement is clarified before sampling or production where applicable.
- STEP 04
Confirmed Project Scope
The agreed document, testing and inspection scope is recorded with the project requirements.
QUALITY FAQ
Questions that define the evidence scope.
How are inspection requirements defined?
Inspection requirements are confirmed according to the drawing, sample, profile section, application and agreed quality plan.
How is food-contact documentation reviewed?
Available FDA/LFGB raw-material reports and any required finished-product testing are reviewed according to material, product design, colour, process, application and target market.
What is the difference between a raw-material report and product-specific testing?
A raw-material report relates to a tested silicone material or material sample. Product-specific testing evaluates the final product or a selected product configuration and may be required depending on design, colour, process, application and regulatory scope.
Can REACH and RoHS documentation be reviewed?
Available raw-material REACH, RoHS and substance-specific reports can be reviewed according to the selected material system and project scope.
Can inspection and documentation requirements be defined before sampling?
Yes. Drawing, material, inspection, testing and documentation expectations can be reviewed before sampling so the agreed project scope is clear.
