Overview

At Feller, quality management systems have been in place for more than three decades. The first approval received was BS5750 (in the absence of applicable ISO standards), which was granted in 1986 and was an Austrian first.

In 1989, the system was upgraded to ISO 9002 and in 2002 Feller was certified to ISO 9001: 2000. Currently all manufacturing locations are operating in accordance with the guidelines of ISO 9001:2015. 2017, the standard SA 8000:2014 was implemented into the management system.

The Integrated Management System is audited at regular intervals by several international certification bodies (TÜV Austria, Intertek, SII, SABS, CCC, TÜV Rheinland, etc.). Additionally factory inspections (UL, CSA, VDE, ÖVE, etc.) are regularly carried out.

Product approvals have been granted by the certification bodies in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, South Africa, India, USA, Canada, Israel, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, China, South Korea, Indonesia, India, Taiwan, etc.

Amongst others, Feller received quality awards from IBM, XEROX, HP, Fujitsu, BSH, MIELE and CELESTICA (TCOO).

In 1993, Feller defined its first Environmental Policy Statement, which is now part of our Integrated Management System.

R&D and In House Tool making

Feller´s in-house tool-and-die shop is equipped with state-of-the art machinery, including CNC spark-erosion machines. Several toolmakers are employed in a 2-shift operation. Mold-tools, extrusion-dies, crimp-tools, and sub-assembly systems are customized and build in house. Some 100+ different mold-tools for national plug configurations, another 100+ mold-tools for connectors, plus 100+ special and customized mold-tools are constantly maintained, updated, and being built for Feller´s 4 manufacturing plants. Component-, product-, tool-, and system-design is carried out in the R&D department with a 3 D-CAD-system. CAD-data are routinely exchanged with customers and suppliers.

Testing

The bulk cables are fully tested using online diameter and high voltage conrtrols. 

Our cord sets and power supply cords are also fully tested for short and open circuits as well as any defects. Additionally a high voltage test for potential flashover between all conductors and the outer contour of plugs and connectors is also performed to full extent.
Defective cables are reliably cut and disregarded within the process.
