Quality is
Not Negotiable.
Neither Are We.

“Akbar Fasteners is committed to manufacturing precision fasteners that fully conform to customer specifications, applicable international standards, and statutory requirements.”

We achieve this through a documented ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, 100% incoming material PMI verification, rigorous in-process inspection, and NABL-accredited final testing — ensuring every fastener we ship is dimensionally correct, mechanically sound, and fully traceable from heat number to dispatch.

Our Commitments

Six Pillars of Quality

Every commitment below is backed by a documented procedure within our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, audited annually by an accredited third-party body.

Specification Compliance

Every fastener is manufactured strictly to the customer’s drawing, applicable ASTM, DIN, BS or IS standard, and any additional project specification. Deviations require written concession approval before dispatch.

Full Material Traceability

Every order is traceable from the mill certificate heat number through our production job card to the finished product. PMI (XRF) testing confirms chemical composition on 100% of exotic alloy lots.

Mechanical Testing

Tensile, proof load, hardness (Rockwell C & Brinell), and impact testing performed to ASTM A370 at NABL-accredited laboratories. Test reports accompany every critical order.

Dimensional Accuracy

Thread gauges, micrometers, CMM and optical comparators verify all critical dimensions. Thread form checked per ASME B1.13M. All gauges calibrated to traceable national standards.

Third-Party Inspection

We co-ordinate TÜV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyds, SGS or any client-nominated inspection agency. Witness inspection at our facility or nominated test lab, per project requirements.

Continual Improvement

Annual management reviews, internal audits, corrective action tracking (8D process), and customer feedback analysis drive measurable improvement in defect rates and delivery performance.

In-House & Third-Party

Testing Capabilities

Every test performed to published ASTM, ISO or BS method. Instruments calibrated to traceable national standards.

PMI — XRF Spectroscopy

Positive Material Identification on 100% of exotic alloy lots. Results vs mill cert composition.

Tensile Testing

Ultimate tensile, 0.2% proof load and elongation per ASTM A370 on calibrated universal test machine.

Hardness Testing

Rockwell C, Brinell and Vickers hardness. Correlated to tensile strength for property class verification.

Dimensional Inspection

Thread gauge, micrometre, CMM and optical comparator. Full dimensional report on request.

Impact Testing

Charpy V-notch impact per ASTM E23 for low-temperature and NACE-service fasteners.

IGC Testing

Intergranular corrosion test per ASTM A262 for sensitisation on stainless and exotic alloy lots.

Ultrasonic Testing

UT for internal defects on high-integrity studs and bolts for pressure-containing service.

Surface Finish Inspection

Visual and tactile surface finish check. Passivation, plating and coating verified per specification.

ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Our quality management system is certified by an accredited third-party certification body. Certification covers the complete scope of fastener design, manufacture, inspection and supply. Certificate available on request.

How Quality is Built In

Quality is not inspected in at the end — it is designed into every stage of our manufacturing process.

01

Supplier Qualification & Material Receipt

All raw material suppliers are pre-qualified against our Approved Vendor List. Incoming material is checked against the mill certificate, heat number, and PMI-tested before any production begins. Non-conforming material is quarantined and returned.

AVLPMIMTC Verification
02

First-Article Inspection

For new orders and first production runs, a first-article is fully dimensionally verified against the drawing before full production is released. FAI report retained on file for traceability.

FAIDrawing CheckCMM
03

In-Process Control

Statistical process control checkpoints at forging, CNC machining, thread rolling, heat treatment, and surface finishing. Non-conforming pieces are tagged and segregated. Production does not advance until each stage is signed off.

04

Mechanical & Chemical Testing

Tensile, hardness, and impact testing at NABL-accredited external laboratories for every lot requiring test certificates. IGC and UT for exotic alloys and critical pressure service applications.

Final Inspection & Documentation

100% dimensional and visual check before packing. Mill Test Certificate, Certificate of Conformance, test reports and packing list assembled. Third-party witness inspection co-ordinated if required.

Non-Conformance & Corrective Action

Any non-conformance triggers our documented 8D corrective action process. Root cause is identified, containment action implemented, and verification that the corrective action has been effective before closure.
