Quality Control

Unrelenting Quest for Quality to Build a Solid Foundation of Trust.

Quality Evaluation System Built to Deliver Reliability in Severe Automotive Environments

Clarion in-vehicle products need to deliver stable and reliable performance in a wide variety of climates and environments around the world, from the tropics to the polar regions, and from the desert to the rain forest. Clarion, as a best partner of the customers, maintains a stringent system of quality control, so that it can continue to deliver assured quality in own brand aftermarket products and in those for OEM customers.
 
In the processes of designing using 3-dimensional CAD, various analyses of optics for the illumination, heat within the device, strength of components and tolerance assure perfect designing quality. Simulation tools are employed for ease of assembly in order to further improve the product quality.
 
Clarion products reach the hands of our customers only after grueling tests and uncompromising quality evaluations have been repeatedly applied.
