FALAB Laboratory, in accordance with the government's policy of standardizing the after-market of automobiles and the urgent needs of society, has launched QAPA (Quality Assurance Parts Authentication) for the quality certification of automotive parts and components, i.e. automotive homogeneous parts certification.
Definition of homogeneous parts
"Homogeneous fittings" means that the quality of the fittings must match the standard of the original factory's fittings. The quality of the fittings must be equal to or higher than that of the original factory's in terms of material, structure, manufacturing and functional standards. At the same time, the quality of the fittings should meet the relevant requirements of Chinese laws and regulations.

| Serial number | Test item | objective |
|---|
| 1 | Safety detection | All certified products must pass the test required by national laws and regulations to ensure the safety of products. |
| 2 | Material testing | The composition, mechanical properties, metallographic structure analysis, coating thickness, thermal properties, dimensional stability and restricted substances of the material were tested. |
| 3 | reliability | Reliability Evaluation under Physical Environment, Cold and Heat Shock, Mechanical Shock and Vibration |
| 4 | Packaging and transportation | Test the ability of product packaging to protect products from damage in transportation environment |
| 5 | Performance and fatigue testing | Determine its performance and durability to meet standard requirements |
| 6 | Car testing | The product can be installed smoothly on the whole vehicle, and the appearance is the same as that of the original parts after assembly. |
Information sharing
Kabba certification is not only a simple test certification, it enables the whole society to care about and monitor the quality of spare parts in the automotive aftermarket through multi-latitude information sharing, thus forming a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional integrity system.
| Serial number | Information providing channels | Purpose |

| 3 | Information shared library | According to the different needs of insurance companies, suppliers, sellers and consumers, separate information sharing libraries are set up to meet the needs of customers. |
| 4 | Standard Seminar | Annual seminars on standards for automotive homogeneous parts are organized to ensure consistency in understanding standards. |
| 5 | Kabba Certification Information | For insurance companies and customers with identical parts certification, regularly send kappa certification information |
Marketing monitoring
In order to ensure that the quality of automobile parts suppliers is stable, the company will conduct two factory inspections of suppliers every year to determine the operation of suppliers'quality system and the ability to produce qualified products. In addition, the company will sample the products in the market every year and publish the sampling data.
Social benefits
Kabbah certification produces the following social benefits:
