Aurora Signage
Quality Assurance

ISO quality management.
Australian standards.

Aurora's quality framework runs end-to-end — from an ISO 9001-certified manufacturing QMS and 12-section Factory Acceptance Testing through to local assembly, calibration and Australian codes compliance. Every cabinet is traceable, tested and backed by onshore service.

Management Systems

Three ISO standards, one integrated management system.

Aurora's manufacturing operations are certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 45001 (occupational H&S) — an integrated management system that covers the full production lifecycle. Certification is held by Aurora Displays CN, the sister manufacturing facility, and the AU operation is managed to the same documented procedures.

ISO 9001

Quality Management System

Aurora's manufacturing operates under an ISO 9001-certified QMS covering the full product lifecycle — design review, in-line production QC, pre-shipment inspection, calibration, and after-sales service. The standard mandates documented procedures, measurable quality objectives and continuous improvement cycles.

ISO 14001

Environmental Management

Plant operations follow ISO 14001 environmental management controls for waste handling, energy consumption, and material sourcing — covering the full production footprint from component assembly through to packaging and dispatch.

ISO 45001

Occupational Health & Safety

Workplace health and safety systems aligned to ISO 45001 across factory and field-service teams. Aurora's OHS framework covers both the CN manufacturing facility and the AU field-service operation — the same standard applies to the crew commissioning your screen as to the production line that built it.

Factory Acceptance Testing

12 sections. 60+ pass/fail checks. Third-party witnessed.

Before any cabinet ships, it passes Aurora's Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) protocol — a structured, instrumented inspection conducted at a certified neutral third-party facility with both Aurora and customer representatives present.

FAT is not a final visual inspection — it is a technical pass/fail audit covering dimensional compliance, materials, LED tile and shader integrity, backbone and cabling, EMC behaviour at four load levels, high-speed photography, heat-room soak, IP/water-ingress, full-load performance, spare-parts reconciliation, serial numbers and regulatory marks, and a mandatory documentation handover.

The FAT completion certificate must be signed by the customer's or Aurora's nominated representative before units leave the facility. No sign-off — no dispatch.

01
DWG vs cabinet comparison

Dimensions, frame, corners, feet, door position, threads, locks, handles, bumpers — all verified against approved drawings.

02
Materials inspection

Foot and top-padding materials verified against the offered specification.

03
LED tile / module

Lamp type, driver chip, fingernail and water test on shader, sealing, connectors, fast-locks, thermal expansion gaps, PCB layers.

04
Backbone & cabling

Hub board QC, EMI filter, cable diameters, DIN rail, Wago clamps, receiver card type, network and power plug types.

05
EMC test (4 loads)

100% white, 50% animation, 10% animation, and 100% white after heat soak — against destination-country EMC limits.

06–09
Hardware test battery

High-speed photography (1/2000s @ 1000 nits), heat-room soak, IP water-ingress test, full-load performance (brightness, power, leakage, audible noise).

10–12
Spares, labels & docs

Spare-parts reconciliation, serial numbers, regulatory marks (RCM/CE/FCC/RoHS), and mandatory documentation pack (RCFGX, calibration files, manuals).

Australian Assembly Quality

Onshore quality control — beyond the factory gate.

FAT validates the screen as it leaves the factory. Aurora's Australian assembly adds a second layer of quality — calibration against local conditions, batch matching, and engineering sign-off to Australian codes — before anything reaches site.

Local assembly & calibration

Cabinets are assembled, calibrated and burn-in tested in Australia before dispatch. Each screen runs a full calibration cycle against Australian ambient conditions and actual site power — calibration data is unique to each cabinet and supplied with it.

Same-batch matching

Cabinets are matched by production batch before they leave the Australian facility. Batch mismatches are one of the most visible quality defects in the field — Aurora's onshore assembly step catches and resolves them before installation.

Australian engineering codes

Every install is structurally and electrically engineered to local codes — AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, AS 1170 wind-loading, WHS-compliant rigging — by Australian engineers. Overseas spec sheets are not retrofitted; local standards are applied from the first design drawing.

Local spares & warranty

Modules, PSUs and receiving cards are stocked in-country. Warranty replacements ship same-day from Australian stock — not air-freighted from overseas. Field service is delivered by the same AU team that commissioned the screen.

Compliance & Certification

RCM, EMC and Australian standards — built in, not bolted on.

Aurora cabinets carry the marks and documentation that Australian projects require for building consent, electrical certification and tender compliance. The compliance stack is applied at the design stage — not retrofitted from a generic overseas specification.

RCM

Regulatory Compliance Mark — electrical safety + EMC for AU/NZ market.

AS/NZS CISPR 32

EMC standard for multimedia equipment — harmonised AU/NZ equivalent of IEC/CISPR 32.

AS/NZS 3000

Wiring Rules — field installations designed to the Australian/NZ electrical wiring standard.

CE / FCC

International EMC marks carried on export-grade and dual-market builds.

RoHS

Restricted hazardous substances — modules, PSUs and cabinetry all compliant.

IP65 / IP54

Ingress protection — IP65 (outdoor GSR) and IP54 (indoor VSPEC) rated enclosures.

Common questions

Quality assurance — frequently asked.

Is Aurora Signage ISO 9001 certified?

Aurora's manufacturing operations run under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system covering design, production and after-sales service. The QMS is operated by the Aurora Displays CN facility — our sister manufacturing operation — which produces LED modules and sub-assemblies under Aurora-controlled drawings and QC protocols. The Australian operation inherits these controls and extends them with local assembly, calibration and burn-in testing.

What quality checks happen before a cabinet ships to Australia?

Every cabinet passes Aurora's 12-section Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) protocol before leaving the production facility. The protocol covers dimensional comparison against engineering drawings, materials inspection, LED tile and shader integrity (fingernail test, water test, sealing), backbone and cabling checks, EMC testing at four loads, high-speed photography for refresh and scan integrity, heat-room soak, IP/water-ingress verification, full-load performance (DCLK/GCLK, brightness, power draw, leakage current, audible noise), spare-parts reconciliation, serial-number and regulatory mark verification, and a mandatory documentation pack — RCFGX file, calibration data, DWGs and product-specific manuals. FAT is conducted at a certified neutral third-party facility with all parties present.

What does RCM compliance mean for my project?

RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) is Australia and New Zealand's combined mark for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Aurora cabinets supplied for Australian installation carry the RCM mark to AS/NZS CISPR 32 (EMC for multimedia equipment) and relevant electrical safety standards. This means your electrical contractor and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) can sign off the installation without seeking additional overseas test reports.

How are quality issues handled after installation?

Aurora holds a local spares inventory in Australia — modules, PSUs and receiving cards are stocked onshore so a replacement ships same-day, not from overseas. Warranty faults are handled by the AU team directly: the same account manager, project manager and field technician who delivered the screen are the ones who fix it. There are no offshore ticket queues and no timezone lag.

Can Aurora supply a compliance pack for a tender or specification?

Yes. Aurora can supply a project-specific compliance pack including relevant test reports, certificates, declarations of conformity and regulatory marks against the cabinet model and configuration in your specification. Contact your account manager or use the quote request form.

Need compliance documentation for your project?

We'll put together a project-specific compliance pack — test reports, certificates and declarations against the cabinet and configuration you're specifying.
