Maintain the role and strength of the leading inspection facility in the industry

During 30 years of construction, development and growth (June 4, 1991 / June 4, 2021), Center for Quality Assessment (QC), Department of Standards-Measurement-Quality, General Staff , has overcome many difficulties, successfully completed the task of assessing and testing the quality of weapons and equipment (VKTB), defense products and goods in the army…
When we were at the Quality Control Center, it was also when Colonel Hoang Minh Quan, the Center’s Director, had just finished a meeting with the Electrical and Electronic Quality Control Department. He “revealed”, the content of the meeting revolved around the realization of the policy determined by the Congress for the term 2020-2025 of the central cell, which is to focus on improving the capacity of the field of compatibility testing. electromagnetic.

As if understanding our astonishment at these professional phrases, Colonel Hoang Minh Quan explained: “Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of equipment, radio equipment systems, Electricity and electronics operate normally in the electromagnetic environment and do not cause interference to other equipment and systems. However, the development of science and technology has increased the level of electromagnetic emissions into the environment, affecting the operation of equipment. Therefore, electromagnetic control in devices becomes an urgent requirement, regulated by international, regional or national standards. The commander of the Center for Quality Assessment checks and exchanges experiences in performing temperature and humidity testing tasks with the center’s officials and engineers (photo taken before April 27, 2021). The fact also shows that the control of electromagnetic compatibility for defense products is increasingly urgent. Therefore, in July 2017, the first and only MIL-STD 461 E/F military standard EMC Laboratory in Vietnam, up to now, was equipped for the Quality Assessment Center, officially. come into operation. Under the management and operation of the Electro-Electronics Quality Control Department, these systems have been tested for many types of VKTB, defense goods products with hundreds of different modules/systems of more than 50 categories, thereby performing well the following roles: Strictly and accurately managing product quality; help manufacturing units perfect products; provide suitable plans for the units in the arrangement and use of equipment. From the results achieved, the center has determined that one of the breakthrough tasks in the coming time is to propose to invest in more equipment to expand the field of EMC testing, ensuring that all testing criteria are met. military standard MIL-STD 461 E/F and cargo testing group 2 specified by specialized ministries for use in the military. With the assigned functions and tasks, over the years, the center has always performed well the task of inspecting, evaluating, assessing and testing the quality of VKTB, products and defense goods. Thereby, the origin, quantity and quality have been clearly identified, helping the units to perform well the management and exploitation work more and more effectively. In 2020, the center has inspected goods for 34 agencies and units, with 75 systems of all kinds, nearly 9,000 equipment, more than 26,000 supplies and spare parts…; also conduct EMC tests, electrical tests, radio tests, temperature tests, humidity tests, vibration shocks, metal composition analysis, tensile tests, material compression tests, non-destructive tests. In order to improve the quality of task performance, the Center for Quality Assessment always attaches great importance to the movement of promoting initiatives and technical improvements with many initiatives winning the Innovative Youth Award in the army. At the Department of Electrical and Electronic Quality Control, a typical unit in the implementation of this movement, a group of officials and engineers are holding hands on a product called “TKN-GDCL-19 watertight test equipment”. Major Nguyen Tat Nam, Head of Electrical-Electronics Quality Control Department, said: “This is the initiative that won the second prize of the Army’s Innovative Youth Award in 2020, which has the effect of testing water tightness for information equipment. for counterfeiters. The advantage of this device compared to previously equipped equipment is that all operating processes are controlled by a computer, which is convenient and gives higher accuracy. The Electro-Electronics Quality Control Department also owns an initiative that won the first prize of the Army’s Creative Youth Award in 2019 and the second prize in the National Technical Innovation Contest in 2020 which is the initiative to measure the frequency hopping speed of the army. frequency hopping radio transmitters used in the military. The initiative not only gives the same accuracy as imported equipment, but also saves billions of dong for the unit. Working at the Department of Quality Assessment of Information Technology (IT), Captain Bui Huu Quan, Technical Assistant is not only responsible for quality assessment of IT equipment, but also conducts environmental testing. From the tests of vibration, temperature, and humidity, he can detect errors early from the sockets, welds, etc., helping the manufacturer to take remedial measures and perfect the product. IT is a rapidly developing field, so the inspection object is upgraded regularly. In order to successfully complete the task, Captain Bui Huu Quan must actively update information related to his specialty, and at the same time research and develop management software to improve the quality of inspection work. Along with the development of the military, inspection products are always diverse in types, technology is increasingly modern and complex. Therefore, the Quality Assessment Center has determined to constantly strive to become the leading inspection facility in the industry, having the facilities and a team of qualified and qualified assessors to perform and complete the tasks comprehensively. assigned.
