Research & Development (core products)

Development of our branded core products commences with the long-term gathering of market intelligence to assist in the planning of future generations of product. Specific product requirements are formulated in Australia from the sifted data. Combining market feedback from Australia and other countries, our design team creates export-quality product families for the world market. Final product design evaluation is completed in Australia to meet local market and technical requirements along with all regulatory obligations to the Australian Communications Authority.

Quality Control Policy (core products)

In our production facility a 300% inspection testing scheme, including final post production sampling inspections in accordance with military standard MIL-STD-105 result in every telephone being tested 3 times before packing.  In practice, this high-level attention to manufacturing quality has resulted in a well-established “out-of-box” failure rate of less than 1%!

Environmental Practices (core products)

Interquartz is committed to the reduction of waste products and hazardous wastes. Ozone-depleting chemicals are not used, and no greenhouse gases are produced. Our product packaging consists of plain (unprinted) cartons and boxes, and recyclable plastic bags. The telephone products are constructed with recyclable ABS resin plastic casings, and electronic assemblies from which the heavy metals can largely be recovered with suitable processes.
