U.S. Defense Standard for Processes and Procedures (MIL-STD) and Technical Requirements and Specifications (MIL-SPEC) is highly regarded worldwide. Defense standards for quality are also applied in industry. KO-AR also uses this standard as the highest possible standard with regard to quality within the surface treatment industry. The method, quality, process analysis of the baths and test methods of the KO-AR surface treatments more than meet the requirements of MIL-A-8625F (see download) which fall under the MIL-STD-171F standard. If deviations from values ​​or problems are found in measurements or produced items, the process is stopped and only resumed after the issues have been resolved.
