P.D. Circuits Receives Grant for Lean Process Training

FREMONT, CA — February 2010 — Datest Corp., a leading provider of advanced, efficient and quality in-circuit testing solutions, announces that it has received the official International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registration from the US Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. This registration documents Datest Corp.’s dedication to adhering to the regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List.

ITAR regulations were designed to control the information and materials of military-related technologies and ensure that military technologies are only shared with US persons unless approval from the Department of State is received via a special exemption. The registration of a company to comply with ITAR regulations allows them to work in conjunction with the US military, and expresses the company’s obligation to handle ITAR-protected products according to all regulations.

To qualify for ITAR registration, Datest met strict requirements for corporate structure, security, record keeping, and procedures for handling of sensitive military and intelligence applications.

“Companies who require ITAR registered suppliers can now look to Datest for the internal controls needed for ITAR compliance,” said Robert Boguski, President of Datest Corp.
