Practical guides for hardware sourcing
Compliance, space-grade parts, second sources and sovereign sourcing, written from the European side.
Each guide answers one question hardware teams ask during sourcing, from qualifying space-grade parts to keeping a defense BOM ITAR-free. Written by the Procureezy team.
How to source space-grade EEE components in Europe
ECSS, ESCC, QML and upscreened COTS: how to pick a quality level, ask for the right evidence and build a European shortlist without blowing the schedule.
Read the guide →ITAR-free sourcing: a practical guide for European teams
What ITAR covers, how it differs from the EAR, why “ITAR-free” is not “export-free”, and how to build and document an ITAR-free BOM.
Read the guide →REACH, RoHS and PFAS at BOM level
What REACH, RoHS and the proposed EU PFAS restriction ask of hardware teams, what to request from suppliers, and how to keep compliance current, line by line.
Read the guide →The second-sourcing playbook
Which BOM lines need a second source, what counts as a real alternate, how to qualify one without a redesign, and how to keep it ready.
Read the guide →How to compare datasheets without losing a week
Check the datasheet itself, separate typical from guaranteed values, bring everything to the same conditions and units, read the footnotes, and know when to ask the supplier.
Read the guide →Bring a spec sheet. Leave with the market mapped.
