Precision. Performance. Peace of Mind.
At NACA Pickleball Company, quality isn’t just a promise — it’s built into every stage of production. From raw materials to final packaging, we follow a strict quality control protocol backed by international certifications and rigorous in-house testing.
We understand that our clients — especially OEM/ODM partners — depend on consistency, reliability, and regulatory compliance. That’s why quality is not optional. It’s our foundation.
① International Certifications
To ensure compliance with global market standards, we offer or assist with the following certifications:
-
USAPA Approval (USA Pickleball Association)
✅ We support paddle design and specs that meet USAPA rules
✅ Test assistance for tournament-legal paddles
✅ Ideal for brands targeting the U.S. competitive market -
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
✅ Complies with EU environmental standards
✅ Ensures no harmful heavy metals or restricted materials
✅ Applicable to grips, paints, adhesives, and packaging -
REACH Compliance (EU)
✅ Regulates chemicals used in manufacturing
✅ Important for importers/distributors in the EU -
SGS / Intertek Test Reports (on request)
✅ Available for material strength, adhesion, or toxicity testing
✅ 3rd-party independent verification upon customer request
If you have specific market requirements (e.g., CA Prop 65, CE, etc.), we can accommodate those in custom batches.
② Our Quality Control Workflow
We maintain a 5-stage QC system to ensure every paddle and accessory meets client expectations.
1. Raw Material Inspection
✔️ Carbon fiber, fiberglass, core material checked for thickness, elasticity, and consistency
✔️ Random batch sampling and material certificates recorded
2. In-Process Checks
✔️ During lamination, pressing, and cutting
✔️ Includes alignment, surface bonding, core integrity
✔️ Recorded by production team for traceability
3. Functionality & Bounce Test
✔️ Every paddle undergoes bounce test to ensure proper deflection
✔️ Edge and center impact tests to check strength and response
4. Final Inspection
✔️ Visual inspection for scratches, print quality, logo accuracy
✔️ Handle tightness, grip comfort, weight accuracy (±0.1 oz tolerance)
✔️ 100% final batch check before packaging
5. Pre-Shipment QC + Optional 3rd-Party QC
✔️ We offer video inspections for international clients
✔️ Support 3rd-party QC booking (e.g., SGS, BV, Intertek)
✔️ Detailed report available upon request
③ Paddle Testing Standards
We align with key international benchmarks for paddle manufacturing:
-
Paddle deflection rebound limits
-
Core adhesion strength (peel test)
-
Durability after 10,000 simulated hits
-
Paint & print wear resistance
-
Grip anti-slip performance (sweat simulation)
All custom molds and designs are tested for shape retention and bonding stability.
④ Our Promise: Reliable Every Time
We understand that consistency matters — especially for large wholesale or brand partnerships. That’s why at NACA:
-
All production is traceable by batch & time
-
We provide production samples before mass order
-
Clients are welcome to send QC checklist or custom inspection steps
Let our experience in export-grade quality management be your peace of mind.
