AS9100 certification for aviation, space and defense organizations demonstrates Exquadrum, Inc.’s commitment to aerospace industry expectations
VICTORVILLE, CA February 15, 2022– Exquadrum, Inc. has achieved AS9100 aerospace management systems certification from NSF-ISR, an NSF International company. Certification to AS9100, a widely adopted quality management system for the aerospace industry, ensures a framework for continual improvement and access to best practices from across the aerospace industry, while serving as a precursor for Exquadrum to qualify as a supplier in the aviation, space, and defense supply chain.
The AS9100 standard is based on ISO 9001 but encompasses additional requirements specific to the unique needs of aerospace industry prime organizations and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These manufacturers/OEMs and their global supply base often endorse or require certification as assurance that certain base principals have been implemented.
The standard also incorporates requirements of relevant industry stakeholders (e.g., product safety awareness, counterfeit controls, risk-based thinking, process validation, etc.). In addition, it is compatible with other management systems, such as ISO 14001.
Another unique feature of this standard is its focus on performance through a combination of risk-based thinking, process-defined metric performance and an approach to continual improvement, along with employment of the “plan-do-check-act” cycle at all levels in the organization.
“Receiving our AS9100 Certification is a huge milestone for Exquadrum. The process in which to receive this distinction is not easy and Exquadrum’s Quality Management System team did a phenomenal job of building this program from the ground up and making sure that we were prepared to meet all of the requirements necessary to adopt a quality management system”, said Eric Schmidt, President of Exquadrum.
Certification to AS9100 is assurance to business partners and the public of a commitment to quality and precision.
