AS9100 Compliant Inspections in our 17025 Accredited Labs
In the fast-paced and highly competitive aerospace industry, ensuring the safety, quality, and reliability of every component and system is paramount. With this in mind, it is crucial for aerospace manufacturers and suppliers to partner with laboratories that can provide accurate and compliant inspections. At Industrial Inspection and Analysis (IIA), we take pride in being the solution to this critical need. Our laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standards and is well equipped to perform AS9100 compliant inspections. This article explores what these accreditations mean and how we can help you meet your aerospace quality requirements.
ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation: The Foundation of Trust
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. Achieving this accreditation demonstrates our commitment to technical competence, quality, and consistency in our testing and calibration activities. It assures our clients that we meet the highest standards in laboratory operations, ensuring the reliability of our results.
To maintain our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, we undergo regular assessments and audits by independent accreditation bodies. These evaluations encompass all aspects of our laboratory, from personnel qualifications and training to equipment calibration, documentation, and quality control procedures. This rigorous process ensures that we adhere to the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in our inspections.
AS9100 Compliance: Elevating Aerospace Quality
The aerospace industry has its unique quality and safety requirements. AS9100 is a set of standards developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to address these specific needs. AS9100 aligns with ISO 9001 but incorporates additional aerospace-related requirements, making it the gold standard for quality management systems in the aerospace sector.
At IIA, we recognize the significance of AS9100 compliance in the aerospace industry. That's why we've invested in the necessary training, equipment, and processes to perform inspections that adhere to these stringent requirements. Our AS9100 compliant inspections cover various aspects, including:
Materials Testing: Ensuring the integrity and performance of aerospace materials, from metals to composites.
Dimensional Inspections: Precisely measuring and verifying the dimensions of aerospace components to meet exact specifications.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Detecting defects or anomalies in critical aerospace components without causing damage.
Documentation and Traceability: Maintaining meticulous records and traceability to meet aerospace industry standards.
By choosing IIA for AS9100 compliant inspections, aerospace manufacturers and suppliers can have confidence in the quality and safety of their products. Our commitment to excellence, as demonstrated by our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and AS9100 compliance, sets us apart as a trusted partner in the aerospace industry.
