LRQA aerospace industry accreditation first

24/01/2011

One of the first certification bodies to offer the revised certifications

We are one of the first certification bodies to offer the revised quality management systems certifications for the aviation, space and defence industries

“Increasingly, companies from a wide range of sectors are having to adapt to changing business models, increased globalisation of their supply chains and evolving statutory and regulatory requirements. They need assurance that their management systems fully address their need to maximise quality and customer satisfaction, while keeping their costs at a minimum,” says Andrew Smith, President, LRQA, Inc. “This accreditation demonstrates our competencies and capabilities in AS9100 and AS9120, as well as our ability to help our clients to ensure the quality of their products, processes and services.”

Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) has been accredited to certify the latest quality-management standards specific to the aerospace industry, one of the first organisations to achieve this since the publication of the revised 'AS' family of standards in 2009.

The accreditation, awarded by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), allows LRQA to support companies looking to ensure consistent quality of the products within their supply chains and promote a safer aerospace industry.
