When Exact Metrology bought an industrial computed tomography scanner, it opened the door to inspection services for the aerospace industry. But to fully realize its new, expanded customer base, Exact needed to enhance its quality management system to earn AS9100C (or AS9100:2009) certification.
AS9100, the standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry, builds on the foundation laid by ISO9001. It adds requirements specific to the aerospace industry’s elevated quality control needs, supplementing ISO9001 with additional requirements for product safety, configuration management and critical items, among others.
