Aerospace quality accreditation for Hirschmann

“This is a very important development for Hirschmann," said Colin Hayter, managing director of Denbigh-based Hirschmann Engineering (UK). "Obviously it means that we are now able to supply any aerospace company. Much more importantly, it is recognition by an independent and international endorsement authority that Hirschmann delivers excellence in all respects of its business – R&D, design, production, quality control, customer service and support. We have worked hard to achieve this accreditation, and are pleased to have received it”. EN9100 is the equivalent of AS9100 and JISQ9100, and is one of the most stringent accreditations. It has been developed by the international Aerospace Quality Group to address specifically the additional expectations of the aerospace industry and has been accepted by the industry in Europe, America and Japan as the standard for suppliers. Aligned to many of the existing aerospace quality requirements, it is the first global aerospace standard that meets the demands of both civil and military aviation and aerospace companies world wide. It incorporates both the design and non-design responsibilities of suppliers to the aerospace industry and reflects a company’s ability to maintain the highest standards of quality control throughout all aspects of its business.
