In addition to TCI's continuing ISO 9001:2000 certification, the AS 9100B:2004 certifies that TCI meets requirements specific to the aerospace community. This ensures that TCI's comprehensive quality system focuses on areas directly impacting product safety and reliability in the aerospace industry.
"AS 9100B:2004 certification distinguishes TCI Precision Metals' quality management, processes and product control as meeting one of the highest standards in the aerospace community," said John Belzer, President, TCI Precision Metals. "The value to all of our customers includes documented quality management and manufacturing processes that ensure repeatable quality from part to part."
"The key aspects of AS9100B:2004 include safety, airworthiness, product conformity and reliability," said a TCI spokesperson.
