AS9100D Certification, and What Do These Certifications Mean?

Stanford Manufacturing, established in 2017, embarked on a deliberate path towards excellence in quality management from the beginning. In 2019, after rigorous preparation and dedication to refining our processes, we proudly earned our ISO9001 certification. This milestone marked our commitment to establishing a robust Quality Management System (QMS) that adhered to international standards.

Building on our ISO9001 certification, Stanford Manufacturing continued to elevate its capabilities. In 2023, we achieved AS9100D certification, marking a significant achievement in our journey. This rigorous process involved meticulous planning and implementation of specialized protocols tailored to the aerospace and defense sectors. Every facet of our operations, from documentation to internal audits, was scrutinized to ensure alignment with AS9100D's stringent requirements.

So, what does being ISO9001 and AS9100D certified mean, exactly? The ISO9001 certification is a set of five quality management systems standards that help customers know if a manufacturer meets regulatory requirements and have the proper systems in place to provide consistent and exemplary products and services. The AS9100D certification is in place specifically for the aerospace and defense sectors. By achieving AS9100D certification, a manufacturer is equipped to produce products for these industries in a safe and regulated manner.

To achieve AS9100D certification, we underwent rigorous audits and implemented specialized protocols that scrutinized every aspect of our operations. We didn’t just meet industry standards; we exceeded them.  By undergoing thorough audits and maintaining continuous improvement through surveillance audits, Stanford Manufacturing solidified its position as a trusted partner for high-performance solutions in aviation, space, and defense industries.

Today, Stanford Manufacturing stands proudly as a dual-certified company, equipped to provide superior manufacturing services across diverse sectors. Whether you're in aerospace, defense, or other industries, partnering with us guarantees access to a manufacturer with proven excellence in quality management and a steadfast dedication to exceeding expectations.
