We are now in the final stages of becoming the first Australian organisation accredited to certify businesses in the aviation, space and defence sector. Organisations in this sector are held to the highest quality standards and we are proud to soon be able to contribute to Australia's sovereign defence capabilities.
As we near the final stages of our Accreditation program with ANAB to become the first Australian Company to be able to offer accredited certification to the Aerospace, Space and Defence Standards (AS9100 for manufacturers, AS9110 for repair and overhaul and AS9120 for distributors), ANAB have now confirmed successful completion of all the process and document review stages.
ANAB Assessors also conducted the office audits and witness audits at client sites to see our systems in operation to certify companies to the new standards.
TQCSI Program Director Sean Moules commented: 'It's taken a lot of hard work to ensure we are fully equipped to audit to these very rigorous standards, as while they build directly on the foundations of ISO 9001 for Quality, they include nearly 150 additions to meet the exacting standards of safety critical industries. We and our customers take our responsibilities in this area very seriously, and I hope its reassuring to know that we and our Auditors also get regularly audited to ensure we fully meet the requirements for every accredited standard we provide to our clients.'
TQCSI President and Managing Director, Craig Bates said, 'We are very pleased to see this major investment in developing the first sovereign capability in Australia to provide accredited certification to the aerospace, space and defence industry coming to fruition, and very proud that TQCSI, as the largest JAS-ANZ accredited certification body in Australia, is at the forefront of supporting companies across Australia in gaining and maintaining the best standards in the world.'
