DEKRA is now Accredited to AS 9120 by ANAB.
North Wales, PA (PRWEB) October 31, 2016 -- DEKRA Certification, Inc. has achieved AS 9120 "Quality Management Systems - Aerospace Requirements for Stockist Distributors" accreditation from ANAB.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer accredited certification to the AS 9120 standard. This standard puts quality at the forefront for distributors and resellers in the aerospace industry, through counterfeit prevention, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced operating costs,” said Kris Norlander, Regional Aerospace Competency Manager for DEKRA Certification, Inc.
AS 9120 is a standard offered by fewer than 60 certification bodies worldwide. This is a specialized standard that incorporates elements of ISO 9001 quality management system certification along with the specific needs of the aerospace industry, including supply chain traceability and counterfeit part detection.
"My experience was largely in the stockist and distributor sector," said Mr. Norlander, who was previously Quality Manager for Arrow Electronics, Inc., a worldwide supply channel partner for over 100,000 original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers and commercial customers. "That's why I recognize the enormous value this quality certification presents for the aerospace industry. Over 600 suppliers are currently AS 9120 certified in the U.S., and we believe that this will continue to grow."
