Sherborne Sensors achieves AS9100C certification for precision Inclinometers, Accelerometers and Force Transducers
QMS compliance and two-year product warranty positions Sherborne Sensors as a supplier of choice for the defense and commercial aerospace industry
Wyckoff, NJ, September 5, 2012– Sherborne Sensors, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of sensors for military, aerospace and industrial applications, has successfully completed AS9100 Rev C certification, the internationally recognized quality management system for commercial aviation, space and defense organizations. The AS9100 standard includes the fundamental ISO9001 quality management standard, as well as nearly 100 additional requirements specifically designed to address the stringent, complex and unique demands of the defense and commercial aerospace industry and has recently been completely revised to Rev C.
“The defense and commercial aerospace sectors are highly-regulated, so to be considered seriously as a supplier in this market it is critical that we are able to demonstrate compliance with Quality Management Systems such as AS9100C,” says Mike Baker, managing director, Sherborne Sensors. “We were already qualified to the earlier Rev B version; AS9100C continues to provide independent validation of our total commitment to delivering products and services of the highest possible quality and meeting our customers’ most demanding requirements for reliability.”
To successfully achieve certification, Sherborne Sensors had to demonstrate a consistent level of quality across all of its operations and satisfy auditors of its ability to provide products that meet the stringent and challenging customer, statutory and regulatory requirements unique to the aviation, space and defense industries – including on-time delivery.
“Our customers have extremely high expectations for quality and reliability,” continues Baker. “We believe that our AS9100C certification coupled with our industry beating two-year warranty and guaranteed on-time delivery really sets us apart from our competitors and positions us as a preferred supplier of choice.”
Sherborne Sensors can customize all of its sensor range and manufacture to comply with specific customer requirements within its AS9100C Quality Management System. In addition, all Sherborne Sensors products come with an industry exclusive two‐year comprehensive warranty and Guaranteed On‐Time Delivery program, and are meticulously tested and calibrated to international standards prior to shipment.
The AS9100C standard was developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), an industry organization focused on achieving significant performance improvements in quality, delivery and cost throughout the aviation, space and defense industries. Agencies and organizations endorsing AS9100 include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
