Nadcap recognizes EIPC one more time for its commitment to continual improvement in aerospace quality

• February 22, 2024

EIPC Research Center has renewed our Nadcap Certification in NonDestructive Testing, and this time with Merit qualification.

This certificate proves the conformity and recognition of the accreditation for Non Destructive Testing for 18 months, according to the revision in force at the time of the audit. In our case, the expiry date of the certificate is extended to November 2025.

The quality and maximum reliability of EIPC’s products require us to constantly update our quality systems with constant training and motivation of the organisation’s human team to maintain a demanding commitment to solid performance.

Following the path of excellence, EIPC Research Center received Nadcap® accreditation for demonstrating their ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry specifications.

Nadcap is an industry-managed approach to conformity assessment that brings together technical experts from both Industry and Government to establish requirements for accreditation, accredit Suppliers and define operational program requirements.

This results in a standardized approach to quality assurance and a reduction in redundant auditing throughout the aerospace industry because Prime contractors, Suppliers and Government representatives have joined forces to develop a program that:

• Establishes stringent industry consensus standards that satisfy the requirements of all participants
• Replaces routine auditing of Suppliers with one approved through a consensus decision-making process of members from the user community
• Conducts more in-depth, technically superior critical process audits
• Improves Supplier quality throughout industry through stringent requirements
• Reduces costs through improved standardization
• Utilizes technically expert auditors to assure process familiarity
• Provides more frequent audits for Primes, fewer audits for Suppliers

Jay Solomond, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the Performance Review Institute, said:

“Nadcap accreditation is globally recognized as a hallmark of quality, and is a major accomplishment. For many years, the aerospace industry has incorporated Nadcap into its approach for handling risk, as it demonstrates compliance to industry standards and customer requirements.

I am delighted, therefore, that EIPC Research Center has achieved Nadcap accreditation for NonDestructive Testing with Merit, and that all their hard work has paid off.”
