Umeco Process Materials Ltd. achieves upgrade accreditation to AS9100 revision C Aerospace Certification Standard

On 28th June 2012 Umeco Process Materials successfully completed the transition audit from AS9100:2003 revision B to revision C, Aerospace Quality Standard. Although both are based on the existing ISO9001:2008, there are several more challenges in the rev C system, including an adherence to the 'process approach', project management and continuous monitoring, measurement and, above all, improvement.

Achieving the accreditation to the AS9100 rev C standard assures Umeco's aviation, space and defence customers that our quality system serves to improve both product and service quality, as well as on time delivery along the same lines as those used in the automotive industry TS16949 standard.

Umeco's certification to AS9100 rev C includes all clauses of the standard, including 7.3.1 to 7.3.7 (design), meaning that Umeco can offer the full range of bespoke, value added services to the aerospace sector, such as kitted vacuum consumables and reusable vacuum bags.
