Russian Helicopters' Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant receives international quality management system certification

Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, a Russian Helicopters company, (part of State Corporation Rostec) has successfully completed quality management systems certification to the international standard EN 9100:2009, and has been added to the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS) global database of aerospace industry suppliers.

The certificate was issued by Bureau Veritas Certification, the global leader in certification. The certificate testifies to the fact that all Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant's quality management systems meet the international standard EN 9100:2009, and ensure that helicopters are designed and developed to meet consumer demand and requirements.

Following the successful conclusion of the certification process, Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant was included in the OASIS international digital database of aerospace industry suppliers. This opens up opportunities to cooperate in developing and producing helicopters built to globally recognised quality standards.

'Russian Helicopters places great emphasis on improving quality, and its quality management systems are being upgraded according to plan, in line with international standards for the aerospace and defence industries,' said Russian Helicopters Deputy CEO for Production Andrey Shibitov. 'The certificate received by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant is yet another crucial step that speaks to the significant improvement in overall quality management systems throughout the company.'

In October 2013, Russian Helicopters joined the European Aerospace Quality Group (EAQG), which is part of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). In August 2014, Russian Helicopters and United Aircraft Corporation signed a joint memorandum of mutual understanding in the field of development and support for the Industry Control Other Party (ICOP) scheme in Russia.
