Sherborne Sensors quality assurance system awarded AS9100B certification

Sherborne Sensors, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of inclinometers, accelerometers, force transducers, load cells, rotary encoders, instrumentation and accessories for industrial, military and aerospace customers, is pleased to announce that its quality assurance system has been awarded the prestigious SAE AS9100B certification for the design, development, manufacture, repair and calibration of transducers.

Quality and reliability are critical values for the aerospace industry. In an environment where failure of products or services can be fatal, the effective operation of a quality management system plays an essential role in helping to reduce risks and provides a reliable framework for organizations to supply the highest quality products and services. Prime aerospace contractors consider AS9100 a major step in the history of quality management in the aerospace field; AS9100B is the ISO9001 derivative for suppliers to the aerospace industry. AS9100B certification now provides added customer assurance that Sherborne Sensors products and business processes meet or exceed the aerospace industry's highest standards of quality, reliability and performance. To achieve this accreditation, the Sherborne Sensors Quality Assurance team has successfully completed an extensive audit of in-house practices, conducted over a period of several weeks at our corporate headquarters, as well as active participation in a series of ongoing quality review meetings.

Notes Mike Baker, Managing Director, "The team at Sherborne Sensors is proud to announce the addition of AS9100B to our existing ISO9001 quality certification. We believe that these prestigious accreditations simply reaffirm our team's unwavering commitment to our customers, and to manufacturing some of the industry's highest performance transducers, a philosophy that carries over into all facets of our daily business operations. We thank all of our valued customers for your continued support of Sherborne Sensors and our expanding lines of precision measurement instrumentation."
