MilesTek Production, Operational and Distribution systems meet internationally recognized quality standards under the AS 9100 certification.

Denton, TX -- (SBWire) -- 12/24/2010 -- MilesTek's Quality Management System announces its certification to the requirements of AS 9100. The certificate number is US -2856C.

"Perhaps no other industry is as safety-conscious as the Aerospace Industry http://www.milestek.com/s-145-mil-std-1553b.aspx. In order to protect their interests, many large aerospace manufacturers are requiring their suppliers to certify to AS 9100 requirements. Certifying to AS 9100 is a means of demonstrating our manufacturing and service delivery systems comply with the rigorous requirements of this standard. It means the outputs of these systems are more reliable because of the checks within the system," stated Dave McCarthy, President of MilesTek.

The AS 9100 is the internationally recognized quality system standard specific to the aerospace industry. The standard is strongly supported and adhered to by major aerospace manufacturers, and they are demanding critical suppliers meet its requirements.

The AS 9100 is based on the latest version of the ISO 9001 standard and it includes additional requirements that participating aerospace companies felt were necessary to clearly define their expectations for aerospace suppliers.

"These supplementary requirements emphasize areas that impact process and service safety, quality and reliability for aerospace products," added McCarthy.

The AS 9100 is designed to meet the complex and unique demands of the aerospace industry from commercial aviation to defense and includes additional requirements.

The key benefits are:

- Confirmation that the MilesTek Production, Operational and Distribution systems meet internationally recognized quality standards.

- Fulfillment of mandatory requests from players such a Boeing, GE, Airbus, and Snecma.

- Confidence conferred on by your customers who trust the independent third party audit, often eliminating the need to second party audits.

- Certification is verifiable in the OASIS database http://www.sae.org/iaqg/ to ensure MilesTek Corp is continuing to maintain the requirements of AS 9100. OASIS is short for (Online Aerospace Information System) database.
