What is EN 9120 certification?
The EN 9120 certification is an international quality standard for the quality management of companies operating in the aerospace and defense industry. It was developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) for quality management in the aerospace industry. The EN 9120 certification sets strict quality standards to ensure the safety, reliability and quality of products and services in these industries.
The EN 9120 certification thus ensures that the company operating in these industries implements stringent quality controls and processes and adheres to strict quality standards. This helps to ensure the safety of aircraft and flight-related products and to strengthen customer confidence in the aviation industry.
Similar to all other standards in the EN 9100 family, EN 9120 is based on the principles of ISO 9001, an internationally recognized quality management system. This means that companies certified to EN 9120 automatically meet the requirements of ISO 9001.
Through EN 9120 certification, companies demonstrate not only their compliance with international quality standards, but also their ability to provide products and services that meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace and defense industry.
