November 3, 2023 | U.S. CircuitEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
U.S. Circuit, a premier supplier of commercial and mil/aero PCBs, has recently obtained their AS9100 certification.
AS9100 certification expands on the ISO9001 quality standards and adds additional regulatory requirements and notations pertaining specifically to aerospace quality needs. AS9100 is backed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG).
This certification will allow U.S. Circuit to further expand their military and aerospace offerings to further serve sectors requiring stricter regulation including the Department of Defense (DoD), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Harry Patel, CEO of U.S. Circuit, stated, “We are proud to have received this important certification. I applaud the team’s dedication to improving our process across the board, enhancing the service of our military and aerospace customers. This certification will give them added confidence in our ability to deliver the highest quality printed circuit boards possible.”
