Datest Receives Its 16th AS9100D Recertification Audit
June 3, 2025 | DatestEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Datest, a trusted leader in advanced testing, engineering, inspection, and failure analysis services, proudly announces sixteen straight years of aerospace-grade perfection. Cue the confetti cannons (ESD-safe, of course). If quality were a sport, they would be undefeated.
Datest continues to meet the rigorous standards of the aerospace, defense, and space sectors with precision, professionalism, and a pinch of panache. “We’re thrilled, but not surprised,” said Robert Boguski, President of Datest. “Passing an AS9100D audit is like landing a rocket on a postage stamp — it takes precision, dedication, and an unhealthy obsession with process control. Fortunately, we’ve got all three.”
AS9100D isn’t your average checklist — it’s the quality standard for anyone wanting to play in the high-stakes worlds of aerospace, space, and defense. It builds on ISO 9001 by adding layers of risk management, configuration control, and something ominously referred to as “human factors.”
But at Datest, quality isn’t just paperwork — it’s personal. For over 40 years, we’ve delivered mission-critical testing, engineering, inspection, and failure analysis services that keep our customers flying high and grounded in certainty.
So what’s next? “Same thing we do every year,” said Boguski, “fix customer failures, analyze the unexplainable, and drink way too much celebratory coffee.” Here’s to 16 years of bulletproof quality management. And yes, they’re already preparing for year 17.
