AMBLER, Pa.,
Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- MEN Micro Inc., a
world-renowned provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for demanding
industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, has completed the
rigorous EN 9100 certification process, making the company a qualified
supplier for the aviation and space industries.
The high requirements of aviation and space applications demand extremely
reliable products, which have to prove themselves over many years in rugged
industrial environments. Close cooperation with the end user from the design
phase through after-sales support over a period of ten years or longer is also
a critical factor for manufacturers in aviation and space applications.
The EN 9100 quality management system takes these requirements into
account. The specification incorporates the DIN EN ISO 9001 requirements, but
adds more than 80 items focusing specifically on the aviation and space
industries. These include the quality management requirements of aviation
authorities, the introduction of a configuration management process tailored
to the product, a first article inspection (FAI), risk assessment,
verification management and traceability or the assignment of release
authorizations.
The DQS GmbH (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Zertifizierung von
Managementsystemen, German Institute for Certification of Management Systems),
one of the most renowned certification companies of management systems
worldwide, conducted MEN Micro's certification process.
EN 9100, based on SAE AS 9100 developed in the US and published in 2001,
comprises the areas of construction, development, production, mounting and
maintenance. As an EN 9100-certified manufacturer, MEN Micro is listed in the
OASIS (Online Aerospace Supplier Information System) database.
