Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) has been accredited by two accreditation bodies to certify the latest quality-management standards specific to the aerospace industry.

LRQA is the first certification body in Europe to have been recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)
to provide accredited certification against the upgraded version of the AS9100 series standards. And in the Americas, LRQA Inc is one of the first organizations to achieve an accreditation to the revised standards, awarded by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The accreditation allow LRQA to support companies looking to ensure consistent quality of the products within their supply chains and promote a safer aerospace industry.

“Increasingly, companies from a wide range of sectors need to adapt to changing business models, increased globalisation of their supply chains and evolving statutory and regulatory requirements. They need assurance that their management systems fully address their need to maximise quality and customer satisfaction, while
keeping their costs at a minimum,” says Andrew Smith, President, LRQA, Inc. “This accreditation demonstrates our competencies and capabilities in AS9100 and AS9120, as well as our ability to help our clients to ensure the quality of their products, processes and services.”
