The international Quality Management System standard 9100 (AS9100 in the US and JISQ 9100 in Japan) is specific to the aerospace industry and enjoys the adherence and support of all major international manufacturers worldwide. Aerospace is one of Harwin's core markets, and the company's portfolio of high-reliability connectors addresses a wide range of applications, including avionics, radar systems, aircraft interiors and communications, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles. Harwin's interconnects are also incorporated into large-scale projects with space agencies and satellite manufacturers.
The EN 9100 certification, which focuses on quality, safety, and technology throughout the supply chain, is recognized by the aviation industry and guarantees continuous improvement. Following its ISO 9001:2008 quality management certification,
Harwin's implementation of EN 9100 demonstrates to aerospace customers that additional best-practice methodologies are applied throughout the organization. Processes are focused on the consistent delivery of products that meet the highest safety and quality standards, as is expected in industries where there is no room for error.
“We have a strong presence in the aerospace market, and our high-reliability, high-performance connector ranges are designed to withstand extreme levels of temperature, vibration, and shock, and have been tested in numerous programs to date,” commented Andrew McQuilken, Technical Director at Harwin. “The EN 9100 certification not only underscores our commitment to the aerospace supply chain and provides customers with significantly greater confidence in the integrity of our products, but it also helps us to continue improving our internal business practices, which will ultimately benefit all our customers.”.
