(LRQA: London) -- Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance Inc. (LRQA) has been accredited to certify the latest quality management standards specific to the aerospace industry, one of the first organizations to achieve this since the publication of the revised AS family of standards in 2009.

The accreditation, awarded by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), allows 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 are having to adapt to changing business models, increased globalization of their supply chains, and evolving statutory and regulatory requirements,” says Andrew Smith president of LRQA. “They need assurance that their management systems fully address their need to maximize quality and customer satisfaction, while keeping their costs at a minimum. This accreditation demonstrates our competencies and capabilities in AS9100 and AS9120, as well as our ability to help our clients ensure the quality of their products, processes, and services.”
