Universal Stainless Achieves AS 9100 Certification at Bridgeville, Dunkirk
Jun. 11, 2009 Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc. has achieved AS 9100 certification at its primary Bridgeville facility and its Dunkirk Specialty Steel mill.
AS 9100 is a quality management system for the aerospace industry based on ISO 9001:2000 supplemented by additional requirements established by the aerospace industry to satisfy DOD, NASA and FAA quality requirements.
Development of the supplemental requirements was the result of an international effort by aerospace companies with a common goal of establishing a single quality management system for use within the aerospace industry. AS 9100 is a product of this international effort.
