AS-9100 D recertification
March 2025 – Mersen / KTK Thermal Technologies is proud to announce that it has received its AS-9100 D recertification.
KTK Thermal Technologies recently received its recertification of the AS-9100 D standard, verifying its commitment and adherence to quality product production processes. The AS-9100 D standard provides suppliers with requirements for creating and maintaining a comprehensive quality system for providing safe and reliable products to the aviation, space, and defense (AS&D) industry, as well as civil and commercial aviation requirements.
To maintain certification, KTK Thermal Technologies had to demonstrate to a third-party auditor that it meets the rigorous requirements of the standard. The external auditor inspects the facility site and completes a thorough review. Audits are valid for three year periods; however, the auditor conducts a less in-depth audit every year as well. KTK Thermal Technologies’ AS-9100 D certification validates their adherence to ISO 9001:2015 standards, as well as Aerospace qualification standards, and provides certification until April 2028, when the renewal process will begin again. The certification is recognized globally as a leading industry standard.
AS-9100 is not a product standard that defines product quality or a personnel standard; rather, it requires organizations to control their processes to design and manufacture products that meet customer requirements. This certification brings benefits not only to KTK Thermal Technologies’ AS&D customers, but also to all its customers, providing benefits including:
Customer Satisfaction: The AS-9100 standard ensures that customer requirements are met every time, increasing customer satisfaction. In addition, improving delivery speed and reducing inefficiencies and waste also contribute to customer satisfaction.
Efficiency: The certification ensures internal processes are closely monitored to improve efficiency, make continual improvements, and streamline process steps.
Quality: Maintaining a quality management system ensures the highest quality products are produced and increases product safety and reliability.
Continual Improvements: The quality management system, which includes continual improvements to processes, results in greater efficiency, improved quality, and lower costs.
Global Marketability: AS-9100 is a globally recognized standard and is trusted by the AS&D industry, as well as the civil and commercial aviation industry.
KTK Thermal Technologies is dedicated to providing the highest quality thermal management products and related services to our customers. We are committed to continuous improvement and remain on the cutting edge of technological advancement to meet the growing demands and expectations of customers.
