State of the Art has become the first chip resistor supplier independently certified for the aerospace quality system standards AS9100. SOTA's quality management system was assessed by Eagle Registrations, and it has been certified as conforming to AS9100:2001. The scope of the registration includes the development, production, and testing of all thick and thin film resistive components, including the company's popular MIL-PRF-55342 chip resistors.
AS9100 accreditation is required by many aerospace companies for all component and subassembly suppliers.
"The AS9100 registration is a logical companion to our ISO9001 registration", stated Company President, Robert Hufnagel.
"As one of the pre-eminent suppliers of high reliability resistors, this certification will save our customers the cost of doing site audits, and it is a validation of our commitment to the aerospace industry".
AS9100 compliance requires additional quality system elements not required by ISO9001, such as independent validation of materials and processes.
Reassessment of the quality system takes place every three years by an independent accredited audit agency.
