Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd Achieves AS9100 Certification

Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd, a leading UK-based manufacturer of RF, Microwave, Waterproof, and Cryogenic Connectors and Cable Assemblies, has received the AS9100 certification. This prestigious accolade demonstrates the company's commitment to maintaining a globally recognized aerospace-specific quality system.

AS9100 is a specialized set of requirements for the aerospace, defense, and aviation industries. Companies holding this certification can deliver products that meet customer and regulatory requirements, ensuring enhanced quality and safety, improved supply chain collaboration, increased market access, better risk management, greater operational efficiency, and higher workforce engagement.

For Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd, this certification is a significant milestone, as they are the supplier of choice for many leading American and European Defence, Medical, and Marine OEMs. The company, which manufacturers the market-leading Pisces range of waterproof RF connectors and offers value-added services, will now be able to better serve its clients in the aerospace, defense, and aviation sectors.

"We are extremely proud to have received the AS9100 award," said Steve Groves, Sales & Marketing Director at Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd. "Our team's commitment to maintaining our ethos of manufacturing great products with excellent customer service was instrumental in our success in obtaining the AS9100 certification."

The AS9100 certification involves regular third-party audits with full recertification every three years and annual surveillance audits to maintain compliance. To meet these demands, companies often need to allocate adequate resources such as skilled personnel, facilities, and equipment in an efficient working environment.

In addition to AS9100, Intelliconnect also holds a Silver SC21 certification, demonstrating their commitment to Lean manufacturing principles and supply chain best practices.

The award was presented to Intelliconnect (Europe) at their Witham, Essex, facility by Michael Venner of Auva Certification Ltd. AS9100 is based on the general quality standard ISO 9001, with additional aerospace-specific requirements. These include more stringent production and operations controls, detailed risk identification and assessment, the appointment of a dedicated Quality Management System (QMS) management representative, expanded employee involvement and responsibilities in total quality management, closer control and approval of external providers and suppliers, specific requirements for design, development testing, validation, and configuration management, and enhanced processes for nonconformance management and corrective actions.

With the AS9100 certification, Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd continues to solidify its position as a leading manufacturer in the aerospace, defense, and aviation industries, providing its clients with the highest quality products and services.
