Quantic PMI Achieves ISO 9001:2015 & AS9100D Certification for Aerospace Quality Management System

Quantic PMI is excited to share that we have earned the ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications for its quality management system for its Frederick, Maryland and El Dorado Hills, California facilities. This certification reinforces Quantic PMI’s ability to meet stringent customer requirements and deliver consistent, RF & Microwave Components & Integrated modules & subsystems. 

AS9100D was developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and is the recognized standard for quality management in the Aviation, Space, and Defense industries. Fewer than 20,000 companies worldwide hold this certification. It builds on ISO 9001 by adding requirements for product safety, risk management, counterfeit parts prevention, and traceability- making it one of the most rigorous quality standards in manufacturing today.

The certification audit was conducted by the Performance Review Institute (PRI), a well-established third-party registrar known for its strict oversight of aerospace and defense quality systems. The process included a detailed review of Quantic PMI’s procedures, documentation, and execution across business development, design, manufacturing, and supply chain operations.
