Are you looking for a DASSAULT AVIATION approved laboratory
What is DASSAULT AVIATION approval?
L’agrément Dassault Aviation est une certification accordée par Dassault Aviation aux fournisseurs et prestataires de services qui répondent à ses exigences strictes en matière de qualité, de traçabilité et de conformité aux normes aéronautiques. Cette qualification sert également de base à des nombreuses entreprises dans le secteur aéronautique.
Après des essais de comparaison inter-laboratoires (PTP), DASSAULT AVIATION sélectionne les prestataires de services répondant aux exigences du groupe, et accorde l’agrément sur une ou plusieurs méthodes d’analyses définies.
Why choose a Dassault Aviation approved expert laboratory?
Using a Dassault Aviation expert laboratory is a sine qua non condition for ensuring the compliance of critical components. This approval certifies that the provider masters the rigorous protocols of the aerospace industry. By choosing a qualified partner, you secure your supply chain with recognized test reports, thereby minimizing the risk of non-compliance during quality audits.
