QA & Certification

Q: Why is the SC21 Silver Award so important in the Aerospace and Defence Industry?

Supply Chains for the 21st Century (SC21) is an improvement programme designed to increase the performance of suppliers and their supply chains within the UK aerospace, security, space, and defence industries. This is vital when every part you buy is going into something that if fails has the capability to cause a lot of damage.

Maintaining the integrity of the supply chain is paramount to us. We back this up with industry-leading quality control and certification.
