PROGRESS CHECK OF NADCAP APPROVAL BY MARTIN BRIDGE

Martin Bridge visited us 4, 5 and 6 of October for a progress check of our Nadcap approval. He checked all our processes, documents and procedures. At the end of these 3 days he was very positive about our progress, no unexpected issues were found and he expects that after finishing the outstanding issues we will get the Nadcap accreditation.

”In general Pontus show good readiness for heat treating the parts, having made a thorough review of all the linked specifications and identified most of the improvements needed.”

Martin Bridge has been a Nadcap Heat Treatment and Aerospace Quality Systems auditor since 2003. As well as auditing around the world, he has presented eQuaLearn courses in China, Japan, India, Singapore and throughout Europe. Martin’s knowledge and expertise has been recognised a number of times, including by  the American Society for Metals  Marcus A Grossman Award in 1985 and by a Nadcap Mayben-Platonoff award in 2008.

A week after this progress check we were audited for our AS9100 certificate by Lloyds, for the fifth year in a row we completed the audit without any irregularities!
