The Nadcap® program is an industry-managed approach to conformity assessment that brings together technical experts from the aviation, defense, and space industries to establish requirements
for accreditation, accredit suppliers and defi ne operational program requirements. The program is universally recognized as the place for
critical process experts to work together, putting quality above competition.

Managed by industry representatives for the benefit of all, the Nadcap program adds value to its stakeholders through its integral role of assuring product quality while reducing costs. In an industry where
quality is mission-critical, we are proud to work closely with the best of the best for our mutual goal: safety throughout the aviation, defense, and space industries. This results in a standardized approach to quality assurance and a reduction in redundant auditing because prime contractors, suppliers and government representatives have joined forces to develop a program that:

• Establishes stringent audit criteria that satisfy the requirements of all participants
• Replaces redundant auditing of Suppliers with one approved audit created by a consensus decision-making process in cooperation with
members from the user community
• Conducts more in-depth, technically superior critical process audits
• Reduces costs through improved standardization
• Uses technically expert auditors to assure process familiarity
• Provides more frequent audits for primes, assuring quality standards are met
