Nadcap accreditation is looked on by most of the heat treating world as a significant achievement and a guarantee of quality. It not only permits a company to perform heat treating for the Aerospace/Defense industries but also tells customers that this company has a high standard of quality.

So what is it, and how does it work?

In this HTT Best of the Web Technical Tuesday feature, Vac Aero International takes readers through the entire Nadcap accreditation process from start to finish, examining what it is, how it works, and troubleshooting problem areas.

An excerpt: “Nadcap accreditation benefits not only the company being audited but helps ensure their customers receive products and services that meet or exceed both their expectations and requirements. The audit and accreditation processes result in continuous improvement in multiple areas, with deficiencies (i.e., nonconformances) identified and corrected based on specific rules (i.e., guidelines) to ensure each process meets or exceeds industry standards.”

Vac Aero gives a detailed look at the common pitfalls in the accreditation process, useful resources and training courses to help companies prepare for their audit, and what to do after the audit is complete.
