National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP)

The National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) is a global certification program that assesses and audits the quality and special processes used by aerospace and defense suppliers. It ensures facilities meet industry standards for practices such as welding, heat treatment, and NDT (non-destructive testing). By obtaining NADCAP accreditation, companies demonstrate their capability to produce reliable, high-quality components for critical applications like aircraft and spacecraft. This accreditation helps maintain safety, consistency, and trust across the aerospace and defense supply chain.
