Should You Use a NADCAP-accredited Supplier?

Ohio's Premier Nadcap Painting Facility

NADCAP is a global aerospace, defense, and related industry accreditation program. The Performance Review Institute (PRI) runs NADCAP which brings together government stakeholders and industry experts to ensure adherence to rigid standards.

Finding a NADCAP-accredited supplier can be a challenge. It is a tedious and time-consuming process. Earning NADCAP accreditation can be expensive, long, and difficult. Then, after gaining accreditation, suppliers must be reaccredited through audits every 12 months. Companies accredited by the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) guarantee an adherence to high industry standards, especially in the aerospace industry.

NADCAP accreditation carries more weight than ISO 9001 accreditation by demonstrating strict adherence to industry-recognized best practices to their customers. It shows continued adherence through internal audits of special processes conducted, and the supplier’s actual processes adhere to the necessary standards.

Advantages of Using a NADCAP-accredited supplier:

• Adherence to industry standards: NADCAP-accredited demonstrates that a company follows the best industry-recognized practices

• Improved product quality: NADCAP certification can help companies improve product quality

• Increased customer satisfaction: NADCAP certification can help companies increase customer satisfaction 

• Lower prices: NADCAP certification can help company’s lower prices through improved standardization 

• Fewer audits: NADCAP-accredited suppliers may be subject to fewer audits

• Industry Recognition: Demonstrates a company's commitment to quality and expertise in chemical processing within the aerospace and defense sectors
