Quality and Control

A high level of requirement
at every stage

We place quality requirements at the heart of our industrial processes
through inspections carried out using in-house resources.

We continuously improve our quality level by acquiring and mastering new control methods, anticipating market expectations and guaranteeing products that meet the highest aerospace standards.

Our goal is to rely on continuous improvement mechanisms (PDCA – Plan-Do-Check-Act), regularly analysing performance and implementing corrective actions to address identified issues.

We are certified EN9100 and ISO9001 for the following entities:

the Freyssinet Aero Group

Freyssinet Aero Equipment

Freyssinet Aero Services

and Freyssinet Aero Coating

The laboratory

Material analysis
and understanding

Since 2022, we have operated our own integrated laboratory. Designed for all our subsidiaries, it strengthens our control of industrial cycles, improves responsiveness and ensures optimal traceability across a wide range of materials (titanium, aluminium, nickel, steels, composites, polymers, etc.).

Detect internal or surface defects without altering the part, ensuring its compliance with safety and reliability requirementsé.

Preparation and analysis methods

Sample collection and preparation

(micro-cutting, mounting, semi-automatic polishing)

Chemical etching

Qualifications

Development
and new qualifications

We have the internal resources needed to develop and qualify new special processes.

This continuous ability to adapt enables us to remain responsive to industry requirements and to offer high-value solutions.

 

NDT

Non-destructive
testing

Non-destructive testing is fully integrated into our quality chain. We carry out all operations internally, ensuring traceability, compliance and control over lead times.

Dye penetrant testing is a non-destructive testing method used to identify cracks, fissures and other open defects on non-porous materials (metals, ceramics, etc.).

We perform these inspections by immersion, according to the following sensitivity standards:

Sensitivity 2 - Pre-emulsified

Sensitivity 3 - Post-emulsified

NADCAP certifications

Penetrant Testing / Merit Program status

Nadcap Certification

Literally the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program, Nadcap ensures specific quality standards in the aerospace sectors. We are Nadcap-certified with Merit Program status for non-destructive penetrant testing (Penetrant Testing / Liquid Penetrant).
