Active-PCB Solutions is proud to announce that we have once again achieved ES9100 and ISO 9001 re-certification, following a detailed eight-day audit conducted by BSI.
The comprehensive re-audit examined every aspect of our quality management system, from process control and documentation to traceability, supplier management, and continuous improvement.
This latest certification also marks an expanded scope of accreditation, recognising our capability not only in the manufacture of printed circuit boards and PCB assemblies, but also in the manufacture, assembly, and supply of printed circuit board assemblies and associated electronic products, including wiring harnesses, box builds, and testing – all meeting the highest international quality standards.
This achievement reinforces our ongoing commitment to quality, consistency, and reliability at every stage of our electronics manufacturing operations.
What Is ES9100?
ES9100 (the technical equivalent of AS9100) is the internationally recognised Quality Management System (QMS) standard for the aerospace, defence, and space industries.
It builds on the ISO9001 framework, adding specific requirements that ensure product safety, process control, and traceability in highly regulated manufacturing environments.
ES9100 focuses on:
- Risk and configuration management
- Product safety and reliability
- Supply-chain quality and traceability
- Corrective and preventive action
- Continuous improvement and customer satisfaction
Although primarily developed for aerospace and defence, ES9100 represents one of the most rigorous quality benchmarks in manufacturing; one that also benefits any of our customers who require high reliability.
ISO9001: A Foundation for Quality
In parallel, our ISO9001 re-certification reaffirms that our quality management system continues to meet global standards for process efficiency, customer focus, and continual improvement.
Together, ES9100 and ISO9001 provide a robust framework for delivering quality, traceable, and repeatable results across every project.
What ISO9001 and ES9100 Re-Certification Involves
The eight-day BSI audit covered:
- Engineering and document control
- Procurement and supplier management
- Surface mount and through-hole assembly processes
- Testing, and inspection
- Calibration and equipment maintenance
- Internal auditing, training, and continuous improvement practices
Auditors verified that our systems not only comply with ES9100 and ISO9001 requirements but demonstrate an embedded culture of quality throughout the organisation.
Why It Matters
For our customers, these certifications provide assurance that every assembly, from prototype to production, is built within a controlled, traceable, and continuously improving quality management system.
Working with an ES9100- and ISO9001-certified manufacturer means reliable product performance, documented traceability from materials to shipment, reduced risk throughout the supply chain and consistent communication and compliance.
Whether your products are destined for aerospace, defence, or other high-reliability industries, this certification confirms that Active-PCB Solutions operates to the same stringent standards demanded by the world’s most regulated sectors.
Our Commitment to Quality
Maintaining our ISO9001 and ES9100 certifications is the result of strong teamwork and continuous investment in people, processes, and technology and we want to extend our thanks to all staff who contributed to the audit process.
Active-PCB Solutions: Quality You Can Depend On
Our renewed ES9100 and ISO9001 certifications demonstrate that quality is more than a requirement; it’s built into everything we do.
