Your drawings stay confidential
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, covering contract review, process control, inspection, corrective action and continual improvement.
We supply EN 10204 3.1 material test certificates on request, giving traceability from finished part back to the material heat.
We do not hold AS9100 (aerospace) or ISO 13485 (medical devices). For those sectors we supply non-flight-critical and non-implant parts, tooling and fixtures under your quality plan, with full inspection documentation.
ISO 9001:2015 certifies a system, not a part. These are the parts of that system an auditor would ask to see, in the words we would use to describe them.
Every enquiry is reviewed against what we can actually hold before it is quoted: dimensions, datums, tolerances, material grade and the inspection the drawing calls for. Anything ambiguous or beyond our inspection method is raised with you at RFQ stage rather than discovered in production.
Material is bought against the grade and certificate required by the order, and outside processes go only to partners we have approved and continue to use. Plating, anodising, passivation and heat treatment are partner processes, not in-house ones, and are controlled as purchased work.
Each job runs to a proved programme, a defined tool list and recorded machine settings, so the second batch is made the way the first one was. Setups are approved before the balance of a batch is cut.
Inspection is planned per job: which features are measured, with which instrument, at which stage and how often. The instruments themselves are listed on our quality page; the method is agreed before the order, not assumed.
A part that fails inspection is identified and separated so it cannot reach a crate by default. Rework, scrap or a request for your concession is a recorded decision, and nothing is shipped outside drawing without your written agreement.
A customer complaint or a repeated internal reject is investigated for cause, not just replaced. The resulting change to the programme, fixture, tooling or inspection plan is recorded against the part so it carries into the next order.
The hand instruments and the surface plate used to accept work are calibrated and their records kept, so a measurement can be tied to a known instrument condition. We can show the calibration record for the instruments used on your batch.
Bar stock is identified with its heat number at cutting, and part number, drawing revision, batch and quantity stay with the work through machining, inspection and packing. That is what lets a delivered part be traced back to its material certificate.
The system is audited internally and reviewed by management, with the findings, actions and follow-up recorded. These records are part of what a second-party audit of us would examine.
The inspection sequence is described on our quality page. What follows is the control and record at each stage — what has to be accepted before the order moves on.
Before machining
Material is checked against its mill certificate for grade, heat number and size, and is identified with the heat number before it is released to the shop floor. If the certificate and the material do not agree, the batch is held rather than cut.
First off
The first part from the proved programme is inspected against every dimension on the drawing, and the balance of the batch is not run until that record is accepted. Where you want to approve the first article yourself, the report is sent to you before production continues.
During the run
Nominated features are measured at intervals fixed for the job and the readings are written on the batch record, not confirmed verbally. A drift towards a tolerance limit is acted on during the run instead of being found at final inspection.
On return from a partner
Parts sent out for plating, anodising, passivation or heat treatment are re-inspected here on return, for dimensions after coating and for finish and appearance, before they go anywhere near a crate.
Before despatch
Final inspection is completed and the dimensional report compiled for the batch before packing. The drawing revision, material identity, inspection record and any agreed concession are retained together per batch, so a repeat order is made and judged against the same baseline.
What arrives with the parts, and what you have to ask for. Documents marked on request should be stated on the purchase order, since some of them affect how the material is bought.

A supplier audit goes faster when the gaps are declared up front. The right-hand column is the part most suppliers leave out; reading it should save you an RFQ that was never going to suit us.
Scope statement
ISO 9001:2015 is the only certification we hold. It certifies that our quality management system — contract review, purchasing, process control, inspection, non-conforming product, corrective action, calibration, traceability and management review — is documented, followed and audited. It is a system certification, not a product approval and not a sector approval: it does not stand in for AS9100 or ISO 13485, and it does not certify the dimensions of any individual part. What assures the part is the inspection record for its batch, measured against your drawing revision, together with the mill certificate for its material. Where you have your own quality plan, inspection sheet or report format, send it with the RFQ: we will work to it as a customer requirement inside our system, confirm in writing what we can verify with hand instruments and a granite surface plate, and tell you plainly what we cannot.
