【原创】NADCAP认证

Nadcap (formerly NADCAP, the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a global cooperative standards-setting program for aerospace engineering, defense and related industries.

Nadcap program as a part of PRI (Performance Review Institute) was created in 1990 by the Society of Automotive Engineers and is headquartered in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. Nadcap's membership of "prime contractors" convene to coordinate industry-wide standards for special processes and products. Through the Performance Review Institute, Nadcap provides independent certification of manufacturing processes for the industry. Branch offices of Nadcap are located in London, Beijing, and Nagoya.

Nadcap program give accreditation for such special processes in aerospace and military industry as:

Heat Treating
Chemical Processing
Coatings
Welding
NDT
Composites
Materials Testing
Electronics
Elastomer Seals
Fluid Distribution Systems
Sealants
Nonconventional Machining (including EDM, ECM, ECG, LBM)
Surface Enhancement (including shot peening, peen forming, glass bead peening)

The Nadcap accreditation is required by such companies as

GE-Aviation
Rolls-Royce plc
MTU
Snecma ("SAFRAN group")
Turbomeca ("SAFRAN group")
Boeing
Vought Aircraft Industries
Bombardier
Honeywell
Pratt and Whitney
Hamilton Sundstrand
Sikorsky Aircraft
and the others

Nadcap meetings are held several times a year in different. locations worldwide. For example, the 2007 meetings were held in Redondo Beach (California) in January; Paris (France) in April; Istanbul (Turkey) in July. The October meeting was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Other locations can be in Europe or Asia. In February 2008 the meeting is planned to be held in Rome (Italy). During these meetings there are Task Group discussions and workshops (with participation of primes, suppliers, and PRI staff.

During the periodic meetings. Nadcap performs training for airspace industry suppliers in different fields, such as:

Pyrometry
Root Cause Corrective Action training - RCCA
Special processes, such as coating, NDT, chemical processing, etc.
Internal audits
The Nadcap training takes place in different regions — USA, Europe, Far East, simultaneously there are meetings of Task Groups (with participation of primes and suppliers). At times these trainings are offered at times separate from the full Nadcap meetings.

Nadcap是性能审查协会（PRI）对航空行业中行业管理项目定立的品名。它是国际间公认的非盈利性标准制订项目组织，其专门对航空工程、汽车和相关行业的特殊产品和工艺进行认证。

　　空中客车公司、Alenia Aereonautica、波音公司、美国戈达德空间飞行中心、劳斯莱斯公司是Nadcap共同体成员中享有更高声誉的跨国公司里的仅有的部分家公司，它们共同努力提高其部门内的质量和安全标准。

　　Nadcap项目对航空和汽车行业的供应体系内的高危险性工艺和产品进行特殊检测：从电子产品到流动分销体系，从化学测试到材料测试，从焊接工艺到热处理程序。
