Professional associations: International quality control at top level

23.10.2020

Hardly any other industry is as quality-driven as the aviation industry. There is a large number of globally active professional associations that advocate clear, groundbreaking quality and production standards and ensure and document their complete compliance and implementation.

As one of the leading international companies in the aerospace sector, FACC pursues a clear goal: to constantly guarantee premium quality in development, production and all services. An important component for this is the active membership in the most important professional associations of the aviation industry. Here FACC is in permanent mutual exchange with international experts. The most important professional associations at a glance:

IAQG, the International Aerospace Quality Group

  • The IAQG defines the quality standard within the global value chain of the aviation industry as well as the procedure for the certification of organizations.
  • FACC is an active member of IAQG since 2012.

 

EAQG, the European Aerospace Quality Group

  • The EAQG is part of the IAQG and represents Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It concentrates on the continuous improvement of the value chain and thus also on increasing quality and reducing costs.
  • FACC is a member of EAQG since 2005.

 

AAI, the Austrian Aeronautics Industries Group
