Quality and compliance
Quality you can document, from mill to delivery.
What we supply runs through NOSE KOZAI's JIS Q 9100 quality system and ships with the records your quality team needs. Below is what each company in the group holds, stated as it is.
Quality management system
NOSE KOZAI has held aerospace quality certification since 2013 (AS9120), and has been certified to JIS Q 9100 since 2017.
Parts made by our group companies and partner shops are procured, inspected and released under this system. Forgings are produced under HOHWA's own approvals, listed below.
If your program requires the manufacturing site itself to hold AS9100 or Nadcap approval, tell us and we will confirm before quoting.
