Icon Polymer, a world-leading designer and manufacturer of polymer composite products, has been recertified by the British Standards Institution with its AS9100 aerospace standard after a full recertification audit.

On site for five working days, three auditors examined all of Icon Polymer’s system and manufacturing processes including  the introduction of new products. Icon Polymer excelled.

Hayley Jenkins, deputy quality manager at Icon Polymer, said: “We are delighted to have maintained our aerospace accreditation, Icon Polymer prides itself on its high standards and precise attention to detail. The result is down to the dedication of all our employees ensuring adherence to our process and system procedures, supported by our robust internal auditing schedule. Our internal audit team involves our employees at every stage of our procedures.  The success of this integrated approach is demonstrated and quantified through the external audit and accreditation process completed.”

“Quality control of our processes and procedures ensures high reliability and repeatability in our products and in how we conduct our business. Our customers depend upon this basic requirement, it is the foundation of our business,” states Hayley. “Having held the ISO:9001 standard for more than ten years, Icon Polymer was awarded the aerospace-specific accreditation in 2008 and later AS9100, Revision C. The latest audit was the full recertification audit that all organisations must undertake every three years, in addition to yearly surveilance auditing.

“In the last year Icon has gained positions on many new aircraft platforms and achieving this certification is an essential element of how the Icon team operates internally and with our Supply Chain,” added Hayley Jenkins.

Icon Polymer Group is a leader in the design, manufacture and qualification of highly-engineered polymer products in the Aerospace and Defence sector using the latest technology, materials and production processes.
