Precision Calibration Services for Aerospace and Defense


The aerospace and defense industries operate at the pinnacle of precision engineering, where measurement accuracy can determine mission success, flight safety, and national security. Every component, system, and assembly must meet exacting standards that leave no room for measurement uncertainty or calibration errors. 

The Accredited Labs network understands the critical nature of aerospace and defense applications and provides specialized calibration services that meet the rigorous requirements of these demanding industries.

The Critical Role of Calibration in Aerospace and Defense


From the precision instruments that guide spacecraft to their destinations to the measurement systems that verify the integrity of aircraft engines, calibrated instruments form the foundation of safety and reliability in these critical industries.

The consequences of measurement errors in aerospace and defense can be catastrophic. Navigation errors can lead to mission failures or aircraft accidents. Inaccurate force measurements can result in structural failures. Improper temperature control can compromise propulsion systems or electronic components. These industries demand measurement accuracy that exceeds typical commercial standards, requiring calibration services that understand and meet these exceptional requirements.

Regulatory and Standards Compliance


AS9100 Quality Management Systems
The aerospace industry operates under AS9100 quality management standards that build upon ISO 9001 with additional requirements specific to aerospace applications. These standards mandate comprehensive calibration programs, measurement traceability, and documentation that demonstrates ongoing compliance with aerospace quality requirements.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Requirements
Commercial aviation operates under strict FAA regulations that govern aircraft design, manufacturing, and maintenance. Calibration records must demonstrate that measuring equipment meets FAA requirements for accuracy, traceability, and documentation. These requirements ensure that aircraft components and systems meet safety standards throughout their operational life.

Department of Defense (DoD) Standards
Defense contractors must comply with DoD standards and specifications that govern measurement accuracy, calibration procedures, and quality assurance. Military specifications often exceed commercial standards and require specialized calibration procedures that address unique military requirements and operating conditions.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
Defense-related calibration services must comply with ITAR requirements that control the export and handling of defense-related technologies and information. Calibration providers must maintain appropriate registrations and ensure that all personnel involved in defense calibration activities meet ITAR compliance requirements.

NADCAP Accreditation Requirements
The National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) provides industry-managed accreditation for aerospace and defense suppliers. Calibration services supporting NADCAP-accredited operations must meet specific technical requirements and maintain documentation that supports ongoing accreditation compliance.
