(IR, El Segundo, CA) announced that it has achieved a multi-site AS9100/ISO9001 certification for its high-reliability (Hi-Rel) manufacturing and design facilities in Santa Clara, CA; Leominster, MA; and Skovlunde, Denmark. The Santa Clara and Skovlunde facilities design, assemble and test space-level dc-dc converters.

The AS9100 certification, which is based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 quality management systems standard, provides a standard set of requirements for aerospace quality management systems. Registration to AS9100 involves a third-party verification process that includes a review of quality processes and documentation.
