What is NADCAP?

Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a global cooperative accreditation program for aerospace, defense and other related industries. It is designed to ensure that special processes used in manufacturing meet stringent quality and safety standards. It achieves this by providing independent third-party auditing and accreditation of these processes, such as heat treating, welding, non-destructive testing, and chemical processing. Companies seek Nadcap accreditation to demonstrate their commitment to quality, reduce risk, and meet customer requirements.
