Why AS9120 Certification is Mission Critical in Aerospace & Defense

Tony Reveruzzi

In aerospace and defense, quality isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. A single faulty component can mean more than downtime or repair costs. It can threaten lives, jeopardize missions, and trigger costly regulatory setbacks.

Beyond the immediate risks, even minor failures can damage reputations built over decades. For organizations operating in this space, reliability is non-negotiable.

Component Dynamics’ AS9120 certification exemplifies our strong commitment to customer quality requirements, with special provisions to safeguard the aerospace and defense supply chain.

The Value of AS9120 Certification

AS9120 certification is an international quality management standard for aerospace and defense distributors, ensuring rigorous traceability, documentation, and quality controls across every component supplied.

Unlike general quality management systems, AS9120 addresses the unique demands of aerospace and defense procurement. It focuses on:

  • Traceability: Every component can be tracked from origin to delivery, ensuring accountability at every step.
  • Documentation: Stringent record keeping guarantees the right part, from the right source, reaches the right application.
  • Quality Controls: Processes are designed to identify and eliminate risks before they impact performance.

By meeting and maintaining AS9120 standards, Component Dynamics goes beyond compliance to instill confidence amidst the highest stakes.

Reliability That Matches the Mission

AS9120 certification is proof of our dedication to the industries we serve. At Component Dynamics, it means:

  • Alignment with Aerospace & Defense Standards: Every process is built to meet the strictest industry requirements.
  • Stronger Quality Management: From inspection through storage and delivery, our systems are designed to ensure reliability at every stage.
  • Reduced Risk: Rigorous controls protect customers from recalls, failures, and costly delays.

Built-In Counterfeit Prevention

AS9120 requires documented processes to prevent, detect, and respond to counterfeit or suspect counterfeit parts. At Component Dynamics, this includes:

  • Verified supplier sourcing
  • Controlled handling and inspection procedures
  • Full traceability to original manufacturers or authorized sources

This helps protect operations — and the reputation of our clients— from the risks of unauthorized or substandard parts.”

Ensure Confidence in Every Component

When the stakes are mission-critical, partnering with the right supplier makes all the difference. By working with an AS9120-certified distributor like Component Dynamics, aerospace, defense, and other high-reliability industries gain peace of mind and assurance that every part meets the highest standard of quality.
