What is Nadcap Certification?
Nadcap is an industry accreditation that was once known as the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program.

Overseen by the (PRI), the purpose of Nadcap is to establish accreditation requirements, issue credentials, and define operational program requirements for manufacturers and suppliers. This results in:
To receive Nadcap certification, an aerospace and defense industry supplier undergoes a rigorous technical assessment of its manufacturing processes. This assessment is conducted by qualified industry experts.
Nadcap compliance provides a high degree of comfort that the company is capable of meeting customer requirements and performing to industry standards. To assess how work is accomplished and materials are handled, an audit might include:
The Performance Review Institute (PRI) administers all audits for the Nadcap certification program. Once an audit is agreed on, the Institute will assign an approved auditor for this purpose. This auditor will conduct the audit using industry-approved standards. After the audit is complete, the Institute will notify the manufacturer of any noted non-conformity issues.
The manufacturer will have an opportunity to close-out any non-conformance reports. Upon completion, the audit package is presented to a task group of industry members that will review it and vote on its acceptability for approval. Final accreditation is only granted when all non-conformance issues are fully addressed.
