How Credence Ensures Compliance with Aviation Industry Standards and Regulations

The aviation industry is governed by a complex framework of strict regulations and certifications that ensure the safety and reliability of every component, part, and product used in aircraft. For aviation parts suppliers like Credcorp, adhering to these standards is not just about legal compliance—it’s about building trust, ensuring safety, and supporting the integrity of the industry as a whole. In this blog, we’ll explore the key regulations that aviation parts suppliers must follow and how Credcorp ensures they meet or exceed these industry standards.

Aviation Industry Regulations and Certifications:

1. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Regulations: In the United States, the FAA sets the gold standard for aviation safety. Suppliers like Credcorp must comply with FAA regulations regarding part manufacturing, quality control, and traceability. The FAA’s rigorous standards ensure that parts meet strict safety requirements and can be reliably used in aircraft operations.
2. EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) Standards: In Europe, aviation parts suppliers must follow EASA regulations, which are comparable to the FAA’s but specific to the EU. These regulations focus on ensuring that suppliers meet the highest safety standards for parts used in commercial aviation, from design to production.
3. ISO Certifications: ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems) and AS9100 (Aerospace Standard) are crucial certifications that demonstrate a supplier’s commitment to quality and process control. Suppliers must undergo audits and demonstrate their ability to consistently produce parts that meet stringent quality standards.
4. Part 145 Certification: For suppliers involved in the repair and maintenance of aviation parts, FAA Part 145 certification is a requirement. This certification ensures that repairs are done to the highest standards, guaranteeing the safety and integrity of parts used in aviation.
5. TRACE and Other Compliance Standards: TRACE (Third-Party Risk and Compliance) and similar standards ensure that aviation suppliers comply with anti-bribery laws, environmental regulations, and ethical business practices. Credcorp’s dedication to ethical standards is essential for maintaining trust with clients and stakeholders.
