AS9100 in Cardiff: questions clients ask
Why is Bro Tathan relevant to AS9100 in Cardiff?
Because Bro Tathan Business Park sits in an Enterprise Zone whose key sectors include aerospace and defence, with maintenance and engineering occupiers. Their suppliers and service firms are exactly those whom primes ask for AS9100. The requirement is customer-led, not a zone rule.
What does an MRO-adjacent Cardiff firm add to ISO 9001 for AS9100?
Configuration management, first article inspection where relevant, control of special processes, product-safety and counterfeit-part prevention. If ISO 9001 is already in place, these are additions rather than a new build. An accredited certification body assesses the result. Welsh public and private buyers typically settle the detail in tender or supplier terms.
