Our Commitment to Aerospace-Grade Quality

In aerospace and defense, quality is not an option, it is a mission-critical requirement. Every product, every process and every document must adhere to strict international standards to ensure flight safety, system reliability and operational continuity.

At ADDEV Materials, we have built a global quality framework designed specifically for the Aerospace & Defense sector.

Our approach combines:

  • certified quality management systems,
  • controlled and secure supply chains,
  • full traceability,
  • rigorous documentation processes,
  • and a culture of continuous improvement

 

This enables us to support OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, MRO centers, defense integrators and space programs with materials and services that meet or exceed the most demanding aerospace requirements.

Quality and Certifications

EN 9100 – Excellence in Aerospace Quality Management

What EN 9100 Ensures

EN 9100 is the international benchmark for quality management in aviation, space and defense.

Compared to ISO 9001, the EN 9100 standard includes reinforced requirements for:

  • risk management and operational safety,
  • configuration and documentation control,
  • traceability throughout the product lifecycle,
  • production and process consistency,
  • supplier evaluation and oversight.

 

For aerospace stakeholders, EN 9100 ensures maximum reliability, reduced risk and compliance with OEM expectations.

Our EN 9100 certification confirms our capability to manage:

  • secure handling of aerospace chemicals and consumables,
  • controlled repackaging operations,
  • regulated storage and logistics,
  • documentation aligned with ICOP (Industry Controlled Other Party) standards.

 

This certification is recognized globally by aircraft manufacturers and defense authorities.

Choosing an EN 9100-certified partner ensures:

  • superior process reliability,
  • reduced quality risks,
  • seamless integration into OEM-approved supply chains,
  • stronger airworthiness compliance,
  • enhanced production and MRO performance.

EN 9120 – Certified Aerospace Distribution & Supply Chain Integrity

What EN 9120 Guarantees

EN 9120 is the aerospace-specific standard for distributors of materials, chemicals and components.

It strengthens supply chain security through:

  • strict batch and documentation traceability,
  • controlled storage and inventory management,
  • conformity inspection procedures,
  • secure and compliant delivery processes.

This certification ensures that all distributed aerospace materials, chemicals, adhesives, coatings, surface treatments, and consumables — meet consistent quality requirements, are stored in controlled conditions and shipped with the correct certification packages.

  • Zero-compromise reliability across the aerospace supply chain
  • Reduced risk of nonconforming batches
  • Fully traceable and documented deliveries
  • Stability of supply for OEM and MRO operations
  • Compliance with global aerospace standards (ICOP)

IATA Certification – safe and compliant handling of chemical products

Why IATA Matters in Aerospace

Aerospace operations rely heavily on controlled transport of hazardous chemicals.

IATA certification ensures that ADDEV Materials can safely handle, package and ship dangerous goods according to global aviation regulations.

Our teams are trained and certified to manage:

  • DG (Dangerous Goods) classification,
  • compliant packaging and labeling,
  • ATEX storage and chemical safety procedures,
  • global shipment of regulated materials.

For aerospace customers, this means accelerated deliveries, reduced compliance risk and enhanced operator safety.
