A joint event of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance and the National Physical Laboratory
Nadcap Measurement & Inspection (M&I) is now being mandated by aerospace primes. If you have received a mandate letter, you wish to understand the advantages of Nadcap Measurement and Inspection (AC7130) certification or you have heard about Nadcap M&I and would like to know more, then this half-day event will not only help you prepare but show how you can achieve significant improvements in productivity and profitability by using measurement and inspection best practices. The workshop will be led by the National Physical Laboratory, experts in the field of product verification and delivery partners within Sharing in Growth.

The workshop will cover:
- Background information and context to Nadcap M&I
