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.

NADCAP AC7130 was developed by Rolls Royce, Airbus, Boeing, UTC, GE Aviation, SAFRAN and Spirit Aerosystems and is currently being mandated within Boeing's supply chain. 

The workshop will cover: 

  • Background information and context to Nadcap M&I
  • Why it was developed
  • Who is mandating it
  • How to get accredited
  • What each of the M&I slash-sheets covers
  • A brief look at AS13003 (another new measurement standard) and how it relates to Nadcap M&I
  • Top-five M&I challenges seen by NPL in over 50 advanced manufacturers over the past two years
