Overview
Space sector: an overview of conformity processes
Space applications add qualification testing specific to the orbital environment — vacuum, atomic oxygen, radiation and thermal vacuum — on top of aerospace requirements. Outgassing behaviour is decisive in material selection; flight hardware is mostly assessed against a project-specific qualification plan.
How we work
Six steps from scope to certificate
Scope
We determine your product, target market and sector; the required legislation list is produced.
Quote
Testing and audit items are priced separately; the quote is delivered within 24 hours.
Sample / Planning
Sample requirements are shared, or an on-site audit is scheduled.
Testing & Audit
Testing or audit is carried out according to the method of the relevant standard.
Report & Document
A report is issued; if within certification scope, the process proceeds to the decision stage.
Maintaining the validation
Surveillance audits and legislative changes are tracked.
