Adezif quality certifications: EN 9100 & ISO 9001
At Adezif, quality is the prerequisite for working with the most demanding industrial partners. Our two production and conversion sites — Adezif Nord and Adezif Paris — hold dual certification, at the level of excellence required by each of the markets we serve, including aerospace, space and defence. (Our third site, Adezif Normandie, is a logistics site and does not hold these certifications.)
- 🛩️ Adezif Nord is certified EN 9100:2018 — strictly equivalent to AS9100 (North America) and JISQ 9100 (Asia) — the quality management standard for aerospace, space and defence, which fully incorporates all ISO 9001:2015 requirements.
- 🏭 Adezif Paris is certified ISO 9001:2015 — the international reference for quality management.
Our certifications are issued by OSAC, a French certification body accredited by COFRAC and recognised by the IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group).
EN 9100: the aerospace quality standard at Adezif
The EN 9100:2018 standard is the global quality benchmark for the aerospace, space and defence sectors. Developed by the IAQG, it is strictly equivalent to AS9100 (North America) and JISQ 9100 (Asia) — all three are technically identical and mutually recognised worldwide.
EN 9100 incorporates all requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and adds approximately one hundred sector-specific requirements. In practice, a supplier certified EN 9100 is compliant with ISO 9001 by design, while also meeting the additional constraints that aerospace prime contractors consider non-negotiable.
What this means concretely for your projects
By entrusting us with your technical adhesive tapes, industrial adhesives or custom-cut parts, you benefit from an organisation built around the requirements of the aerospace supply chain:
- Project risk management documented at every critical stage of the process flow.
- Product configuration control: any change in material, process or supplier is tracked, assessed and formally validated.
- Enhanced traceability: every production batch is linked to its raw materials, equipment, operators and inspection records.
- First Article Inspection (FAI) available on request, in accordance with industry practice (AS/EN 9102 standard).
- FOD prevention (Foreign Object Damage/Debris) integrated into all conversion and packaging workstations.
- Management of critical parts and characteristics identified upstream with the customer.
- Structured quality reporting compatible with the requirements of Tier 1 and Tier 2 prime contractors.
This certification makes Adezif a directly referenceable industrial partner for aerospace buyers, without requiring an additional supplier audit process.
ISO 9001: the quality foundation across our sites
The ISO 9001:2015 standard is the world reference for quality management. It defines the requirements enabling a company to consistently deliver products and services that meet customer expectations, within a framework of continuous improvement.
At Adezif, this certification structures our activity around four principles:
- Active listening to customer needs, from the initial enquiry through to post-delivery follow-up;
- a documented organisation of production, conversion and inspection processes;
- team accountability at every stage of the industrial flow;
- ongoing performance improvement, measured by precise indicators.
Every stage — from raw material selection to final delivery — is governed by a rigorous quality management system.
What our certifications guarantee
For your procurement, quality and engineering teams, our certifications translate into concrete, operational commitments:
- Documented compliance with your technical and regulatory specifications.
- Quality documentation available on request: certificates of conformance, technical data sheets, SDS, dimensional inspection reports, conformance reports, FAI sheets.
- Bidirectional traceability: from a delivered batch number, we can trace back to the original raw material and all intermediate stages.
- Long-term product stability through configuration control: no silent change of material supplier or process.
- Contractual responsiveness on non-conformances, deviation requests and corrective actions.
- Consistent logistics supported by our entire network of sites, with the same group standards applied to every shipment.
It is this combination — not simply holding a logo — that gives our certifications their real value for industrial customers.
A continuous improvement approach, audited every year
Our EN 9100 and ISO 9001 certifications are not endpoints: they are part of a continuous improvement dynamic, verified annually through surveillance audits conducted by OSAC. Every three years, a full renewal audit is carried out.
This dynamic drives our teams every day:
- regular review and optimisation of operating procedures;
- ongoing training for operators and quality staff;
- investment in our inspection capabilities (metrology, vision systems, digital traceability);
- regulatory monitoring and document updates;
- KPI-driven management (service level, non-conformance rate, complaint resolution time).
This internal discipline enables us to anticipate market developments and offer our customers consistent reliability over time.
Frequently asked questions
Does EN 9100 include ISO 9001?
Yes. EN 9100:2018 fully incorporates all ISO 9001:2015 requirements and adds sector-specific requirements for aerospace, space and defence. A supplier certified to EN 9100 is therefore compliant with ISO 9001 by design.
Is EN 9100 the same as AS9100?
Yes. EN 9100 (Europe), AS9100 (North America) and JISQ 9100 (Asia) are technically identical standards, jointly developed by the IAQG and mutually recognised worldwide. A supplier certified EN 9100 is fully recognised by AS9100 customers.
Can Adezif provide a First Article Inspection (FAI)?
Yes, as part of a project agreed in advance. Please specify your requirement (partial FAI, full FAI, AS/EN 9102 format) at the enquiry stage so we can include it in the project quality plan.
What quality documents do you provide with a delivery?
Depending on the contract and the nature of the product: certificate of conformance, technical data sheet, SDS, inspection report, material certificate, batch traceability. FAI sheets and dimensional reports are provided on request.
Which sectors does Adezif serve with these certifications?
Aerospace, space, defence, rail, transport, electronics, energy, medical (excluding regulated devices), and general industry. Our EN 9100 certification level opens all demanding markets where quality and traceability are critical.
