Defenture is a process driven organisation with a ISO 9001-2015 and AQAP 2110 certification. International standards (NEN, DIN, ISO, STANAG, AECTP etc.) are common and embedded in the used processes.

ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to. It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. In fact, there are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.

This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. Using ISO 9001:2015 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits. More information regarding the principles, click here.

The Allied Quality Assurance Publications (AQAP) are standards for quality assurance systems that have been developed by NATO.

The aim of the AQAP agreement is to define standards for Quality Assurance of defence products. These standards are an integral part of contracts awarded in the military field involving NATO member countries. AQAP documents are therefore important to contractors and companies wanting to bid for such contracts. The AQAP system is described in STANAG 4107 issued by the NATO Standardization Agency.
