We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Quality System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Fabrication work meets ASME standards from
Arc Energy Resources, which we summarised at the time by saying "The SME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Certification organisation establishes the codes and rules for the design, construction, inspection and testing of pressure vessels, nuclear plant
and boilers".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Accreditations cover quality and calibration from
Endevco: "Endevco has renewed its ISO9001:2000 accreditation and has received certification from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation for its sensor calibration laboratory".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Pacamor Kubar Bearings
- take a look at Quality systems meet aerospace standards
which says: "Pacamor Kubar Bearings joins a select list of national and international aerospace companies that have registered to AS9100".
Take a look also at the news release from Sira, IECEx certification body achieves accreditation,
as well as Sustainability award given to explosion preventer from Epsilon Compliance,
and PLM solution delivers open architecture from Omnify Software.
