  • What does “certification” and/or the issue of a certification mark for EN/AS9100, EN/AS9110, EN/AS9120 by TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH mean?
    • The customer has submitted to voluntary assessment (audit) according to defined criteria (certification standard).

      Verification, in the form of interviews and on-site inspection at the customer's premises, that the above requirements are effectively implemented in practice.
