We are ISO 17025 accredited to perform most qualification testing at our laboratory in Downers Grove, IL, USA, and can witness testing at third-party laboratories or manufacturer sites. Once qualification testing is complete, our certification team verifies that all design and qualification requirements are met and issues a Certificate of Conformance with notification submitted to the FAA. A complete list of certified products is maintained by the FAA and updated monthly in the FAA AC 150/5345-53D Addendum.
