Quality & Traceability
Turbomachinery parts don't forgive mistakes, so our quality system is built around preventing them: documented processes, first article inspection, full material traceability and a certificate on every shipment.
Short answer: Our quality system is compliant with ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D. Every order includes first article inspection on new parts, heat-lot material traceability and a certificate of conformance.
What every order gets
- Contract review. Drawing, revision, material, tolerances and requirements are checked before we quote and again at order entry.
- First article inspection on new parts and new revisions, with approval before the full run.
- Material traceability. Mill test reports are on file, and heat numbers are tracked from receiving to shipping.
- In-process inspection with calibrated gauges and on-machine probing, recorded against the operation. Blade and airfoil profiles are checked with the machine's built-in probing system before the part comes off the machine.
- Nonconformance control. Suspect parts are tagged, segregated and dispositioned, with a corrective action when the root cause calls for it.
- Certificate of conformance with every shipment.

ITAR and controlled technical data
We are ITAR compliant. Controlled technical data is handled only by authorized U.S. persons. If your drawing is export-controlled, tell us before you send it. Don't upload ITAR or EAR-controlled data through our website form. We'll arrange a secure way to receive it.
Frequently asked questions
Is JEP Manufacturing ISO 9001 or AS9100 certified?
Our quality management system is compliant with ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D, written and run to their requirements, with a quality manual, work instructions, nonconformance and corrective action logs, internal audits and supplier scorecards. Third-party certification is planned.
Do you provide first article inspection (FAI)?
Yes. FAI is included on new parts and new revisions. We send measurements and photos for your approval before running the full batch.
Do you provide a certificate of conformance?
Yes. A certificate of conformance ships with every order. Material test reports are traced by heat number and available on request.
What tolerances can you hold?
Our standard is ±0.005 in, and ±0.001 in is routine on critical features. We hold tolerances as tight as ±0.0002 in where the feature and material allow it, so tell us which features are critical.
Have a print or a STEP model?
Send it over. We review every RFQ by hand and include a lead time with every quote.
