CERTIFICATIONS

Birken Manufacturing became ISO 9002 Certified in 1998. This was a major milestone marking our strong commitment to continuous improvement in our quality control processes. Our ISO-9002 registration includes sheet-metal fabrication, precision assembly, precision machining, hot and cold metal forming, fusion (MIL-STD-1595A and PWA-16), resistance (MIL-W-6858 and PWA-15) and electron-beam welding, and pneumatic and hydraulic testing (MIL-L-26399).

Birken subsequently became AS 9100 Certified, providing more stringent quality and training requirements.

Birken’s Quality Policy stresses continuous improvement. By tracking quality issues and determining the cause of any quality problems we seek to institute corrective action to assure the issue never reoccurs. Our employees are encouraged to assist manufacturing and engineering by determining corrective action that will improve manufacturing precision, efficiency and provide value and quality for our customers. Birken's commitment is to to build on the trust that our customers have shown in us through state-of-the-art quality control and continuous improvement. Our quality system conforms to existing MIL-STD specifications.

In addition, we have also received approvals from NADCAP for Fluorescent Penetrant (FPI) and Magnetic Particle Inspections (MPI).
