Straight answers

Is BBC ISO 9001 or AS9100 registered?
No. BBC holds an FAA Repair Station certificate under FAR 145. That is an airworthiness approval, not a quality-system registration — they are different things, and we would rather tell you that plainly than let the distinction blur. If your programme requires AS9100 or ISO 9001 specifically, tell us early.
What does the FAA approval actually mean for my part?
It means the way we organise, train, document and inspect is developed in accordance with FAR 145, and it is what allows aviation work in the building. The AMS and ASTM specifications we plate, spray and inspect to sit under that framework.
Can I see the manuals?
Ask. Contact us and we will work out what your quality organisation needs.
