ISO Certifications: AS9100 and ISO 9001, ITAR Registration

Certified Quality Systems for High-Performance Applications

Stockwell Elastomerics maintains a robust quality management system certified by NQA, a leading global ISO certification body, to AS9100:2016, which includes ISO 9001:2015 requirements.*

These internationally recognized standards ensure disciplined processes, risk management, traceability, and continuous improvement—especially critical for customers operating in regulated and mission-critical environments.

Certification Scope

Stockwell Elastomerics’ AS9100 / ISO 9001 certification applies to:

Custom fabrication, die cutting, and molding of silicone rubber and similar high-performance elastomers for the technology sector, including:

• Aerospace and Defense
• Medical Diagnostic Equipment
• Analytical Instrumentation
• Advanced Electronics and Ruggedized Systems
• Industrial and High-Reliability Applications

What AS9100 and ISO 9001 Mean for Our Customers

Both AS9100 and ISO 9001 are structured Quality Management Systems (QMS) that require:

• Documented and repeatable manufacturing processes
• Risk-based thinking and mitigation planning
• Full material and process traceability
• Internal and external audits by certified bodies such as NQA
• Ongoing performance measurement and continual improvement

AS9100 builds upon ISO 9001 by adding stringent requirements specific to aerospace and defense, including product safety, configuration control, and counterfeit-part prevention.

Materials Expertise Backed by Process Discipline

Silicone rubber materials and related high-performance elastomers are the core of Stockwell Elastomerics’ business.
Because customers often rely on us for fast-turn prototypes and early production runs, we maintain:

• A broad inventory of materials across many grades, densities, durometers, and thicknesses
• Lot-level traceability back to the original material manufacturer
• Controlled material handling to preserve performance integrity

Inventory Control & Traceability

To support both rapid delivery and strict quality requirements:

• Materials are stocked in depth to enable responsive manufacturing schedules
• All materials are traceable to supplier production lots
• Regular inventory audits remove materials and adhesives beyond shelf life
• Controlled storage ensures product performance is never compromised

Equipment Readiness & Preventive Maintenance

Production equipment and capacity are maintained through a structured preventive maintenance system, ensuring:

• Consistent manufacturing capability
• Reduced process variation
• Reliable delivery performance
• Sustained compliance with certification requirements
