Caparo Testing Technologies’ Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) facility at Poole has recently undergone a stringent NADCAP audit and we are pleased to announce that the site was successful in retaining the aerospace industry’s benchmark accreditation for a further 2 years - the maximum supplier merit between audits.
Caparo Testing Technologies (CTT) is a market leading independent Non Destructive and Metallurgical Testing company with over 50 years of experience in providing a high quality, rapid response inspection service both in the UK and globally. These attributes have resulted in the company gaining an internationally acknowledged reputation for providing clients with the highest level of inspection services regardless of where the work is located.
The facility at Poole has a particular focus in the inspection of components delivered to site from clients in the aerospace and oil and gas industries. Using conventional NDT methods such as ultrasonics, penetrant, magnetic particle and radiography processes, Caparo Testing Technologies Poole invariably delivers consistent quality, integrity, fast turn-round times and competitive pricing.
The Performance Review Institute (PRI) administers the NADCAP program which is a scheme developed by Government and Industry to continually improve quality while reducing costs. It concentrates on promoting industry initiatives and performs as the main auditing, evaluating, and accrediting agency for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Prime Contractors (Primes), and suppliers to the aerospace industry. Therefore the recent successful audit undergone by CTT Poole is a clear demonstration of the commitment that Caparo place in meeting the rigorous standards required by this prestigious accreditation scheme.
John Lewis, the Test House Manager at the CTT Poole said, on receiving the news, "This is a great achievement for us. It demonstrates our dedication to integrity not only during the audit, but also to maintaining high standards of performance in the period between audits."
Andrew Ward, Managing Director of Caparo Testing Technologies, added, "We are a major player in aerospace Non Destructive Testing and we place a huge importance in providing the highest quality service to our customers. I am pleased that our commitment to excellence has been recognised by the recent NADCAP audit and would like to congratulate the entire team at Caparo Testing Technologies (Poole) for their hard work and dedication.”
