ISO 9001:2015 & AS9100-Certified Metal Supplier

WHAT IS AN ISO CERTIFICATION?

ISO certifications indicate that a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure has all the requirements for standardization and quality assurance set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

WHY DO METAL CERTIFICATIONS MATTER?

Maintaining consistency and quality is critical across the metal industry. Having an ISO-certified metal supplier is the key to quality assurance for your project and compliance with industry-specific regulations, like automotive and aerospace.

MEAD METALS QUALITY MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATIONS

Mead Metals is proud to be current with the latest AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications for aerospace quality management. Here’s what that means:

ISO 9001:2015

ISO refers to the International Organization for Standardization. The number appearing after ISO classifies the standard. ISO 9001 is among ISO's best-known standards, defining the criteria for meeting quality management principles. The final number represents the calendar year the standards were launched. 2015 is the fifth and latest edition of ISO 9001.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certification ensures rigorous quality management across our entire metal supply chain, from material sourcing and inspection to processing and delivery. This certification validates our commitment to consistent quality procedures, documentation control, and continuous improvement processes that directly benefit manufacturing, electronics, and industrial customers requiring precision metal products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does ISO certification matter when choosing a metal supplier?

ISO certification means your supplier operates under a documented quality management system — not just good intentions. For purchasing managers and quality engineers, it means fewer surprises: material that meets spec, documentation that holds up under audit, and a process that's repeatable order after order. Mead has been ISO certified since 1998 because consistent quality isn't optional for the manufacturers we serve.

How do I verify Mead's current certifications?

Our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certificates are available on this page and on request. If you need documentation for a supplier qualification or audit, contact your sales rep and we'll provide it promptly.

What is the difference between ISO 9001 and AS9100?

ISO 9001:2015 is the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems — it covers consistency, traceability, and continuous improvement across any industry. AS9100 builds on ISO 9001 and adds requirements specific to the aerospace and defense sectors, including more rigorous risk management, configuration control, and product traceability. Mead Metals holds both, which means our quality processes meet the most demanding standards in the industry.

Does Mead Metals provide material certifications with orders?

Yes. Material certifications are available with every order. Full documentation — including heat lot traceability — ships with your material so your receiving team has what it needs before the metal hits your floor. All part of the Mead Edge and our level of service.
