FARMINGDALE,
NY (01-15-07): The
Federal Aviation Administration
has become the first federal
agency to achieve ISO 9001:2000
certification.
On October 16, the Federal
Aviation Administration's
(FAA) Aviation Safety
organization was recognized
as the first federal agency
to achieve certification
to the prestigious International
Organization for Standardization
"ISO 9001:2000"
quality management standard
of a single corporate
management system that
covers multiple services,
including national and
international sites encompassing
6,462 employees.
The Aviation Safety organization
began working toward ISO
9001:2000 registration
in 2001 and now operates
under a Quality Management
System (QMS) that provides
consistent, standardized
processes that assure
continual improvement,
value employee contributions,
and respond to changes
in the industry.
"EtQ is very excited
to see one of our customers
achieve such a milestone,"
says Glenn McCarty, CEO
of EtQ. "The FAA's
implementation of EtQ
and subsequent certification
to ISO 9001:2000 is a
true testament to how
standards such as ISO
9001 are important to
service agencies in the
public sector. Agencies
like the FAA are operating
their organization with
the same quality standards
as most private sector
businesses, and are experiencing
great results."
As a global leader in
aviation safety, the FAA
is operating like an integrated
business to ensure that
each FAA safety office
around the world provides
consistent service and
products to customers.
It is vital that the government's
aviation safety business
is held to the same high
standards as those it
regulates.
ISO is the world's
largest developer of voluntary
international standards
with a current portfolio
of more than 16,200. The
ISO 9000 family of standards
makes a positive difference,
not just to engineers
and manufacturers, but
to regulators, consumers
and end users, by targeting
quality management. For
