Ft. Lauderdale, FL - GA Telesis

pleased to announce that it has successfully passed its
audit by QMI and its quality system is now certified to
AS9120:2002; the highest level of organizational and
quality assurance certification standard available for

aerospace-specific requirements that are identified
within the body of the standard. This new standard

internally within the company or externally by a
customer.
AS9120 is based on AS9100 and adds specific requirements
that are relevant for stockist or pass-through
distributors in the aerospace industry. This standard
is applicable for organizations that resell, distribute,
and warehouse parts found in aircraft and other
aerospace components.

standard makes certain that our customers receive only
the highest quality products and services available,”
said Abdol Moabery, President, & CEO of GA Telesis. “We
