Nadcap accreditation is an assessment process focused on establishing conformity throughout the industry. Passing a Nadcap audit means that the company has met or exceeded the highest quality standards in the industry. This is considered by most heat treaters to be both a significant company-wide accomplishment and a benchmark as to their commitment to quality.

An excerpt:
“I just want to convey what I have seen in the heat treating realm regarding Nadcap accreditation. I also want to state upfront that if your company plans on aggressively pursuing aerospace part processing, it is always preferable to have your AS9100 and Nadcap accreditations in place. My basic point to convey is that, in my humble opinion, it is not always necessary to have a Nadcap accreditation to actually process aerospace parts. Why would I make such a “treasonous” quality claim? Let me share two real examples that I have witnessed, and perhaps you have also witnessed.”
