Certifications and Documentation
At Magnus Machining, compliance is the foundation of our manufacturing capability. Our certifications and registrations ensure that every project—from initial design data to final component delivery—meets the highest global standards for quality, security, and integrity.
These certifications validate our process rigor and commitment to manufacturing excellence in critical industries.
| Certification | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| AS9100D | The internationally recognized QMS standard for the Aviation, Space, and Defense (AS&D) industries, encompassing all ISO 9001 requirements plus critical aerospace-specific additions like configuration management and risk assessment. | Aerospace-Grade Reliability: Components are manufactured under the most rigorous controls required for flight safety and mission-critical applications, ensuring process adherence and material traceability down to the raw stock. |
| ISO 9001:2015 | The global standard for a Quality Management System (QMS), establishing a documented framework to consistently provide products that meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate continuous process improvement. | Consistent, Audited Processes: Ensures every stage of your project, from quoting to inspection, is governed by repeatable, audited, and optimized processes, leading to consistent part quality and predictability. |
These registrations and standards demonstrate our legal authorization and technical capability to protect sensitive, government-controlled data and components.
| Certification / Standard | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| ITAR | International Traffic in Arms Regulations. U.S. government regulations controlling the manufacture, export, and temporary import of defense-related articles, services, and technical data (U.S. Munitions List). | Legal Handling of Defense Articles: We are legally registered and authorized to handle and process sensitive components and technical data for military, defense, and space applications without risk of unauthorized technical transfer. |
| JCP | Joint Certification Program. A program run by the U.S. and Canadian Departments of Defense that certifies contractors for access to unclassified U.S. DoD technical data necessary for manufacturing military components. | Authorized Access to Necessary Data: Certifies our clearance to receive and utilize the detailed, unclassified technical specifications and drawings essential for accurately producing parts for the defense industrial base. |
These standards define the robust security controls we implement to safeguard your proprietary and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
| Certification / Standard | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| NIST 800-171 | National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication. Specifies the security requirements for non-federal organizations that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on behalf of the U.S. government. | CUI and IP Protection: Establishes the robust technical and procedural safeguards (e.g., access control, encryption, monitoring) implemented to secure your sensitive design files (CAD, engineering specs) from cyber threats and unauthorized access. |
| CMMC Cybersecurity | Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. A unified standard required by the U.S. DoD for contractors (DIB) to enforce specific cybersecurity practices and processes to protect CUI and Federal Contract Information (FCI). | Defense-Ready Security Posture: Provides a mandatory, auditable framework that verifies our cybersecurity maturity level, ensuring our systems are adequately fortified to protect your mission-critical data in accordance with DoD requirements. |

This documentation provides complete objective evidence of quality and conformance for every component, ensuring accountability and traceability. Our environmental compliance assures responsible material sourcing and usage.
These are the official records we provide with your order to verify that the components meet all specified requirements.
| Document / Standard | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| Certificate of Conformance (CoC) | A formal, signed document certifying that the manufactured parts meet all applicable requirements outlined in the purchase order (PO), specifications, and drawings. | Official Verification of Compliance: Provides contractual assurance that the parts were produced and inspected according to your exact requirements and specifications. |
| Dimensional Inspection Report | A detailed, point-by-point record of the measurements taken on the finished part, often performed with standard metrology tools like micrometers, calipers, and height gauges. | Guaranteed Feature Accuracy: Verifies that critical dimensions, tolerances, and geometric features (GD&T) of the component are within the specified limits prior to shipment. |
| CMM Inspection Report | A data report generated by a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), which uses a highly precise probe to automatically measure the physical geometric characteristics of a part in three dimensions. | High-Precision Metrology: Offers the highest level of accuracy and repeatability for complex components and tight-tolerance features, providing objective, non-contact, and digital proof of compliance. |
| First Article Inspection (FAI) | A complete, formal inspection and verification process of the first component or batch of a new production run, documented typically using the AS9102 standard form. | Manufacturing Process Validation: Proves that all necessary processes, tools, and documentation are in place and capable of producing a compliant part before full-scale production begins, eliminating risk in large runs. |
These records verify the quality and composition of the raw materials used in your components.
| Document / Standard | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| Material Certificate | Documentation provided by the raw material supplier (mill or distributor) that verifies the material’s identity, physical properties, and chemical composition (e.g., alloy, grade, heat lot number). | Confirmed Material Integrity: Guarantees that the specific material requested (e.g., 6061-T6 aluminum, 316 stainless steel) was sourced and confirms it meets the required industry standard specifications. |
| Material Test Report (MTR) | A detailed report, typically accompanying the Material Certificate, that presents the results of specific destructive or non-destructive tests (e.g., tensile strength, yield strength, hardness) performed on the material lot. | Validated Performance Properties: Verifies that the material’s mechanical and chemical properties meet the engineering requirements, ensuring the final part will perform as designed under its operational loads. |
These standards ensure the components comply with international restrictions on hazardous substances.
| Document / Standard | What It Is (Definition) | What It Means for Your Projects |
| RoHS | Restriction of Hazardous Substances. A directive originating in the EU that restricts the use of specific hazardous materials (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium) in electrical and electronic products. | Global Market Compliance: Ensures your manufactured components are free from regulated toxins, which is essential for components integrated into electronic assemblies intended for sale in the EU and other international markets. |
| REACH | Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals. An EU regulation addressing the production and use of chemical substances, requiring manufacturers to register and provide safety information for all chemicals used in components. | Chemical Safety and Transparency: Guarantees compliance with a rigorous chemical safety standard, providing necessary transparency regarding the substances used in your components, which is critical for health, safety, and environmental stewardship. |
