A Quality Management System Built for High-Precision Industries

EN9100 is the globally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace, aviation, and space sectors, with stringent requirements for risk management, configuration control, traceability, and product safety. ISO 9001:2015, the world’s most adopted quality standard, provides a strong foundation for customer-focused, continuously improving operations. 

Achieving both certifications demonstrates that ALTEN China has established a unified, compliant, and globally aligned system—one capable of supporting the most complex engineering programs, whether in mobility, aerospace, semiconductors, or other high-precision industries.
