CERTIFICATION
Proponent will deliver a customer’s shipment with a Proponent certificate of conformance. This document certifies that the parts have been produced under Federal Aviation Administration approved manufacturing and quality control systems/methods and are new and in airworthy condition. FAA 8130-3 is provided upon request.
If you are the design authority or a sub-contractor to them, a full certification package (i.e., sub-tier supplier certifications including material and processes) will be provided upon request. This request must be stipulated on the purchase order. In order to protect any proprietary data, sub-contractors must provide evidence of permission to obtain proprietary data. An additional charge may be assessed for a full cert package.
All other product will be delivered with a Proponent certificate of conformance. If a third party holds the FAA approval, a customer may request a copy of the manufacturer certificate of conformance and/or an FAA Form 8130-3 or ATA106.
For standard parts and raw material, a copy of the manufacturer certificate of conformance and/or a test report (a charge may be required) will be provided upon request.
