In April 2018, Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation (EGAT) received certification (certificate number: 4151090) for the EN 9110:2016 Quality Management System from Bureau Veritas Certification (BVC), Taiwan. It is a major honor and achievement following the company being named best maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider by the US’s Aviation Week and Britain’s UBM. Receiving the EN 9110:2016 certification is significant for EGAT’s implementation of international aviation quality control standards, certification by clients and contractors, quality improvement, on-time delivery, cost reduction, and operations and management.

EN 9110:2016 refers to the standards of the international aerospace quality management system. Based on EN 9100, the aerospace quality standards, EN 9110:2016 consists of quality management standards specifically for the MRO industry. Known as AS 9110 in North America and JISQ 9110 in Japan, it is currently the most widely recognized set of international standards in the MRO industry. The compliance with the standards is one of the prerequisites for entering the aviation industry supply chain.

The aerospace industry has a global nature. However, demands and expectations differ among countries, regions, and clients, posing stiff challenges for quality management.

On the one hand, aerospace OEMs, working with numerous suppliers and contractors, are responsible for ensuring the quality of the products procured from suppliers around the world. On the other hand, suppliers, facing many different aerospace-industry clients, have to deliver products that meet different needs and expectations while handling the frequent second party audits by clients with different demands.

The AS/EN/JISQ 9100 standards cater to the needs of aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, subcontractors, and MRO businesses. The internationally recognized aerospace quality management system standards have established a unified set of optimal requirements for quality management. The trustworthy third-party certification institution carries out highly professional inspections and audits, which successfully replace the frequent second party audits that clients conduct on businesses.

EGAT’s EN 9110:2016 certificate was issued by Bureau Veritas Certification (BVC), Taiwan, part of Bureau Veritas Group, a globally renowned certification institution. Commissioned by the French government to provide airworthiness inspections since 1922, Bureau Veritas is an experienced institution currently providing aviation safety inspections for over 40 countries and issuing ANAB, UKAS, COFRAC and other certifications recognized by many countries. Working closely with Taiwan’s aviation industry, BVC Taiwan, along with EGAT, have joined A-Team 4.0 in order to collaborate with aerospace businesses to boost the competitiveness of Taiwan’s aerospace industry.

Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation inaugurated its 4th hangar on July 17, 2017. The ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony was jointly performed by Mr. Chang Kuo-hua, Evergreen International Corporation President Dai Jin-quan, EVA Air Chairman Steve Lin, EVA Air President Derek Chen, UNI Air Chairman Solomon Lin, Taoyuan International Airport Corporation Chairman Tzeng Da-ren, and Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation Chairman Chang Che-cheng.
