What’s Happening
The High-Speed Propulsion Lab (ZL9) at Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories has become the first research facility at Purdue University to earn the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 9001 standard for quality management systems certification.
Previously granted to only about 50 other organizations affiliated with a U.S. university, this globally recognized certification enables the lab to more easily collaborate with partners in the highly regulated defense and aerospace industries.
The standard requires certified organizations to adopt a quality management system (QMS) — a collection of policies and procedures that help meet regulations and establish customer trust.
