The ISO 9001 standard is based on a certain number of quality management principles, including strong customer focus, motivation and commitment of top management, process approach and continuous improvement. TRONICO has been ISO 9001 certified since 2004, the Tame-Component laboratory is included in this certification.
EN 9100
The EN 9100 standard is a European standard that integrates the principles of ISO 9001 and addresses the entire supply chain of the aerospace and defense industries. EN 9100 is the equivalent of AS9100 (America) and JISQ 9100 (Asia). It certifies the reliability and quality of TRONICO's services for the design and manufacture of embedded products.
ISO 13485
The ISO 13485 standard is internationally recognized for quality management allowing for the implementation of regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and associated
services (DIR 93/42/EEC, DIR 98/79/EC, DIR 2007/47/EEC and DIR 90/385/EEC).
IATF 16949
The IATF 16949 standard deals with Quality management in the automotive industry. It describes the processes for the development and manufacturing of automotive components.
Nadcap Electronics
Tame-Component®, through TRONICO, is Nadcap Electronics certified. This certification is intended for the manufacturing process of electronic boards, developed by companies in the aerospace and defense markets. Its objective is twofold: to improve quality and reduce costs. Both production sites (St Philbert de Bouaine in France and Tangiers in Morocco) are Nadcap certified. The Tangier site is the first Nadcap Electronics certified site on the African continent.
CIR and CII approvals
Tame-Component, as well as the whole group, is approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, as an organization performing research and development (R&D) on behalf of companies. CIR approval recognizes the ability to carry out R&D work eligible for the research tax credit (CIR). The CII approval recognizes the ability to carry out work eligible for the innovation tax credit (CII). As a result, Tame-Component's customers can deduct certain invoices relating to R&D work from their CIR/CII tax base.
