NADCAP (formerly known as the National Aerospace and Defence Contractors Accreditation Programme) is an industry managed approach to conformity assessment of ‘special processes’.  The programme is administered by the Performance Review Institute (PRI).  PRI conduct an audit against an industry agreed standard using an industry agreed checklist.  NADCAP approval for special processes is a mandatory requirement for most of the aerospace industry primes including Rolls-Royce, Boeing and Airbus.

McBraida holds NADCAP approvals for the following special processes:

• Welding processes (brazing and silver soldering)
• Non-conventional machining (EDM wire-cut and solid sink)
• NDT (magnetic particle and dye penetrant inspection)
