NADCAP Certified Companies
Last updated: January 2026
This directory lists 124 Nadcap certified companies across the United States, from specialized heat treatment facilities to comprehensive non-destructive testing (NDT) houses.
Buyers frequently seek these companies to ensure compliance with aerospace prime contractor mandates, particularly for critical processes like surface enhancement, specialty coatings, or materials testing. The primary problem solved is de-risking the supply chain against non-conformance for processes where the integrity of the component is paramount, often involving complex thermal processing profiles or strict chemical bath controls.
Nadcap certified suppliers typically specialize in various process families: heat treaters, chemical processors, NDT facilities, materials testing laboratories, and composite fabricators. Distinctions often arise from their specific AC codes, equipment size (e.g., vacuum furnaces for large airframe components vs. salt baths for smaller fasteners), and approvals for specific material groups like titanium, nickel alloys, or aluminum.
Buyers should arrive with their precise material specifications, process requirements (e.g., AMS 2750 for pyrometry, or specific tempering cycles), and any prime contractor flow-downs already mapped out. Suppliers expect detailed print packages, often including a P.O. that explicitly references the required Nadcap process (e.g., AC7101 for Heat Treating) and applicable revision level, along with any necessary material certifications or test reports.
A significant trend in this category is the increasing emphasis on digital data traceability and real-time process monitoring, driven by Prime contractors demanding greater transparency. This pushes suppliers towards integrating advanced sensor technology, automated data logging for parameters like temperature and pressure, and robust data management systems to provide a complete digital thread for every processed part.

How to Choose a Company
- Verify the supplier's Nadcap audit scope specifically covers the exact AC codes (e.g., AC7101 for heat treating, AC7108 for NDT, AC7109 for Coatings) and revision levels required for your application and material. A general certificate isn't sufficient.
- Assess their adherence to specific Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS standards), such as AMS 2750 for pyrometry conformity in heat treating, or relevant AMS specifications for chemical bath controls in plating.
- Confirm their capacity not just in terms of volume, but also equipment size and type. For instance, if your components are large, verify they have furnaces or tanks with the correct working zone dimensions and atmospheric control capabilities.
- Scrutinize their internal quality control procedures, especially around process control, calibration schedules, and documented training for critical personnel, beyond the basic Nadcap requirements.
- Inquire about their experience with your specific prime contractor's flow-down requirements and their understanding of nuances like source inspection stipulations or specific material review board (MRB) processes.
- Be wary of suppliers who are vague about their specific Nadcap audit results or unwilling to share their audit findings for relevant AC codes. Transparency here is crucial and indicates a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
- For applications involving proprietary designs or sensitive data, ensure the supplier has robust ITAR compliance protocols and physical security measures in place, especially if foreign national access is a concern.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a Nadcap supplier's specific process accreditation beyond just seeing their certificate?
You need to review their specific "Scope of Accreditation" document, which lists the exact AC codes (e.g., AC7101 for heat treating) and specific aerospace material specifications (AMS standards) they are approved for. This document is usually available on eAuditNet or directly from the supplier.
What's the significance of an AC code like AC7101 or AC7108 for heat treatment or NDT?
AC codes are specific audit criteria for different special processes. AC7101 applies to heat treating, detailing requirements for furnaces, pyrometry, and processes like carburizing or solution treatment. AC7108 covers Non-Destructive Testing methods such as FPI (Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection) or MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection). Matching the correct AC code to your required process is non-negotiable.
Can I use a Nadcap certified supplier for a non-aerospace application, or for a process not explicitly listed on their Nadcap scope?
Yes, you can utilize a Nadcap certified supplier for other applications. However, if the specific process you require is not covered by their Nadcap scope (i.e., not explicitly listed with a relevant AC code), that particular process will not be performed under their Nadcap accreditation. It will be treated as a commercial process, meaning Nadcap's stringent oversight does not apply to that specific operation.
How important is AMS 2750 pyrometry compliance for heat treating, and what should I look for?
AMS 2750 is critically important for heat treating as it dictates temperature uniformity, calibration, and testing requirements for furnaces and control systems. You should look for evidence of instrument calibration, temperature uniformity surveys (TUS), and system accuracy tests (SAT) performed at specified intervals and documented according to the AMS 2750 revision your process demands.
What does "prime contractor flow-down" mean in the context of Nadcap and why is it critical?
Prime contractor flow-down refers to the contractual and technical requirements (e.g., specific process specifications, quality clauses, or even approved sub-tier lists) that a prime aerospace manufacturer mandates be passed down through their entire supply chain, including to Nadcap certified processors. It's critical because non-compliance with these flow-downs can lead to rejection even if the supplier is generally Nadcap certified.
What's a common red flag when evaluating a Nadcap supplier for complex chemical processing (e.g., anodizing or plating)?
A common red flag is a lack of detailed documentation on bath analysis frequency, control limits, and corrective actions for out-of-spec conditions for their chemical processing lines. The integrity of these processes relies heavily on rigorous chemical control, and any vagueness here could indicate a risk to the quality and consistency of your finished components.
