SafetyInspection and Quality
Customer Assurance
ISO 9001 has streamlined our quality inspections, improved decision-making, and encouraged a culture of continuous improvement. ISO 9001 is our way of assuring our customers that we take quality seriously. It’s a valuable tool for maintaining our competitiveness and ensuring that every product or service we provide meets high-quality standards. As part of ISO 9001 we adhere to an AQL percentage at the point of spinning with that percentage being defined by the Quality Manager.
Standard inspection points:
- ID or OD measurement
- Overall height
- Straight flat length
- Radius
- Spherical
- Post spinning material minimum thickness
We also use a pass/fail gauge to quickly and accurately determine whether a component or product meets our customer demands.
We offer Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), First Article Inspection Report (FAIR), Samples run inspections along with our own standard inspections. Additional inspection requirements will be considered with all orders.

Top things we get asked
ISO 9001 is an international quality management standard that ensures processes are consistent, reliable, and customer-focused. At Tanfield, it helps us maintain high standards in every product and service we provide.
By providing a structured framework, ISO 9001 streamlines inspections, reduces errors, and promotes continuous improvement, ensuring that every component meets specified requirements.
Standard inspection points include ID/OD measurements, overall height, straight flat length, radius, spherical features, and post-spinning minimum material thickness.
The Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) defines the maximum number of defects allowed in a batch. Our Quality Manager sets the AQL for each project to ensure components meet customer expectations.
We use a combination of precision measurement instruments, pass/fail gauges, and quality software to verify components quickly and accurately.
Yes. In addition to standard inspections, we offer Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) reports, First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), and sample run inspections as requested.
All components are fully traceable, with records of materials, inspections, and approvals maintained to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring accountability and compliance.
Absolutely. We can adapt inspections, tolerances, and reporting to meet the unique requirements of your project or industry.
Robust inspection ensures issues are caught early, reducing rework and delays. This helps us consistently deliver projects on time and within specification.
Tanfield combines ISO 9001-certified processes, experienced operators, and precision inspection tools to deliver reliable, high-quality components that meet even the most demanding specifications.
