Mangaluru: Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL) is certified to the AS9100:D, Standard of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to assure customer satisfaction in Aviation, Space and Defence Organisations.

The scope of this certification is  “Production, Storage, Testing and Distribution of Aviation Turbine Fuel“. MRPL IS India’s first Refinery to meet this new aerospace standard.

The aerospace industry demands the utmost precision, reliability, and safety in its supply chain. As a certified organization, MRPL is now well-positioned to serve as a trusted partner to aerospace companies within India and globally.

The AS9100:D standard ensures the interaction and configuration of various processes, from sourcing raw materials to the final product certification.

The certification process involved a stage audit of the entire life cycle of ATF, involving production criticalities like the addition of qualified additives and catalysts, standardization of production processes, transfer through a dedicated pipeline network, ensuring fuel devoid of Foreign Object Detection (FOD) in storage tanks, followed by certification and distribution to customers.

MRPL’s newly acquired certification to the AS9100:D standard is expected to give it leverage to expand its presence in the aerospace sector.
