AM Process Certification (AMC-QP, PBF-LB/M)

AM Process Certification (AMC-QP, PBF-LB/M)

What is ASTM AMC-QP?

ASTM AMC-QP is a certification that demonstrates the PBF-LB/M process is in compliance with ISO/ASTM 52904 and that the supplier conforms to requirements in ISO/ASTM 52901. 

This certification can be extended to other processes such as MEX and DED against applicable standards.
