Quality
 

The YLA Quality system was designed to ensure that products meet the highest level of quality throughout the entire product life -- from delivery to certification schedules as well as any modifications after the product is in production.

Customer satisfaction is YLA’s number one priority—whether developing products for basic recreational equipment or complex satellite and aerospace programs. The YLA Quality System has been audited/approved by all major aerospace primes and sub-contractors and has received successful ISO 9001 audits with EU contractors and is ISO 9001 compliant (Cert 6/07).

YLA maintains its rigorous Quality programs with a full spectrum of product testing, ranging from physical and chemical tests for resins, fibers and prepegs, to mechanical testing of laminates from cryogenic to elevated temperatures. Highly accurate physical testing of resin content, fiber/fabric areal weight, volatile content, flow track/drape, resin/fiber density, viscosity, conductivity, and others are routinely performed. YLA also supports a full range of analytical and mechanical testing of high strength and modulus composite laminates.
