Government Regulations for Aerospace Parts Manufacturing
Intrex Aerospace is familiar and experienced with government regulations for aerospace parts manufacturing. We are ITAR compliant. We can supply machined components with the necessary certifications and documentation to meet the government standards.
If you’re a manufacturer involved in the aerospace industry, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is going to impact your business. These rules are designed to help the U.S. government maintain control over sensitive military technology by preventing both the physical components of these systems and the knowledge needed to manufacture them from being passed to non-U.S. citizens. These rules are highly relevant to almost every aerospace manufacturing company since even components for commercial aircraft may be ITAR controlled if they are essential for a military variant of the vehicle as well. Failure to comply with ITAR regulations can lead to a serious fine, revoked contracts, and potentially criminal charges, so any aerospace manufacturer needs to be cautious when outsourcing components controlled by the USML. Using an ITAR aerospace contract manufacturer provides a solution for supplying most outsourcing requirements.
To ensure compliance with ITAR, one of the key elements is to ensure everyone on staff is a U.S. citizen or qualifies for an exemption by meeting certain criteria for residency and by being independent of foreign influence. These restrictions may also apply to visitors at your facility or your guests, or employees with dual citizenship. Similar restrictions may apply to the businesses you work with if you rely on downstream suppliers. It’s important for any aerospace manufacturer to be able to demonstrate ITAR compliance throughout the supply chain, ensuring that every business is properly vetted and registered.
