SGS Switzerland supports CT UAV to tighten aerospace quality standards at 5 factories and headquarters

CT UAV cooperates with SGS from Switzerland - the world's leading corporation in testing, inspection and certification to implement AS9100D and ISO 9001 quality management standards for CT UAV's headquarters and 5 factories.

CT UAV (a member of CT Group) and SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) from Switzerland jointly deploy international aerospace quality standards AS9100D, ISO 9001 for the entire operating system of headquarters, factory chains, research centers, quality product manufacturing processes...

SGS is the world's leading testing, inspection and certification group, considered the "gatekeeper" of quality in the world, with more than 145 years of experience, operating in more than 140 countries, owning more than 2,600 offices and laboratories, with more than 98,000 employees. The group achieved a revenue of 6.79 billion Swiss francs in 2024 (equivalent to 8.43 billion USD) and is headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland). With a leading role in the field of testing, inspection and certification, SGS is a trusted partner of thousands of corporations in the aviation, energy and high-tech industries.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nam Tran, Regional Director - Business Assurance Solutions, SGS Indonesia & Vietnam, shared: “ AS9100D is a very strict standard, requiring synchronization in management and people at the global level. We appreciate the efforts of CT UAV in choosing the path of international standardization - towards sustainable values .”

AS9100D is a quality management system standard developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and is recognized globally. This standard requires risk control, material traceability, supply chain monitoring and product safety assurance at a high level. However, the true value of AS9100D is only confirmed when it is assessed and certified by SGS, the most prestigious organization in the world.

ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality management systems, applicable to all types of businesses. ISO 9001 certification requires businesses to build standardized processes, control quality, evaluate management effectiveness and continuously improve. ISO 9001 not only helps CT UAV strengthen its quality management foundation but is also a prerequisite for implementing AS9100D, ensuring that processes from research, design, production... are transparent, effective and comply with international requirements.

CT UAV standardizing the entire system according to international aerospace standards under the supervision and support of SGS will ensure that the standards are tightened and affirm their true value. With SGS certification, the enterprise will not only meet the standards but also be "registered" in the international supply system. SGS representative expects CT UAV to become the first enterprise in the Vietnamese UAV industry to achieve AS9100D certification on a scale of the entire UAV production system. The entire standard is expected to be fully implemented within 6 - 12 months, creating a premise for domestic enterprises to learn the quality management model according to international aviation standards.

CT UAV has its headquarters at 20 Truong Dinh, District 3 (old), Ho Chi Minh City and has built 5 UAV factories at CT Group's concentrated digital technology park - CT High-tech R&D Center in Thuan An (on DT743 Avenue, near Ho Chi Minh City National University) to meet the rapidly growing demand of the world market for UAVs. CT UAV has prepared to invest in the world's No. 1 UAV technology complex - ASEAN Super Head Quarter in Hung Thuan commune, Tay Ninh province. The model of the ASEAN Super Head Quarter complex can be compared with the world's leading technology parks.

According to experts from SGS Vietnam, to achieve AS9100D standard, CT UAV must meet many extremely strict technical requirements and management processes, including risk management throughout the product life cycle, technical change control, material traceability, flight safety assurance and first sample testing. ISO 9001 plays a fundamental role in helping CT UAV standardize these processes, ensuring the overall quality management system operates effectively, transparently and continuously improves.

In the future, CT UAV aims to integrate AS9100D, ISO 9001 and ESG standards, aiming for a green production model, energy saving and sustainable development. Standardizing the system helps businesses increase productivity by up to 25%, reduce errors by more than 30%, save operating costs and improve absolute safety. This is a prerequisite when exporting to international markets such as the US, Europe and Japan...

With the support from SGS, the high determination of the CT UAV team and the support of CT Group, achieving AS9100D and ISO 9001 certification will be an important milestone when, for the first time, a Vietnamese UAV enterprise reaches the international aviation standard AS9100D, which is expected to lay the foundation for UAV production standards of the Vietnamese UAV industry.
