Celebrating 20 Years! – Quality Committee
ASA established its Quality Committee in the summer of 1993. It began as just a small committee within the association, and has grown to be viewed in the industry as the network of quality among aftermarket parts suppliers around the world. The committee meets twice a year as a global forum for both sharing information about challenges and solutions with quality and business practices, as well as to discuss continuous improvement of ASA’s own accreditation program, the ASA-100 quality standard. The next Quality Committee meeting will be held during the 2013 ASA Annual Conference, July 8th. Separate pre-registration is required and can be done at http://www.aviationsuppliers.org/QAC-July13.

Misuse of ASA Trademark
ASA recognizes the value of ASA’s logos for users, and ASA actively protects the Association name and benefits given to its members. There are three different logos, all of which are trademarked: ASA Membership, ASA-100 Accreditation and ASACB. If you see any company using one of ASA's logos illegally, please report them to us and we will determine the best course of action. In addition to checking the Member Directory and ASA-100 list, please visit the Illegal Use of Logo page if you have questions about a company claiming affiliation to ASA.
