Kejin Bearing’s Spherical Plain Bearing Testing Center has successfully obtained Nadcap‑NDT certification.

In October, the Kejin Joint Bearing Testing Center successfully passed the Nadcap special-process system audit organized by the U.S.-based PRI (Process Review Institute), an independent third-party review association, and officially obtained the Nadcap‑NDT (Nondestructive Testing) certificate issued by PRI. Nadcap stands for the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program. It is a certification system initiated and developed jointly by major U.S. aerospace and defense industry players, the U.S. Department of Defense, SAE, and other organizations, specifically designed to accredit specialized products and processes within the aerospace industry. On September 6–7, 2022, auditors conducted an on-site Nadcap‑NDT (Nondestructive Testing) audit of Kejin Bearings. The audit covered all routine testing procedures, including low-magnification inspection, hardness testing, mechanical property testing, metallographic analysis, and instrument-based evaluations. Facing the rigorous challenges of Nadcap international accreditation, the testing center responded proactively, integrating Nadcap requirements into the work instructions and daily operations for each testing item, earning high praise from the auditors. This successful attainment of Nadcap‑NDT certification signifies that the Joint Bearing Testing Center’s nondestructive testing capabilities and quality management standards now meet the international qualifications required for aerospace material testing.
