WHAT IS AAR?Â
AAR is the Association of American Railroads. Members include the major freight railroads in the United States, Canada and Mexico, as well as Amtrak. Based in Washington, DC, the AAR is committed to keeping the railroads of North America safe, fast, efficient, clean, and technologically advanced.Â
The AAR has updated the AAR M-1003 Specification for Quality Assurance to Reflect Similar Requirements of The ISO 9000 Standards.Â
The up to date edition of Specification M-1003, Section J for Quality Assurance, covers the requirements for AAR’s approval of products, services, and materials. These include “new and reconditioned components.” The specification was developed to ensure safety, interchangeability, and cost effectiveness of manufactured materials, products, and services.Â
Benefits of being AAR M-1003 CertifiedÂ
The quality requirements and continued reduction of variation and waste, which SEI obtains as a result of being certified, are essential to the final customer, supply base, and certified organization.Â
How does our AAR M-1003 certification help our clients?Â
Because it helps our clients be the best.Â
Sherwood Electromotion’s AAR M-1003 certification requires an adherence to a high standard of technologically advanced practices. Continually meeting and surpassing these standards is a direct benefit to our clients because these same practices are incorporated directly into the products and services we produce for our clients, placing our clients at the very benchmark of excellence.
