THE Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) successfully passed its first surveillance audit conducted by TÜV Rheinland on Nov. 22.
TÜV Rheinland is a Germany-based global testing, inspection, and certification service provider.
With the approval, CIAC retained its ISO 9001:2015 certification, which assures the state-run aviation firm complies with international standards.
The audit confirmed CIAC’s management system complies with required legal, regulatory, and contractual standards. TÜV Rheinland’s review found no major or minor non-conformities, highlighting four positive findings and six opportunities for improvement.
It also examined CIAC’s estate management, and processing of lease of land and building and structures.CIAC president and CEO Jojit Alcazar said the certification reflects their commitment to maintaining global quality standards.
“The positive result has determined the effectiveness of CIAC’s Quality Management System, an essential tool needed to achieve our corporate objectives, including the realization of the seven flagship projects of the Clark Aviation Capital,” he noted.
ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems for organizations to consistently meet customer expectations while complying with regulatory requirements. Failure to meet the standards during the surveillance audits may result in the suspension or revocation of the certification.
CIAC first earned the certification in November 2023 and was required to pass surveillance audits during the second and third years of the certification cycle to maintain its status.
As the aviation and land development arm of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), CIAC oversees the 2,367-hectare Clark Aviation Capital that aims to become the country’s premier aviation business hub.
CIAC also manages oversight functions for Clark International Airport under the Department of Transportation.
