In particular, the NAS and AMS family of standards are highlighted as well as how the Procurement Standard is used in conjunction with the Product Standard.

It is likely more helpful to those new to the industry or who seldom use standards - but will also serve as a good refresher to those with many years of experience since fastener standards always evolve. • Quality, engineering or materials team members • Technical sales professionals • Anyone tasked with quoting products • Employees who use standards PRICING Early bird pricing is available for $575 per day or $1150 for both days if combined with Workmanship - What is it and Why is it Important for Aerospace Fasteners on Monday, February 16.
