Metal Finishing Certifications
At Novation, we care about quality and attention to detail. For more than 35 years as a certified metal finishing company, we’ve enjoyed an excellent reputation for our precision metal finishing processes. As you would expect from an industry leader, we adhere to strict quality requirements and maintain metal finishing certifications with internationally trusted organizations.
RoHS Compliance
Many of our processes meet the EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS), commonly necessary for electronic parts production and electric components. RoHS compliance is a must for many industries:
- Aerospace
- Defense
- Consumer goods
- Medical device manufacturing
- Telecommunications
We can follow RoHS-compliant processes for type II (sulfuric acid) and type III (hardcoat) anodizing, type II chem film conversion coatings, and many other plating processes.

Nadcap Certification and ITAR Compliance
The National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program is a lengthy accreditation program that requires ongoing compliance with rigorous quality guidelines. As the name suggests, Nadcap certification applies principally to the aerospace, aviation, UAV, and defense industries. At Novation, our Aerospace processes are fully Nadcap certified, and we work extensively with businesses, such as CNC machine shops and OEM parts manufacturers that require Nadcap certified processes.
Some of our Nadcap-approved processes include:
- Passivation (for AMS 2700, ASTM A967, and SAE AMS QQ-P-35)
- Boric Sulfuric Acid Anodize
- Type I and II Anodize
- MIL-DTL-5541 Chem film conversion coating
- Non-destructive testing
For defense projects, all of our processes and data management meet ITAR requirements.
