PRESS RELEASE

GENOVA, JANUARY 25, 2021

NAVIRIS GAINS ISO AND AQAP CERTIFICATIONS

Naviris, the 50/50 owned joint venture by Fincantieri and Naval Group was officially awarded in January 2021 the ISO 9001:2015 and AQAP 2110 (NATO complementary regulation for major defense contractors) certification by Lloyd's Register.

These certifications are a further step towards the development of the joint venture, whose purpose is to manage export and cooperation programs for surface ship as well as naval R&D projects.

It was essential for Naviris to build a high standard Organization and Quality Management system to manage such complex and strategic projects.

This is now the case since Naviris in Genoa and its fully owned subsidiary Naviris France in Ollioules were awarded the ISO 9001:2015 and AQAP 2110 certifications by Lloyd's Register both in Italy and France.

The Organization and Quality Management system is already fully operative on the two contracts granted by the OCCAR:

• in June 2020, the R&T contract with the five Research tracks requested by France and Italy
• in July 2020, the Mid-Life Upgrade feasibility study for Horizon class frigate.

One of the important next steps for Naviris will be to contribute to new European projects. Naviris will be involved in the ambitious EPC European Patrol Corvette project in particular, as EU countries work together to build an innovative and modular design for the next decades. The project benefits from the effective support of European Commission through the European Defense Fund (EDF).
