Irvine, California - September 9, 2026 - ETAP, a global leader in electrical digital twin solutions, today announced it has successfully completed a supplier audit conducted by the Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC) with “zero findings”. The assessment verified the ETAP quality management system, software development activities, engineering processes, configuration management, procurement controls, document control, and corrective action program against the requirements of ASME NQA-1, one of the nuclear industry's most rigorous quality assurance standards.

The Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC) conducts supplier audits on behalf of the commercial nuclear industry, reducing the need for individual utility audits while promoting a consistent approach to supplier qualifications. By evaluating suppliers against the requirements of ASME NQA-1, NIAC helps ensure consistent quality assurance oversight while reducing redundant qualification efforts across one of the most demanding industries.

Customers rely on ETAP to design, operate, and optimize mission-critical electrical systems where software quality, engineering rigor, and long-term reliability are essential. Successfully completing the NIAC supplier audit provides independent confirmation of the disciplined engineering and quality practices embedded throughout the ETAP organization. Although the assessment is performed for the commercial nuclear sector, it validates standards of excellence that benefit all ETAP customers, both within and beyond the nuclear industry. The same rigorous development, verification, configuration management, and quality assurance processes support every ETAP solution, helping utilities, industrial operators, EPCs, transportation networks, data centers, government organizations, and other critical infrastructure stakeholders operate with confidence.

"Quality is not just a requirement at ETAP - it is a core value that guides every stage of our software development lifecycle," said Tanuj Khandelwal, Chief Executive Officer at ETAP. “This independent assessment reinforces our customers' confidence that ETAP solutions are developed with the rigor, reliability, and discipline required to support the world's most critical infrastructure."

"Achieving zero findings in the NIAC audit validates the effectiveness of our Quality Assurance Program, the maturity of our engineering processes, and the unwavering commitment of our employees to excellence. We are proud to continue supporting the nuclear industry with solutions developed under a robust quality framework based on NQA-1." adds Jennifer Marinas, Director of Quality Assurance at ETAP.

For customers across every industry ETAP serves, maintaining qualification through the NIAC audit process supports supplier oversight, strengthens software traceability and configuration management, and helps reduce project and implementation risk. At a time when organizations increasingly seek technology partners that can demonstrate both innovation and operational maturity, this achievement further recognizes ETAP as a trusted provider of solutions used by engineers for critical infrastructure worldwide.
