​Aerospace Quality Standard Certification

AS 9100 Improves Your BusinessThe Aerospace Quality standard is based on ISO 9001, with nearly 100 additional requirements specific to aerospace. AS 9100:2009 provides suppliers with a comprehensive quality system focused on areas directly impacting product safety and reliability in the aerospace industry, including: 

• Configuration Management - requires that a management discipline be applied over the life cycle of an aerospace product to provide visibility and control of its functional and physical characteristics 
• Design - ensures that design responsible organizations have a robust design process to meet safety and reliability requirements demanded by the aerospace industry
• Purchasing - requires suitable controls over the organization's entire aerospace supply chain
• Product Realization - ensures that each phase of product realization, from planning to shipment, is tightly controlled for delivery of conforming product
• Product Monitoring/Measurement - that defines requirements for product validation prior to shipment.

AS 9100 Gives Your Organization a Competitive AdvantageWhen your organization aligns to the aerospace AS 9100 standard, it not only reaps quality and efficiency benefits, but also is better able to meet customer expectations. Registration can also provide a competitive advantage by: 

• Aerospace Experienced Auditors (AEAs) identifying opportunities for operational improvements and cost reduction; 
• Improved audit and surveillance efficiency; 
• Reduced number of customer audits required, and a corresponding reduction in needed resources; 
• Enhanced supplier performance due to higher quality, waste reduction, and a customer satisfaction focus;
