AS9100 2016: On the heels of ISO

AS9100 is the international management system standard for the Aircraft, Space and Defense (AS&D) industry. The standard provides suppliers with a comprehensive quality system for providing safe and reliable products to the aerospace industry. AS 9100 also addresses civil & military aviation requirements.

as9100_overviewAS9100C is based on the ISO 9001 standard, and in fact, includes 100% of the requirements of ISO 9001 and includes over 100 additional requirements specific to the aerospace industry. Being registered to AS9100 means being registered to ISO 9001 by default, however, many companies choose to maintain both certifications primarily due to this misunderstanding with their non-aerospace customers.

 

In future blogs we will discuss the timeline, major changes, and implementation strategies.
