AS 9100 Aerospace Quality System Standard
Safety, airworthiness, product conformity and reliability are all key aspects of AS9100, the aerospace quality standard. These quality requirements are crucial to aerospace OEMs, which maintain high levels of liability for their product standard. Because product performance can be affected by a failure to handle parts and materials correctly, AS9100 addresses the complexity and diversity of the industry's supply chain. The standard takes into consideration the complete life cycle of aerospace products.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines individual manufacturing approvals through its Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and laws mandating compliance. Subsequently, AS9100 is rapidly becoming a prerequisite for doing production in the aerospace business, as many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) only work with suppliers that are certified to the aerospace standard. Also, many International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) member companies have deployed AS9100 within their own organizations.
AS9100 Improves Your Business
The aerospace quality standard is based on ISO 9001:2000, with nearly 100 additional requirements specific to aerospace. AS9100 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; and
