AS 9100: AEROSPACE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

AS 9100 is the international management system standard for the aviation, space and defence (AS&D) industries. It’s part of a series of standards, operated by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), that includes AS 9110 (Aerospace Quality Management – maintenance) and AS 9120 (Aerospace Quality Management – stockists and distributors).

The standard was first published in 1999 and was last updated in 2016 to ensure continued alignment with ISO 9001, the quality system standard upon which it is based, but with additional requirements designed to address safety, reliability and regulation specifically within the AS&D industries.

AS 9100 is intended to help suppliers, manufacturers and service providers, wherever they may be in the supply chain and whatever their size, to demonstrate that they operate to high levels of safety and quality – factors of paramount importance in this complex, fast-paced and competitive industry.
