Experts in AS9100 Certification Consulting and Training

AS 9100 is a Standard that defines the requirements of a Quality Management System specially designed for the aerospace industry. The AS 9100 Standard was first published and organizations began to get certification in the late 1990s. AS 9100 is  based on the ISO 9001 Quality Management System, however the AS9100 standards include supplementary requirements for quality and safety for aerospace manufacturers and support organizations. AS 9100 Revision D is the latest update of the standard and it includes requirements for risk management. 

The AS 9100 Standard is designed for organizations that cater to space, defense, and aviation industries. The standard can be applied across the Supply Chain. It is intended that AS 9100 be used by the organizations involved in designing, development, and production of space, defense, and aviation products, as well as the organizations that offer post-delivery support.
