What is AS9100?

AS9100 is the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry. It had long been considered by a variety of entities (e.g. the Federal Aviation Administration), that the ISO 9000 series of standards were inadequate in terms of ensuring quality and safety in the “high risk” aerospace industry. ISO 9001 is deeply rooted within AS100 with additional requirements applied specifically to aviation safety concerns.

There is now a family of the AS9100 Standards applicable to different areas within the aerospace industry which include the following:

AS 9101 – Quality System Assessment
AS 9102 – Aerospace First Article Inspection Requirements
AS 9104 – Standard for overall control of Aerospace Scheme
AS 9110 – Requirements for Maintenance Organizations
AS 9120 – Requirements for Stockiest and Distributors
