AS 9100/ AS 9110/ AS 9120
The specific quality standard for the aerospace industry, is now an essential step, demonstrating throughout the supply chain that safety, reliability, and confidence are top of the priority list to success in the increasingly competitive Aerospace Industry and to meet customer expectations.
The Aerospace Quality Management System Standards, AS 9100, AS 9110, AS 9120, specific to the industry provide:
Internationally recognised frameworks for best practices
Addressing the unique needs of manufacturers, maintenance and repair operations and distributors
Providing multiple benefits to companies who chose to adopt the standards’ requirements.
These standards were developed to produce a harmonized platform to ensure that all operations in the supply chain are adhering to best practice. They include all the existing elements of ISO 9001 and a variety of aerospace sector-specific requirements.
The Aerospace standards seek to:
Improve customer satisfaction, quality & safety
Reduce costs & lower customer-unique requirements
Reduce the variation caused by multiple expectations
Reduce and streamline audits conducted along the aerospace supply chain.
AS 9100 has key aspects which include safety, airworthiness, product conformity and reliability in the aerospace industry. These quality requirements are crucial to aerospace OEMs, which maintain high levels of liability for their product.
AS 9110 focuses on the control of repair schemes and maintenance plans, configuration management, and the skills and qualifications necessary to perform MRO tasks within the aerospace community.
AS 9120 was developed for pass-through distributors of aerospace commodity items. This standard addresses chain of custody, traceability, control and availability of records.
Integration with other standards:
While AS9100 can be implemented as it has been based on ISO 9001. It is international recognition, and is an auditable standard which can be accredited by certification body. When a business already has ISO9001 in place, achieving AS9100 becomes much simpler. Quality Associates is an expert in system integration.
