At the beginning of 2009, AS/EN 9100 Revision C was launched (as well as revisions to AS/EN 9110 and AS/EN 9120).  These standards have been revised to:

• reflect changes as a result of the introduction of ISO 9001: 2008
• expand the scope of AS/EN 9100 to include not only Aviation, but also Space and Defence
• provide additional focus on IAQG objective of on-time / on-quality deliveries
• ensure AS/EN 9100 is compatible for use by all stakeholder segments and by organisations of all types and sizes
• ensure AS/EN 9100 continues to be recognised by authorities
• introduce risk management as an auditable topic

The impact on approved organisations

Our assessors will have finished mandatory training ready to assess to AS/EN 9100 C by August this year.  During this time, if you have developed your management system against the requirements of Revision C, you will need to demonstrate compliance to Revision B at your initial assessment. 

All certificate renewals after 1 July 2011 will be assessed against AS/EN 9100 C and by 1 July 2012 any AS/EN 9100 B certificates will cease to be valid.
