The AS 9100 family of standards is an ISO 9001 based standard with additions and interpretations specific to the aerospace industry. Emphasis is placed on areas deemed to have the greatest impact on safety, reliability and regulatory compliance for aerospace products.

Whether you are a stockist distributor, maintenance organisation or manufacturer working within the aerospace sector, LRQA can now provide you with the full range of certification services to AS/EN 9100, AS/EN 9110 and AS/EN 9120.

How can AS/EN 9100 benefit my organisation?

Certification to AS/EN 9100 offers benefits to suppliers that currently need to comply with more than one standard. This standard represents the harmonisation of the aerospace quality management system standards sponsored by many of the world’s largest aerospace companies including: Airbus Industry, The Boeing Company, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce.

This has significant benefits in helping reduce or eliminate multiple assessments with the additional benefits of reduction in disruption to the business, associated paperwork and costs.

Your next step

Certification is provided in accordance with the global IAQG certification scheme, AS/EN 9104 which applies only to aerospace products.  Assessments are conducted by specialist assessors who have been authenticated by the aerospace industry and registered on the IAQG Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS) database. They are conducted using an industry checklist based on the requirements of the relevant AS standard.

Customers will be left with a copy of the completed checklist following each assessment visit. Each visit is subject to a scoring system, the results of which are entered onto OASIS.
