Reaching new heights in the aerospace industry
Overview
Quality and reliability are critical values for the aerospace industry. In an environment where the mistakes or failure of products or services can be fatal, the effective operation of a quality management system plays an essential role in helping to reduce risks and provide a reliable framework for organizations to provide a product or service.
Quality management systems have been used in the aerospace industry for many years. Efforts by members of the aerospace industry to establish a single common Quality Management System resulted in AS9100, 9110, 9120. They are used and supported by the world's leading aerospace companies and also throughout their supply chain partnerships.
- AS9100 - Quality Management System Requirements for Design and/or Manufacture of Aerospace Products
- AS9110 - Quality Management System Requirements for Maintenance Organizations
- AS9120 - Quality Management System Requirements for Stockist Distributors
In the US market we can also perform two additional types of assessment which are unique to the Americas region:
- AS9003 Inspection & Testing
- AS9006 Aerospace Deliverable Software Supplement to AS9100 standards.
The Aerospace Standards are a series of specific standards based on ISO 9001 and developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to provide international consistency and address the specific regulatory, safety and reliability requirements demanded by the aerospace sector.
Who are they relevant to?
The aerospace series of standards cover the complete spectrum of organizations working within the aerospace sector, from design and manufacture to maintenance organizations and stockist distributors.
