Overview: AS9100 was released in 1999, and was based on ISO 9001. As many different organizations wanted a standard for their industry, ISO 9001 did not cover all of the aspects needed to ensure safe materials and manufactured goods were acceptable for their aerospace applications. AS9100 takes the ISO 9001 requirements and supplements them with additional quality system requirements, which are established by the aerospace industry in order to satisfy DOD, NASA and FAA quality requirements. The intent of AS9100 is to establish a single quality management system for use within the aerospace industry. Just as ISO 9001 has been updated to new and improved versions over the years, so has AS9100. Luckily the standards have run parallel to provide a more uniform system for organization to follow. This ensures that many QMS systems can remain streamlined, opposed to being segmented between the standards. If your organization wishes to venture into the aerospace realm, then it could also consider the different standards within 9100. ISO 9001 was created to fit any organization, and then the organization could tailor their systems to the standard. With 9100, there are specifics that now are available. Such as AS9120 - Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Distributors. This is an aerospace standard that adds specific requirements that are relevant for specific retailers or pass-through distributors. AS9110 adds specific requirements that are critical for the maintenance of commercial, private, and military aircrafts. This standard defines the quality system requirements based on AS9100 and includes additional criteria for maintenance repair and overhaul facilities (MRO's) serving the aircraft industry. The industry has moved toward requiring their subcontractors and suppliers to be AS9100 compliant and/or certified. By becoming registered to AS9100 or by conforming to the standard, suppliers can gain a competitive advantage and benefit from the improved processes and continuous improvement that is the foundation of ISO 9001 certified Quality Management Systems.
