AS 9100 - Aerospace Products Quality Management System

Because AS9100 is an industry-specific quality management system standard, it's mainly used by companies that provide products and services for the defense, space and aviation industries. The AS9100D standard applies to any organization that works in the aerospace industry or with partners in the aerospace industry, including:

  • Manufacturers of aircraft components and materials
  • Designers of aerospace parts and assemblies
  • Quality management organizations working with aerospace manufacturers
  • Other companies working in the aerospace industry regularly or irregularly

Though not required by law, AS9100 certification is often required for effective participation in the aviation, space and defense businesses. Certification to AS9100 standards can give you access to large OEMs and other parts of the supply chain.
