AS9100 - The New Benchmark for Aerospace Quality
Within the aerospace industry, companies have little choice whether to establish a quality management system.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines individual manufacturing approvals through its Federal
Aviation Regulations (FARs) and laws mandating compliance. Companies have a choice to implement a quality
management system that exceeds FAA requirements. That choice is rapidly becoming a prerequisite for doing
business, as many aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are demanding suppliers be certified to
the new AS9100 quality standard.
AS9100 Quality Systems - Aerospace - Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production,
Installation and Servicing focuses on aerospace requirements that support the FAA's FAR Title 14 Part
21 requirements. Safety, airworthiness, product conformity and reliability are key aspects. These quality
requirements are crucial to aerospace OEMs, which maintain a high level of liability for their product. Suppliers
must also demonstrate superior performance to succeed in today's competitive and cyclical aerospace market.
