AS9100 SERIES
What is AS9100?
AS9100 is the Quality Systems Aerospace Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Servicing. AS9100 was developed using the ISO 9001:2000 Standard and builds upon their requirements to produce a globally-harmonized standard that meets the requirements of aerospace companies worldwide. The first standard available for use across the global aerospace community, AS9100 adds the additional requirements necessary to address both civil and military aviation and aerospace needs.
What is AS9110?
AS9110 is the Quality Systems Aerospace Model for Quality Assurance in Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul of Aerospace Parts. AS9110 was developed using the ISO 9001:2000 Standard and builds upon their requirements to produce a globally-harmonized standard that meets the requirements of aerospace companies worldwide, in addition to the enhanced Regulatory requirements to which Aerospace Repair Stations are subjected to.

What is AS9120?
AS9120 is the Quality Systems Aerospace Model for Quality Assurance in Warehousing and Distribution of Aerospace Parts. AS9120 was developed using the ISO 9001:2000 Standard and builds upon their requirements to produce a globally-harmonized standard that meets the requirements of aerospace companies worldwide, in addition to the enhanced Regulatory requirements to which Aerospace Distributors are subjected to. AS9120 is for use by organizations that procure parts, materials and assemblies and sells these products to a customer in the aerospace industry. This includes organizations that procure products and split them into smaller quantities. This standard is not intended for organizations that rework or repair products. Organizations that perform work that affect or could affect product characteristics or conformity shall use AS9100 or another quality management system standard.
What is AS9003?
AS9003 is a US Standard, with no equivalent document in Europe nor Asia. It is meant to be used by smaller suppliers, providing non-critical, non-complex aerospace parts. AS9003 focuses on inspection and test as the means to “assure” product integrity.
Background/History
AS9100 was released in late 1999 by the SAE International. It is supported by the Americas Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG). The comparable European version EN9100 is supported by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). It addresses both "design" and "non-design" responsible companies.
Main Drivers
In view of the fact that safety and reliability are vital issues in the aerospace industry, the requirements for quality management are second to none. Manufacturers, suppliers and service organizations succeeding in this highly competitive global market are those who regard quality management as a key business driver. Independent AS9100 registration is a presentation of their commitment to quality, safety and reliability. Many large Aerospace OEMs have indicated that certification to the AS9100 document though the Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) process will result in less oversight of the suppliers. The Boeing Company has already indicated that they expect suppliers to be certified to AS9100. Check this link.
