AS 9100 is an international quality management system and was written by the aerospace industry to improve quality and guarantee the structure of aerospace manufacturers. This EN 9100 standard in Europe; AS 9100 in the United States and SJAC 9100 in the Far East.
The standard is based on the tried and tested basic framework of ISO 9001 and has been supplemented with specific requirements demanded by civil/military aviation and space operations. This structure, ISO 9001 quality management system of organizations that; it allows them to implement the AS 9100 standard without having to make major changes. Furthermore, the AS 9100 presents an intense effort to establish a single standard across the global aviation/space production chain.
Certification to AS 9100 helps you optimize your organization’s supply chain and build mutually beneficial relationships with your suppliers. Working together, lead times and costs can be reduced, which ultimately trickles down to the consumer, improving satisfaction and winning new business.
The AS 9100 standard specifies the QMS requirements for certification and implementation by organizations that design, develop and manufacture aviation products. If the organization creates a Quality Management System that meets these requirements, it can invoke the AS 9100 Registry, resulting in an AS 9100 certificate.
In the field of aerospace technologies, which is one of the fundamental requirements of a sustainable and competitive economy, our country needs to determine the right vision, use the right tools and establish the right collaborations. This requires establishing a solid infrastructure in the field of space and aviation technologies, having financial resources, training the scientists who will carry out these studies, taking legal action, establishing the right systems and raising awareness in this regard.
Given the industry’s increasing responsibility, maintaining reliable technology of the highest standard is more important than ever. The globalization of the aerospace industry and the consequent diversity of regional and national requirements and expectations has further complicated this objective.
