Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A: The “AS” stands for Aerospace Standard, and “9100” is the specific document number assigned by SAE International. AS9100 is a widely recognized quality management system standard specifically developed for the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries. It’s based on ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements focused on safety, risk management, product reliability, and regulatory compliance in high-risk sectors.
A: ISO 9001 is a general quality management standard applicable to any industry, while AS9100 builds upon it with aerospace-specific requirements. AS9100 includes all of ISO 9001’s elements but adds controls for areas like product traceability, configuration management, risk-based thinking, and supplier quality. If your business works in aerospace, AS9100 is essential for meeting industry expectations and gaining customer trust.
A: Getting AS9100 certified requires commitment, preparation, and leadership support—but it’s entirely achievable with the right guidance. The level of difficulty depends on the maturity of your current quality management system and how closely it aligns with AS9100 requirements. Working with an experienced quality consultant can make the process much smoother and more efficient.
A: The timeline can vary, but most organizations can expect the AS9100 certification process to take 6 to 12 months from initial planning to audit completion. This includes time for gap analysis, process updates, employee training, internal audits, and the final certification audit.
