EN/AS 9100

Safety first. It could well be the motto for players in the aerospace industry. Safety is an issue that’s always uppermost in their minds.


Protecting their interests is fundamental. So when it comes to suppliers, industry-specific requirements need to be met. This entails providing third-party certification to demonstrate Quality Management System (QMS) conformity.


TÜV SÜD can help you gain the internationally recognised series of quality system standards specific to the aerospace industry: AS/EN9100.


The AS/EN9100 series is strongly supported and adhered to by major aerospace manufacturers. If you want to do business with them, you need to have it. Based on ISO 9001:2000, it places particular emphasis on quality, safety and technology. All areas of the industry and the supply chain are included.


The series consists of AS/EN9100 (OEM and Parts Suppliers), AS/EN9110 (Maintenance Organisations) and AS/EN9120 (Distributors of Aerospace-related materials, hardware and components).


In other words, everything you need to satisfy your safety-conscious customers and secure a successful future.

Comprehended worldwide. Aviation security.

 

Branche-specific management systems are becoming more and more persistent.

In aviation also, all developments are pointing in the same direction. But why?

Different branches are placing points of gravity. In aviation, proces orientation and delivery- and risk management are not the only concerns. Special requirements to file-, configuration- and development documentation are especially important. With help from EN/AS 9100, each organisation can suffice to all quality demands and simultaneously can create the basis for continuous improvement of activities. Next to a consequent maintenance of value of knowledge of the enterprise, it is possible to detect and eliminate flaws immediately.



EN/AS 9100 summary:

 

The European Aviation and Space Quality management system  EN/AS 9100 which is based on ISO 9001:2008 consists out of following sections:


  • EN/AS 9100 concerning construction/development, production, assembly and maintenance (based on ISO 9001:2008)
  • EN/AS 9110 concerning maintenance organisations
  • EN/AS 9120 concerning dealers and suppliers
  • High demands to quality of auditors
  • A location sample survey is not relevant
  • A special audit report and evaluation is desired.

Aviation and Space centres of gravity are:

* documentation Management
* configuration managemenet
* Tenders

* Production planning

* Development documentation: Planning, Validation, Verification
