AS 9100

AS 9100 specifies requirements for establishing and maintaining a quality management system (QMS). AS 9000 D includes the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 plus additional requirements for the aviation, space, and defense industries.

Instead of specifying the requirements of the final product, AS 9100 focuses further “upstream” on the processes or how you produce. AS 9100 requires documented systems for controlling the processes, that is used to develop and produce the products.

The key changes from revision C to revision D are the following:

• Product Safety was added in a new clause and in other areas
• Counterfeit Parts Prevention was added in a new clause and in other areas (this was already in place in the AS9110 and AS9120 standards)
• Risk clause was merged with the new ISO 9001 risk requirements along with an increased emphasis on risks in operational processes
• Awareness clause was added with reinforced requirements for awareness of individual contribution to product and service quality and safety along with ethical behavior
• Human Factors are included as a consideration in nonconformity management and corrective action
• Configuration Management was clarified and improved to address stakeholder needs
