Choosing an Aerospace Manufacturer with AS9100 Certification
As a contract aerospace manufacturer having a reliable Quality Management System QMS is essential. It ensures quality throughout the manufacturing process. ISO 9001 provides companies in many industries the framework needed to build a reliable system, but due to the nature of the aerospace business additional quality standards were needed. To upgrade and simplify standards for aerospace, AS9100 was developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the European Association of Aerospace Industries. The AS 9100 became the aerospace standard that defense and aerospace manufacturers recognize. Choosing an aerospace manufacturer with AS9100 certification guarantees the highest levels of quality authentication are adhered to.
AS9100 is similiar to ISO 9001 in many respects, but because aerospace requires a higher level of safety and reliability higher standards are needed. Extra attention is given to customer/regulatory compliance, product traceability, configuration management, and subcontractor requirements. The AS9100 standard also places a greater emphasis on an being able to show improvement. It is an audited process.
