AS9100 Certification

What is AS9100 Certification?

AS9100 is a widely adopted and standardized Quality Management System (QMS) for the Aerospace industry. The aerospace community has specific requirements that need to be taken into account, and the QMS needs to incorporate these critical requirements. The AS9100 Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) based on the internationally recognized standard AS9100 in order to encourage International quality, safety, and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply, and maintenance.
