The AS 9100 standard is a widely adopted quality management system, based on the ISO 9000 standard but designed to be used in the aviation, space, and defence industries and throughout the supply chain.
It is intended for use by organisations that design and produce aviation, space, and defence products or that provide post-delivery support including maintenance, materials, or spare parts, for their own products.
AS9100 is an important standard within the aerospace industry as most manufacturers and suppliers require compliance and/or registration to AS9100 as a condition of working with them.
