AS9100D (Aerospace Quality Management System)
Controlled by International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) & Effectively Managed with ZEBSOFT
AS9100D is achieved by following the rules laid down in the standard, although these rules are the same for organizations. The way in which those rules are applied is different in all organizations. Aerospace is a very serious subject matter therefore although it shares the same framework as ISO9001 but has supplemental clauses designed by the IAQG to meet their own requirements. There is little flexibility in the interpretation of the requirements therefore this is a standard for those who are 100% focused on quality management.
Certification to AS9100D is an important step if your business is looking to maintained or enter into relationships with aerospace customers as a requirement for them is that their supply chain is AS9100D certified. In the UK the certification must be conducted by a UKAS accredited certification body.
