The aerospace quality standard is based on ISO 9001:2000, with nearly 100 additional requirements specific to
aerospace. AS9100 provides suppliers with a comprehensive quality system focused on areas directly impacting
product safety and reliability in the aerospace industry, including:
- Configuration Management - requires that a management discipline be applied over the life cycle of an
aerospace product to provide visibility and control of its functional and physical characteristics;
- Design - ensures that design responsible organizations have a robust design process to meet safety and
reliability requirements demanded by the aerospace industry;
- Purchasing - requires suitable controls over the organization's entire aerospace supply chain;
- Product Realization - ensures that each phase of product realization, from planning to shipment, is
tightly controlled for delivery of conforming product; and
- Product Monitoring/Measurement - that defines requirements for product validation prior to shipment.
