AS9100 Aerospace Quality Management Certified Companies

AS9100 is the quality management system standard purpose-built for the aerospace, space, and defense industry, adding critical aerospace-specific requirements on top of the ISO 9001 foundation. It is the mandatory quality certification for virtually all suppliers in the aerospace and defense supply chain. AS9100D (current revision) adds requirements beyond ISO 9001 for configuration management, design and development controls, risk management throughout the product lifecycle, prevention of counterfeit parts, special process controls, first article inspection, and enhanced requirements for customer property and records retention. It aligns with similar standards EN 9100 (Europe) and JISQ 9100 (Asia Pacific). AS9100 certification is verified through audits by registrars accredited by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). Certified companies are listed in the OASIS (Online Aerospace Supplier Information System) database, which aerospace primes and their supply chain managers use to verify current certification status. When sourcing aerospace fabrication, verifying AS9100 certification in OASIS is the essential first step.
