Why it matters
Why customers ask for AS9100.
Many aerospace and defense primes require their suppliers to be certified to AS9100 as a condition of doing business. Without it, you can lose contracts before the conversation starts.
AS9100 is built on ISO 9001 and adds requirements specific to aviation, space, and defense. If you already follow ISO 9001, you have a head start.
Customer requirementsAerospace and defense primes often flow certification requirements down to their suppliers.
Built on ISO 9001AS9100 adds aviation, space, and defense requirements to the ISO 9001 framework.

Common questions
Answers before you ask.
What is the difference between ISO 9001 and AS9100?
ISO 9001 is the general quality management standard. AS9100 includes all of ISO 9001 and adds requirements for aviation, space, and defense.
Do I need ISO 9001 certification before AS9100?
Not necessarily. Because AS9100 includes the ISO 9001 requirements, many organizations build one system that covers both.
What is a gap assessment?
A comparison of what you do today against the standard. It shows what is missing, what to fix first, and what a realistic timeline looks like.
How long does certification take?
It depends on your size, how much of a system you already have, and your target audit date. A gap assessment gives you a realistic timeline.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on scope and the kind of support you choose: a defined project, ongoing support, or extra capacity. Send a short description of your situation and let’s discuss options.
Do I still need a certification body?
Yes. I prepare your organization, and an accredited certification body performs the certification audit.
