What is the difference between as9100 and as9110

Like any QMS, ISO establishes standards for identifying, measuring, and improving core business processes that improve customer satisfaction and business performance.

In essence, an organization must demonstrate how their processes will comply to the extensive standards within ISO These standards are built upon seven quality principles, although the exact methods of achieving them will vary between organizations. ISO certification is no small feat, and requires significant planning, delegation and training throughout an organization. To be certified, an organization must pass an audit by an accredited certification body CB or registrar.

Organizations must re-certify every three years to maintain their certification. ASD includes all of the content from the ISO and inserts additional requirements that meet the needs of the aerospace industry.

For easy reference, each requirement specific to ASD is in bold italics. AS is intended for use by organizations that procure parts, materials, and assemblies and sell these products to a customer in the aviation, space, and defense industries.

This includes organizations that procure products and split them into smaller quantities. This standard is not intended for organizations that rework or repair products. Organizations that perform work that affects, or could affect, product characteristics or conformity should use AS or another general quality management system standard.

AS uses ISO as its foundation, with additional aerospace requirements highlighted in bold, italic type. The ISO standard is being amended and its release is expected in October this year. These organizations do not create original products, but rather repair and maintain products that have been in use. Like AS, the standard is applicable world-wide within the supply chain. It is intended to improve quality, schedule and cost performance by providing best-practices and removing unique, organization-specific requirements.

It should be noted that there are some additional supporting standards for AS AS gives requirements for direct ship guidance for aerospace companies, while AS gives requirements on the notice of change requirements in aerospace. However, these are support documents to give guidance and are not requirements of the standard unless, directly included in a customer contract.

This standard is intended solely for organizations that procure parts, materials and assemblies, then resell these items in the aerospace industry with no modification. This can include procuring products that are split into smaller quantities, or organizations that procure a part and then perform a customer or regulatory controlled process on the product such as a special inspection before delivery.

The standard is not intended to be used by organizations that maintain or repair products, or for organizations that perform work that could affect the characteristics of the product or the conformity of the product to requirements. The standard you choose will be directly related to the type of organization that you represent. In all cases, if you are not in the aviation, space and defense industry then these standard requirements will not be easily applicable to you. In the case of AS and AS, however, the standard states that other industry sectors that need additional requirements over ISO may use these requirements.

While many of the requirements may be the same, the application of these requirements will differ if you create products and services, repair and overhaul products, or distribute products in the aerospace industry.
