Referred to as a “Stage 1 Assessment”, our auditor will conduct an initial review of your management system to determine your readiness for the certification audit, known as the “Stage 2 Assessment”. The Stage 1 Assessment will include reviews of the management system documentation and allocation of resources. It will also determine if management reviews, and internal audit processes are established and confirm the appropriate scope of the management system.
Gaps in your system will be documented as “Areas of Concern” that should be addressed prior to the Stage 2 Assessment.
When you are ready, an auditor will conduct a “Stage 2 Assessment” to establish if your organization meets the standard’s requirements. This is an in-depth review of each of your processes to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the management system. Where requirements are not met, the auditor will issue a nonconformity.
Nonconformities must be addressed prior to certification being granted. Once the responses for nonconformities are accepted, the auditor can recommend certification.
Following a review by our Compliance Team, a decision will be made as to whether your certification can be issued. Once certification is granted, we will conduct audits at least annually to ensure continued conformance to the requirements of the standard.

There are a few differences between ISO 9001 and AS9100.
AS 9100 is based on ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification for quality but with aerospace-specific industry additions. The AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 certifications are designed by the aerospace industry for the aerospace industry. Key additions of AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 to ISO 9001 include design controls and risk management.
ISO 9001 is a more general approach to quality management that is relevant across all industries, whereas AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 is specific to quality control in the aerospace industry.
It’s a good idea to become AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 certified if you are an aerospace company to help ensure your quality control systems meet international standards. It will make you a trusted organization, improve your organization’s reputation within the industry, and see you viewed as a trusted organization by customers.
AS9100 and EN 9100 are published under different titles in North America and Europe, but there is no real difference between them. The requirements for each standard are the same.
