What is AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 Certification?

AS9100, AS9110 and AS9120 are international standards for Quality Management Systems (QMS) designed explicitly for the aviation, space, and defense industry, known as an Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS).

The International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) established the AS9100/AS9110/AS9120 standards to ensure that aerospace products and services meet rigorous international quality standards.  These standards incorporate ISO 9001 QMS certification but with added aspects to manage quality control. 

AS9100 certification is designed for organizations specializing in supplying equipment, aircraft accessories, airport and airline operations, maintenance and spares, flight operations, and organizations handling cargo.

The AS9110 standard is based on AS9100 and adds specific requirements that are crucial for maintaining commercial, private, and military aircraft.

AS9120 is the requirement for a QMS based on AS9100, which adds 100+ additional requirements that are specific to distributors who carry aircraft components such as fasteners, electronics, and gaskets.

It helps ensure that organizations and workers handle materials properly and track the part from the original equipment manufacturer to the endpoint client.

Amtivo, formerly Orion Registrar, is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) for AS9100, AS9110, and AS9120.
