Upcoming Updates to Aerospace Standards
The International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) has confirmed that a limited change revision of the aerospace quality standard will be released in the coming months. This revision, to be published as IA9100, will continue to be based on ISO 9001:2015, with only limited updates and clarifications to strengthen alignment and usability.
IA9100 will be issued alongside revisions to AS9101 and the AS9104 series of standards. Once released, the industry will be given an implementation period of approximately 12 months to transition to the updated requirements.
In addition, the OASIS database—the global platform supporting aerospace certification—continues to evolve. The software developer, Intact, is now focused on enhancing the user experience, following the recent stabilization of its core functionality. New features are expected to roll out progressively, helping certification bodies, auditors, and organizations use the system more efficiently.
We will continue to monitor these developments and share updates as soon as further details are confirmed.

Interim Revision to 9100 in Progress
The International 9100 team recently met in Barcelona during IAQG Meeting Week and agreed on plans to update the aerospace quality management standard. This interim update kicks off a bigger effort to modernise and simplify the whole 9100 series, reflecting a shared global push to keep the standard practical and relevant.
What’s Happening?
An interim revision of the 9100 standard will soon be put to ballot. This focused update includes some targeted improvements based on valuable industry feedback and input from different sectors. The goal is to have this interim version published in 2025.
Work has also begun on a full revision of the 9100 standard, which will be aligned with the next update of ISO 9001.
Why Is This Change Happening?
The planned revisions process is shaped by:
- Industry trends and input from interested parties.
- A stronger focus on:
- Clear responsibility and authority for product and service conformity
- Better oversight of external providers and their supply chains
- An opportunity to deliver useful updates now, ahead of the wider ISO 9001 revision
- A plan to simplify sector designations (AS, EN, SJAC, JISQ) into a single, consistent ‘IA’ prefix format
- A chance to validate SAE’s faster standards change process
