Resources / AS9100 & AS9110

AS9100 and AS9110 — which standard, and what we solve.

Both standards build on ISO 9001 and add the requirements the aerospace sector cannot compromise on. The difference is what your organisation does: one builds, the other maintains.

AS9100

Design & manufacture

Aerospace, space and defence organisations that design, produce or supply parts, assemblies and systems.

ISO 9001 in full, plus aerospace-specific requirements
Configuration management and first-article inspection
Counterfeit-part prevention and product safety
Risk management across the product lifecycle
Special-process control and supplier flow-down
On-time delivery and quality performance monitoring

AS9110

Maintenance, repair & overhaul

Maintenance organisations and repair stations servicing civil or military aircraft, engines and components.

ISO 9001 in full, plus MRO-specific requirements
Human factors and maintenance error management
Technical data control and revision status
Airworthiness release, certification and records
Tooling, calibration and shelf-life control
Alignment with Part-145 / 14 CFR Part 145 obligations

What AeroOps360 solves

The six problems clients bring us most often.

“We have ISO 9001 but customers now demand AS9100.”

We bridge the delta rather than start over — mapping your existing system to the aerospace clauses and building only the configuration management, first-article, risk and product-safety elements you are missing.

“Our last audit produced major findings we cannot close.”

We perform genuine root-cause analysis, write corrective actions that satisfy the registrar first time, and verify effectiveness before your response deadline expires.

“We are a repair station and do not know if we need AS9110.”

We assess your scope, customer contracts and regulatory approvals, then tell you plainly whether AS9110, AS9100 or both are commercially and technically justified.

“Our QMS exists on paper but nobody uses it.”

We rebuild the system around how your shop actually works — shorter procedures, usable forms, and records that fall out of the job rather than being reconstructed for the auditor.

“Our supply chain keeps failing our flow-down requirements.”

We design supplier approval, monitoring and escape-management processes, and run second-party audits on your critical vendors on your behalf.

“Certification is in eight weeks and we are not ready.”

We run an accelerated readiness programme: gap closure, internal audit, management review and mock certification audit against the same checklist your registrar will use.

Engagement outcome

Certified, and still certifiable three years from now.

We do not hand over a binder and leave. Our engagements end with a system your people own, evidence that stands up at surveillance, and a registrar relationship that is no longer adversarial.
