About AS 9100 and AS 9120
AS 9100 and AS 9120 standardize quality management system requirements for the aerospace industry from production to distribution. AS 9100 is a quality management system specific to the aerospace industry for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing. It is applicable for aerospace and defense suppliers, and represents impressive efforts by the aerospace industry to produce a single standard for use across the global aerospace community.
