History of Iso9100

AS9100 is an internationally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace industry that was originally based on ISO 9001. It has gone through several revisions to align with updates to ISO 9001 and to address industry-specific needs. Key revisions have included a greater emphasis on risk management, product safety, counterfeit parts prevention, and human factors. The standard is maintained by SAE International and the European Association of Aerospace Industries and compliance is often required for aerospace suppliers.

HISTORY OF ISO9100

AS9100 is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for


the aerospace industry. It was released in October, 1999, by the Society of Automotive
Engineers and the European Association of Aerospace Industries.[1][2]
AS9100 replaces the earlier AS9000 and fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO
9001, while adding requirements relating to quality and safety. Major aerospace manufacturers and
suppliers worldwide require compliance and/or registration to AS9100 as a condition of doing
business with them.[3][4]

History
Prior to development of AS9100 standards for Quality Management Systems, the U.S. military
applied two specifications to supplier quality and inspection programs, respectively, MIL-Q-
9858A[5] Quality Program Requirements, and MIL-I-45208A Military Specification: Inspection System
Requirements.[6] For years these specifications had represented the basic tenets of the aerospace
industry. However, when the U.S. government adopted ISO 9001, it withdrew those two quality
standards. Large aerospace companies then began requiring their suppliers to develop quality
programs based on ISO 9001.[7]
AS9000 (1997) Aerospace Basic Quality System Standard
As aerospace suppliers soon found that ISO 9001 (1994) did not address the specific requirements
of their customers, including the DoD, NASA, FAA and commercial, aerospace companies including
Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, GE Aircraft Engines and Pratt & Whitney, they
developed AS9000, based on ISO 9001, to provide a specific quality management standard for the
aerospace industry.[8]
Prior to the adoption of an aerospace specific quality standard, various corporations typically used
ISO 9001 and their own complementary quality documentation/requirements, such as Boeing's D1-
9000 or the automotive Q standard. This created a patchwork of competing requirements that were
difficult to enforce and/or comply with. The major American aerospace manufacturers combined their
efforts to create a single, unified quality standard, based on ISO 9001:1994, resulting in AS9000.
Upon the release of AS9000, companies such as Boeing discontinued use of their previous quality
supplements in preference to compliance with AS9000.
AS9100 (1999)
Although AS9000 satisfied immediate needs, it was recognized that OEMs operate globally—a trend
that would only increase, so a global standard was needed. The new standardized document, called
9100, was still based on ISO 9001:1994(E), although it was published separately by each country's
aerospace association or standards body (AS9100 in the U.S). AS9100 added 55 aerospace
industry specific amplifications and requirements to ISO 9001:1994.[9]
AS9100 Revision A (2001), Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production,
Installation and Servicing
During the rewrite of ISO 9001 for the year 2000 release, the AS group worked closely with the ISO
organization. As the year 2000 revision of ISO 9001 incorporated major organizational and
philosophical changes, AS9000 underwent a rewrite as well. It was released as AS9100 to the
international aerospace industry at the same time as the new version of ISO 9001.
AS9100A is actually two standards references in one publication; Section 1 defines an updated QMS
model aligned with the updated ISO 9001:2000 publication while Section 2 defines a legacy model
aligned with ISO 9001:1994. Organizations that in year 2001 were operating a QMS based on ISO
9001:1994 were permitted to conform to Section 2 with the expectation that they would then
transition their QMS to Section 1.[10][11]
AS9100 Revision B (2004), Quality Management Systems – Aerospace Requirements
As the period for transition from the 1994 to 2000 standards passed, AS9100B was released in 2004
as an administrative revision to delete Section 2 of the Revision A standard.[11]
AS9100 Revision C (2009), Quality Management System – Requirements for Aviation, Space
and Defense Organizations
The update of AS9100 from revision B to C is largely to address the following question: “Our supplier
is repeatedly late on delivery and failing to meet our requirements, how is it possible that they still
have their AS9100 certificate?” That is, the AS9100C changes are driven by repeated delivery of
non-conforming product and repeated late delivery by organizations that held AS9100A/B
certifications. Those organizations had documented controls that conformed to the standard;
however, there were insufficient processes in place to assure effectiveness of those controls. The
response in this AS9100 revision is to elevate the requirements for Risk Management and to make
Risk Management an integrated theme throughout the standard.[12]
A major challenge to AS9100B-compliant organizations was the new AS9100 auditing standards
defined in AS9101 Revision D, which eliminates the clause-based compliance checklist and requires
organizations to provide evidence of effectiveness of their systems and processes.[13]
Summary of Changes between AS9100B and AS9100C:[12]

 Greater Emphasis on Risk Management


 Introduces “Special Requirements”
 Introduces “Critical Items”
 Measure: Requirements conformance
 Measure: Delivery performance
 Adopt Proven Product Development Processes
 Eliminate “recurring corrective actions”
AS9100 Revision C was released in January, 2009,[14] with considerable delay in application of the
new version in audits, largely due to the delay in the release of AS9101 Revision D and auditor
training to the increased auditing rigor of that update.[15]
AS9100 Revision D (2016), Quality Management System – Requirements for Aviation, Space
and Defense Organizations
The update of AS9100 from revision C to D includes the full text of ISO 9001:2015. In addition to
aligning the structure of the aviation, space and defense requirements to the new structure of ISO
9001:2015, the following key changes were implemented:[16]

 Product Safety was added in a new clause and in other areas


 Counterfeit Parts Prevention was added in a new clause and in other areas (this was already in
place in the AS9110 and AS9120 standards)
 Risk clause was merged with the new ISO 9001 risk requirements along with an increased
emphasis on risks in operational processes
 Awareness clause was added with reinforced requirements for awareness of individual
contribution to product and service quality and safety along with ethical behavior
 Human Factors are included as a consideration in nonconformity management and corrective
action
 Configuration Management was clarified and improved to address stakeholder needs
AS9100 Revision D was released in September 20, 2016[17] with a certificate transition period aligned
with the ISO 9001:2015 transition.[16][18]
