ASSURANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS: CONSOLIDATING A STRATEGIC DOCUMENT
Aerospace EN/AS/JISQ 9100:2016 Certification
EN 9100 CERTIFICATION FOR AEROSPACE
With complex and global supply chains, the aerospace industry requires strict quality standards to help organisations showcase their quality. Independent certification to the EN 9100 series provides the solution.
Usually seen as a minimum requirement to enter the aerospace market, the series gives a framework to demonstrate the maturity of your Aerospace Quality Management system in order to meet customer and regulatory requirements.
Bureau Veritas is the leading certification body for the EN 9100 series, working with organisations to certify their management system and provide flexible training solutions.
WHAT IS EN 9100 CERTIFICATION?
EN 9100 Quality Management System (QMS) is the internationally-recognised standard for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing within the aerospace industry – applicable to those that design, develop or produce new aerospace materials and parts.
EN 9110 QMS is for organisations responsible for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aerospace/defence parts, while EN 9120 QMS is for stockists and resellers - setting a framework for quality assurance in stockholding and distribution of aerospace/defence parts.
WHY IS EN 9100 IMPORTANT?
For individual organisations, EN 9100 addresses risks at both the organisational and operational levels, improving flexibility across the business. This approach helps to better prepare and anticipate risks across the entire value chain, ensure on-time delivery and meet other evolving client needs.
In addition, by playing a crucial role in ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of aerospace products and services, EN 9100 contributes to the success and sustainability of the aerospace industry as a whole.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EN 9100 AND ISO 9001?
All three standards in the EN 9100 series are based on ISO 9001 Quality Management, applying the same principles and clauses. The EN 9100 series is applicable to Europe and there is also an AS 9100 series for North America, with identical requirements.
The AS/EN 9100 series offers an aerospace-specific approach to quality management. It places additional demands on key aspects relating to aerospace and defence, such as (but not limited to) risk management, configuration management and counterfeit parts management.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EN 9100?
- Identify and mitigate risk across your supply chain
- Increase aerospace market opportunities
- Optimise efficiency and performance through continuous improvement
- Improve customer satisfaction and demonstrate confidence to stakeholders
- Safeguard your company’s reputation through independent certification to a global QMS standard
