Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A: The “AS” stands for Aerospace Standard, and “9100” is the specific document number assigned by SAE International. AS9100 is a widely recognized quality management system standard specifically developed for the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries. It’s based on ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements focused on safety, risk management, product reliability, and regulatory compliance in high-risk sectors.
A: ISO 9001 is a general quality management standard applicable to any industry, while AS9100 builds upon it with aerospace-specific requirements.

If your business works in aerospace, AS9100 is essential for meeting industry expectations and gaining customer trust.
A: Getting AS9100 certified requires commitment, preparation, and leadership support—but it’s entirely achievable with the right guidance.
