AS9100D:2016

Aerospace & Defense

AS9100D:2016 is the quality management standard for the aerospace, aviation and defense industries. It integrates the requirements of ISO 9001:2026 with additional demands that reflect what is at stake: the safety of people and the reliability of every component.

What is AS9100D?

Published by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), AS9100D includes all of ISO 9001:2026 and adds sector-specific controls. Certifications are recorded in the OASIS database, which industry customers consult when evaluating their suppliers.

What sets it apart

  • Product safety: managing risks that could affect safety throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Counterfeit parts prevention: controls over the provenance of materials and components.
  • Configuration management: rigorous control of changes and of the current product definition.
  • Delivery performance: monitoring on-time delivery and the quality of what is delivered.
  • Human factors and ethics: accounting for human error and a culture of reporting.

Benefits of certification

  • A common requirement for supplying aerospace and defense manufacturers.
  • Better traceability and control over critical processes and engineering changes.
  • Fewer nonconformities, rework and risk of escapes reaching the customer.
