Building on the ISO 9001 standard, several industry-specific standards with supplementary requirements of the respective industries developed in the late 1990s. In 2003, for example, EN 9100 was published as the first certifiable aerospace and defense standard for design, development, production, assembly and maintenance.<\/p>\n

This was followed in 2005 by EN 9110 for maintenance companies and EN 9120 for dealers and stockists. In 2009 and 2010, all three aviation standards were again significantly revised. In 2016, another major revision of standards was published. Currently valid is EN 9100:2018 , which rests on the foundation of EN ISO 9001:2015. Incidentally, the process outlined here also applies to companies seeking certification for distributors and stockists in accordance with EN 9120:2018.<\/p>\n

EN 9100 is fully consistent with ISO 9001. The supplementary requirements of the aerospace industry are shown in bold and italics in the 9100 standard text and are thus clearly distinguishable from the classic ISO 9001 components. Essential additions to EN 9100 compared to ISO 9001 are, for example:<\/p>\n

When companies from the aerospace or defense industry in Germany decide today to obtain certification in accordance with EN 9100:2018, this is generally not done voluntarily. In most cases, the decision in favor of introducing the aviation standard comes as a result of pressure from an important customer. With such a request, the customer then pursues a clear goal: by forcing its suppliers to certify, they themselves become responsible for proving their quality capability. The certificate issued on such a basis then serves as proof to the customer’s own customers. In this way, large companies in particular can reduce the amount of time and effort they spend on on-site monitoring in the form of supplier audits. So they are outsourcing their supplier monitoring.<\/p>\n
However, for suppliers under pressure, especially at the lower levels of the supply cascade, certification need not be synonymous exclusively with additional costs. Many companies, especially the smaller ones, systematically deal with the topics of quality management, process orientation as well as risk management and supplier monitoring for the first time within the scope of the EN 9100 preparation and the first certification. The standard can therefore help to improve structures of operational value creation as well as interfaces to the customer. In this respect, certified companies often have a more pronounced process and quality awareness.<\/p>\n

Management must first be clear about the operational purpose and goals of certification. Does the introduction of EN 9100:2018 only serve to obtain the certificate or should a holistically functioning QM system be established. To estimate the approximate effort required, you can download our EN 9100 checklist free of charge on the right-hand side of this website.<\/p>\n
The next step should be to select an independent 9100 consultant with experience in the aviation industry. If the certification is to be obtained by “on-board means” without external support, the selection of an auditor (or a certification company) who enjoys the trust of the organization starts right away. In a personal pre-information meeting, all further activities that are ultimately necessary for a successful audit are roughly determined.<\/p>\n
