EN 9120 is a standard for distributors and warehouse keepers in aerospace and defense. Its key characteristic is a focus on the special requirements of this industry. At the same time, where possible, the standard waives typical production requirements.<\/p>\n

In order to be certified according to EN 9120, it is not decisive how high the proportion of operational value added is in aerospace or defense. Rather, the decisive factor is that the business to be certified has characteristics of distributers or warehouse keepers does not at the same time also carry out production processing activities. While batch separation, cutting and preservation are allowed, even small manufacturing or maintenance tasks (e.g. assembly or finishing) lead to an exclusion from EN 9120 and require a change to EN 9100 or EN 9110.<\/p>\n
The aviation standard is available as EN 9120:2018. It is issued via the European Aerospace Quality Group (EAQG). In terms of content, the the American AS 9120 of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the JISQ 9100 of the Japanese Aerospace Quality Group are identical to EN 9120 and therefore equivalent to each other. As of 2019, there are around 900 operating sites in Europe with certification to the EN 9120:2018 aviation standard, compared with just under 1,800 worldwide.<\/p>\n

EN 9120:2018 fully incorporates EN ISO 9001:2015. The supplementary requirements of the aerospace industry are shown in bold italics in the standard text. The delta is therefore clearly distinguishable from the classic ISO 9001 components. Major additions to EN 9120:2018 compared to ISO 9001:2015 are, for example, requirements on:<\/p>\n
These extensions to ISO 9001 bring the EN closer to the EASA aviation legislation (in particular the Implementing Rules to Part 21 and Part 145). Nevertheless, significant differences remain. Namely, while the EN focuses primarily on customer satisfaction and process orientation, the EASA regulations focus on the safety aspect.<\/p>\n
Due to the numerous industry specifics, it is highly advisable for companies wishing to be newly certified to an aviation standard to consult a consultant with aviation experience. As a newcomer to the industry, it is significantly more costly to obtain certification without expert assistance. It’s not just aviation industry expertise that’s missing. In most cases, there is also a lack of know-how for the interpretation and operational implementation of the standards requirements. It is also difficult to deal with the PEAR specifications for process measurement, which are not described in EN 9120:2018, but only in EN 9101.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, organisations seeking certification as aerospace and defense distributors and stockists must learn to assess the certification auditor’s way of thinking and testing themselves without outside assistance. However, this experience is only gained during the audit, so that many deficiencies often have to be eliminated within a short period of time.<\/p>\n
