AS9100 in Plain English vs. FAR145, ECAR145 - Seeking Cross Reference Matrix

[colhot]

Hi

I am doing project at work where I have to assimulate our audits to include FAR145, ECAR145 and AS9100. FAR and ECAR are quite easy to understand as I am used to working to there requirements but as for AS9100 well..........

Is there a matrix available that x refers either all or some of the above. Your help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi Colin,

I have tried to do about the same a couple of weeks ago, however, as concerns the corresponding European standard EN 9100 and EASA Part 21 (design, development, production).

As far as I know there is a separate standard AS 9110 for maintenance organisations. So if you want to do a matrix it might be better to refer to AS 9110 vs. FAR145, EASA Part 145.

AS 9100 is more focussed on companies that are involved in design, development and production.

(Re: ECAR
As far as I know, ECAR145 has only been a draft and has been replaced by EASA Part 145 that has been in force since 28 Sep. 2003).

No matter whether AS 9100 or 9110, both standards require a lot more than FAR/EASA Part 145.

Basis of the AS 9100 series is ISO 9001:2000, so if you know the latter, you will get an idea of what is missing in FAR/EASA Part 145.

If I can be of any further help to you, you can also contact me directly via my e-mail address a-artinger@freenet.de

Angelika.

Hello Colin, Well this is how I am going to do it:

In the back of AC145-9 is a group of questions to help with a desk audit of the required documentation and forms. I have used that for auditing our RSM and forms initially.
We are AS9100B registered and have our FAR Part 145 Inspection on Tuesday.
I will combine our Internal Audits of AS9100 and the Repair Station by stating so on the plan, report and all other documents pertaining to the audit. It will be process based, just like AS9100, covering all of the processses and procedures of the Repair Station as stated in the RSM. This will be accomplished at least once a year. For AS9100, I will try to cover all of the areas at least once throughout the year.
We are on an annual surveilance schedule with our registrar and I like to keep my bases covered.
Hope that helps.

Paula
