Deployment of AS9110 - What are your thoughts?

[Sidney Vianna]

With more and more Aerospace organizations outsourcing their R&O processes and ANAB's recent announcement that (FINALLY) an AS9110 accreditation scheme will be available soon, I am interested to know if anybody here at the Cove could share their thoughts/plans to adopt and/or require suppliers to attain AS/EN 9110 certification.

Any information would be appreciated.

Hi Sidney,

I don't have any thoughts regarding AS9110, and requiring suppliers to attain certification, but maybe someone else here at 'The Cove' will jump in!

Even though no one is yet accrediting AS9110, I have written to this standard for a few companies already. They are waiting for the accreditation scheme to arrive. I think more will certainly jump on board. The 9110 scheme avoids some of the difficult issues associated with 9100 manufacturing and design but it also adds features that goes beyond 9100 and is unique to maintenance which is a benefit.

Any idea as to when first AS9110 accreditations start to surface?

Thanks for adding to this thread, and welcome to 'The Cove'!

What I have heard is we are waiting for the arrival of the checklist similiar to the 9101b . . . also I noted yesterday an advertisement for training AS9110 auditors, perhaps it is close.

For the past two days I have been meeting with one of my clients who was being audited by BSI for AS9100 certification. We were recommended . . . for certificatin . . . alrighty then! Anyway the discussion concerning AS9110 came up. Apparently the certification process is underway now. One of the auditors told me the checklist has been released and certification is available.

Congratulations! Get ready to move about the country. It's great having your participation at the AS9100 Forum.

Are there any American Aerospace R&O Organizations jumping on board to implement and register to AS9110 yet?

I just did a search in the I.A.Q.G. OASIS database and found only a handful of organizations in Europe registered to 9110... UK, France, Morocco and Belguim.

I guess the key to implementation and registration is 'customer mandate'.
