AS9101, I believe is PPAP for the aerospace sector. If you are not familiar with automotive PPAP --- PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)is a series of 15 documents suppliers must send their customer before shipping production quantities of their product.
AS9100 will also have sanctioned interpretations, just like QS-9000.
AS9100 rev 1? is supposed to be released mid 2001. This new revision is supposed to follow the ISO 9K2K format. The current version of AS9100 will co-exist along with AS9100 rev 1 until November of 2003.........so I am told.
I just received a copy of AS 9101 (Quality System Assessment) from SAE. It reminds me of the QSA document that is the compliment to the QS 9000 (automotive/AIAG) standard. Some of the grammar is questionable where they have tried to re-phrase the requirements in the form of a question but I will use it as a guide to beef up our existing audit checklists in preparation for an AS 9100 cert audit. I don't think I will use it for its intended purpose......an actual audit checklist.

Does anyone know if there is a matrix to compare ISO9000:2000 and AS9100 (latest version)? I am trying to write a system that will comply with both. It will be easier if I have some comparison matrix!!

AS9100 is supposed to be revised so it shares the same outline as ISO 9K2K, so I am told. I do not know the status of this revision though. The original version of AS9100 is/was twenty elements just like ISO 9001:1994. There is a cross reference matrix (ISO 9K2K to ISO 9001:1994) in ISO/Committee Draft 1 9001/2000 that would be a good starting point. Once the new version of AS9100 becomes available, a matrix should no longer be needed.
Can anyone tell me a little about AS9101?
