Can anyone inform me of the Registration and annual costs to maintain As9100?
AS9100 Implementation, Registration and Annual Costs to maintain Registration?
The basic process for AS91XX starts at approximately around 1,000.00 USD a year in the USA for a company with 2 to 10 individuals. (Yes, there are hidden costs - example - OASIS)
The price increases based on structure, footage of building, complexity of the processes, on and on and on...and it goes up higher based on negotiations.
Remember - you get what you pay for..... (Registrar will compete for your dollar)
As suggested, it's based on headcount and scope (design etc). Your best bet is to research which CBs would be best for you - choose carefully - and approach them for an actual quote. The number of days is fixed by ANAB, auditor day rates are pretty much fixed due to availability these days...
OASIS fee are NOT "hidden" - they are a pass through the CB. You may find there are 'extra' CB fees involved, so take some time to talk to the CBs you short list (take a look at your customers CBs) to discover what they'll do for you.
Sorry, Andy, but this is not correct. ANAB does not fix the number of audit days. Each CB is responsible for estimating the audit days, according to a combination of the IAF MD5 document and AS9104A, being scheduled for replacement when AS9104-1 comes along. Actually the ICOP oversight stakeholders have identified significant variation in estimation of audit days and the audit day estimation process is one of the focus areas during ICOP Oversight and AB audits. It is a well known fact that some CB's allow for significant reduction of audit time without proper justifications, because of the competitive nature of the certification business.
As for the CB day rates, there is also some variation. Proximity of auditors and associated travel expenses can be significant.
