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

[QualityGirl]

Hi,
I'm new to the cove and to the aviation industry. I'm looking for the post of the matrix linking EASA 145 and EN9110. I have developed one myself, but want to compare with something to make sure I've covered everything. I'd really appreciate it if someone could direct me to one.

Also any thoughts on ANAB accompanying on a first time EN9110 certification audits?

Thanks in advance.

Here are a couple items that I have stumbled upon over the last few years. They may be a bit dated for your usage but they are still good examples nonetheless. I will not vouch for their accuracy.

Hi QualityGirl
There is good and bad news about ANAB attending your audit. The good news as they are not there to look at you, they're there to look at the Registrar. Make sure that they keep to this protocol, I have been at an audit where the accreditation body auditor started to take over and had to remind him he was there to witness the registration auditor.

The bad news, the auditor will probably be at their pedantic best as they are trying to impress the ANAB auditor who is watching. This means they may be a bit more picky about audit issues than normal.

In my experience accreditation body auditors are very experienced and worth a good deal to the industry. I have been impressed with all but one who have witness audited me.

Good Luck.

Chris

PS Your rugby team's going well, good to see you stuff the Aussies!!!

Thanks Chris,
Both for the advice and wishes with the audit and the compliment on our rugby team - roll on the six nations and the world cup! I'm a Munster fan myself and was delighted to be at the Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff this year - it's a good year for Irish rugby no doubt!

Hi QualityGirl
Ahh, a true rugby supporter, NZ versus Ireland in the World Cup final perhaps ???

How's Christian Cullen going?

You should get through AS9110 pretty easily if you're already 145 approved. There are just a couple of areas that AS9110 puts a bit more emphasis on, things like the control of technical data and there seems to be very little emphasis on tool control in 145 which is a bit surprising. At a recent audit I completed for AS9110, the two areas above were the main weaknesses.

The main difference between 145 approved organisations doing AS9110 and companies going for AS9100 is that your systems are well and truely in place and been externally audited by EASA, FAA or CAA-UK therefore robust and well implemented.

Some AS9100 applicants have not been audited by aerospace regulators and if their ISO 9001 auditors do not have an aerospace background, the companies tend to struggle with much of the detail in AS9100.

Good luck with your project.

Cheers

Chris

PS Dare I mention "the tackle?"

Thanks Chris and everyone else for the advise and support. The audit is next month so I'll let you know how it goes. The regulators are very experienced in the area so that will be of great benefit to us.

P.S. Honoured to receive compliments on our rugby from a kiwi!

Hi All,
Just to let you know that the audit went better than anyone expected. Zero non-conformances and a score of 100% (using EN9111). Our cert should be arriving early in the new year. Thanks to all in the cove who helped - either directly or indirectly, with the sharing of knowledge. Looking forward to the new year and further interactions with all of you.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Dear everybody,
I am new member, I am working for a company providing aircraft equipment in Asia.
We are establishing a system according to both of AS9100 anf FAR 21G. Could you advice us the reference between these standards ? A cross reference Matrix is very easy to understand.
Thanks for your help.
Clara

Re: AS9100 vs. FAR145, ECAR145

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).

If I can be of any further help to you, you can also contact me directly via my e-mail address [email protected]

Hi Angelika,

I am currently trying to build a cross reference between EN 9100 / ISO 9001:2000 and EASA Part 21 (especialy Subpart J at the moment).

What have you been able to come up with? are you willing to share with us?

Regards
Florent

Hello Florent,

Welcome to The Cove Forums!

You are referring to a 4-year old post. Angelika's last visit here was last August. I hope that she will read your post and respond.
