Dear OASIS User,
The IAQG Other Party Management (OPMT) has updated the Supplement Rules Document (SR001 - Dated 04 Nov 2011) that provides transition expectations for our stakeholders (e.g., Accreditation Bodies and Certification Bodies). The document was updated to incorporate lesson learned and provide additional clarification of intent. The transition timeline and expectations as outlined in previous versions did not change. In addition to the updated rule, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link can also be used by stakeholders to further clarify the rules for transition.
All IAQG member companies are onboard and fully committed to working with certified organizations and industry stakeholders to successfully transition to the revised Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS) 9100/9110/9120:2009 standards.
We expect certified organizations that have not completed transition yet to focus on planning for success, and provide a declaration of conformance to their certification body by their next required surveillance or re-certification audit.
Companies that are "transitioning" are encouraged to use available resources such as the Supply Chain Management Handbook (SCMH) and the IAQG Requirements website, which contain detailed gap analysis and change presentation materials.
There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that transition is completed in a timely manner and established targets met.
The whole community built a consensus on an aggressive action plan to deliver the necessary changes and obtain the required data and report the transition status. It includes:
Creating a common reporting matrix for tracking 9100/9110/9120:2009 transition activities;
Certification Bodies to coordinate with certified organizations to schedule the remaining transition audits and report transition schedules via the common reporting matrix in order to set objectives based on estimated transitions of the whole community;
Setting a target date for completion of the 9100/9110/9120:2009 certified organization transition common reporting matrix (January 4, 2012);
Accreditation Bodies to assimilate CB matrix data and report to the OPMT and Sector Management Structure (SMS) committees.
! Congratulations to those certified organizations that have completed transition to the updated standard and received their revised 9100, 9110 or 9120 certificates. This demonstrates commitment to meeting industry expectations and improved quality performance.
The Other Party Management Team (OPMT) will continue to work with all stakeholders by communicating transition status and progress as we approach the July 1, 2012 target date.
Thank you!
Tim Lee
Chair IAQG OPMT
