Certification EN 9100

The EN 9100 standard applies to organisations that design, develop or supply aerospace, space and defence products and services, and organisations that provide post-delivery activities, including the supply of maintenance, spare parts or materials for their products and services.

EN 9100 certification has become essential for winning tenders in the ASD sector. It has become the globally recognised passport for all suppliers to the aerospace industry, recognised by all IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group) contractors.

EN 9100 certification will enable you to demonstrate the quality of your services to contractors in the ASD sector. You will be listed in the OASIS (Online Aerospace Suppliers Information Systems) global database of suppliers to the aerospace industry.

The OASIS database was set up by the IAQG to enable all players in the global ASD industry to verify the quality compliance of their suppliers' services in accordance with audited standards.
OASIS is a supplier database and information resource that lists all organisations certified to the EN9100 series of standards.

Your EN 9100 certification is proof of your maturity in the areas covered by the EN 9100 series of standards, such as customer satisfaction, opportunity/risk approach, supplier and subcontractor management, continuous improvement, etc.

Here is a list of some of the benefits for EN 9100-certified organisations:

• Improve relations with clients and respond to their challenges
• Be listed in the OASIS (Online Aerospace Suppliers Information Systems) global database of suppliers to the aerospace industry
• Contribute to the overall quality of the supply chain
• Optimise organisation
• Secure production activities
• Reassure stakeholders
• Enhance its image
• Demonstrate and promote its commitment to quality
• Encourage collective commitment from teams
• Promote a culture of quality

The EN 9100 certification process is voluntary.

However, to ensure you are in the best possible position to apply for certification, facilitate the process and better meet the requirements of the EN 9100 standard, we recommend that you:

• Have an operational quality management system in place.
• Your operational management system must have been in place for at least one year.
• It has been audited internally at least once.
• A management review has been carried out.

EN 9100 certification is intended for organisations of all types and sizes, regardless of geographical, cultural and social conditions.
