Description
EN 9100 is specific to the Aerospace, Space and Defense (ASD) sector.
The standards of the EN 91X0 series (EN9100 / EN9110 / EN9120) aim to establish a quality assurance system in the fields of the aeronautical, space and defense industries.

The EN 9100:2018 standard

Officially, the current version of the AS 9100 standard in force is that of December 2016.
However, in France, EN 9100 bears the reference NF EN 9100:2018 because its translation was only published in May 2018. The EN 9100 certificates of the French companies concerned are therefore written with the reference NF EN 9100:2018.

The EN 9110 standard applies to maintenance and repair activities, while EN 9120 applies to the storage and sale of new or repaired materials.

The EN 9100 standard includes requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) developed in ISO 9001:2015 and specifies the requirements, definitions and additional notes directly related to the Aerospace, Space and Defense industries.

To enable all players in the global ASD industry to verify the conformity of the quality of their suppliers' services according to the audited standards (EN 9100 in Europe, AS 9100 in America and JISQ 9100 in Asia), the IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group) has set up OASIS (Online Aerospace Supplier Information System).

OASIS is a database and information system for suppliers that references all organisations certified according to the standards of the EN91X0 series.
