What the AS9100 readiness check covers
The check measures your organisation against AS9100D (2016) in seventeen questions, grouped into four areas: Context, leadership and operational risk; Requirements, design and external providers; Production, verification and release; and Performance evaluation and improvement. Each answer is scored and weighted; the questions marked “Double weight” are the ones certification bodies examine first.
What you get
An overall score with one of four readings — Audit-ready, Nearly there, Gaps to close or Starting out — a score for each of the four areas, the priorities to fix first and the typical next step towards AS9100 certification.
How to use it
Answer from evidence rather than intention: if a control exists on paper but is not operating, score it as not operating. Share the result with the people who own each area, and use the AS9100 hub for the requirements, the route to AS9100 certification and what it costs.
Questions people ask
Is the AS9100 readiness check free?
Yes. It is free, takes about ten minutes and sends your readiness report to your e-mail, with no obligation.
Is this a certification audit or a certificate?
No. It is a self-assessment that shows where you stand before the real thing. Certification is granted by an accredited certification body after its own audit. Sterling's expert and experienced consultants prepare organisations for that audit; Sterling does not certify.
What happens after I receive my AS9100 score?
Your report shows the areas to fix first and the typical next step towards AS9100 certification. If you want help with the result, a Sterling consultant can walk through it with you in a free discovery call.
