AS9100 certification in Brisbane at a glance

Aerospace is a working sector in Brisbane, not a slogan: Choose Brisbane reports that half of the world's top ten aerospace companies have a presence in the city, among them Airbus Australia, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, GE Aviation and Raytheon Australia, and Brisbane Airport's master-planned estate has room for hangars and maintenance. A machining, electronics or composites supplier feeding that chain meets AS9100 through flow-down terms. The standard is ISO 9001 plus aerospace requirements: configuration management, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention, on-time delivery performance and risk-based control of special processes. Sterling builds the system on the ISO 9001 base from its Sydney office and prepares the business for the audit by an accredited certification body holding an aerospace scope. Accreditation detail sits on the country page.

Operational risks are managedRisks to delivery and product conformity are assessed and controlled during planning and production.
Production is proven before it runsProduction process verification, such as first article inspection, confirms that processes can make conforming product.

AS9100 in Brisbane: questions clients ask

Do Brisbane's aerospace companies require AS9100 from suppliers?

Prime contractors and operators set their own supplier requirements, and AS9100 is a common one in aviation, space and defence supply chains. No Brisbane authority is recorded as requiring it. Check the quality clauses in each purchase order or prequalification pack, because some buyers accept ISO 9001 for lower-risk parts.

Can a Brisbane machine shop move from ISO 9001 to AS9100?

Yes. AS9100 sits on top of ISO 9001, so an existing quality system carries most of the structure and the gap lies in aerospace additions such as configuration management, product safety and counterfeit-part control. Brisbane suppliers often close that gap before a prime's supplier audit asks for the certificate.
