AS9100 certification in Canberra at a glance
Canberra builds satellites, tests space hardware and supplies defence, which is a long way from a typical provincial manufacturing town. The ACT Government lists Skykraft's satellite manufacturing facility, the test and verification facilities at the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre on Mount Stromlo, and a defence network built around proximity to procuring agencies. Suppliers to those customers meet AS9100, the aerospace quality management standard that extends ISO 9001 with configuration management, first article inspection, special-process control, product safety and counterfeit-part prevention. For a small Canberra firm the practical question is how much of its present system already meets those requirements. Sterling serves Canberra from its Sydney office, runs that comparison, and an accredited certification body assesses the outcome.

AS9100 in Canberra: questions clients ask
Where does AS9100 demand come from in Canberra?
From the space and defence supply chains rather than from large-scale aircraft manufacturing. The ACT Government lists a satellite manufacturing facility and space test facilities, and a defence business network. When these customers pass quality terms to suppliers, AS9100 is one common request.
Is ISO 9001 enough for a Canberra space or defence supplier?
Sometimes. Many customers accept ISO 9001, while others require AS9100 because it adds configuration management, first article inspection and product safety controls. Ask the customer for the exact clause. If a move to AS9100 is expected, building on ISO 9001 now avoids rework.
