In short

AS9100 certification in Berlin at a glance

Berlin Partner ranks the capital region among Germany's three most important aerospace locations and names Rolls-Royce, MTU and Planet Labs as companies present, with small-satellite technology and a trade-fair tradition around ILA. That draws a layer of smaller suppliers, service firms and software developers into aerospace work. AS9100 is the sector's quality standard: ISO 9001 with extra demands for configuration control, product safety, operational risk, special processes and the prevention of counterfeit parts. Certification is carried out by accredited bodies that operate in the aerospace scheme, and customers normally state which edition and scope they expect. Sterling prepares Berlin suppliers from its Frankfurt office through gap analysis, process audits and mock assessments; the scheme rules and accreditation are on the Germany page.

AS9100 in Berlin: questions clients ask

Who in Berlin's aerospace ecosystem is asked for AS9100?

Suppliers of parts, systems, software and maintenance to aerospace programmes, typically via a purchase order or supplier manual that names the standard. Berlin Partner lists Rolls-Royce, MTU and Planet Labs among the region's companies, but each customer sets its own requirement, so read its terms.

Can a Berlin Adlershof spin-out begin with ISO 9001 before AS9100?

Yes, and many do. AS9100 builds on ISO 9001, so a lean ISO 9001 system gives the process and documentation base, and the aerospace additions can follow once a programme calls for them. Early talks with the future customer's supplier-quality team save wasted effort.
