AS9100 certification in Nagoya at a glance
Aichi builds a good part of the aircraft flying today, according to the prefecture itself: a majority of Japan's aircraft and components come from the Chubu region. That supply chain reaches deep into Nagoya's machine shops, ceramics makers and materials suppliers, and the prefecture's aerospace special zone offers incentive programmes to grow it. A supplier invited into the chain will be handed AS9100, which builds on ISO 9001 with configuration management, first article inspection, special-process control, product safety and counterfeit-part prevention. Sterling serves Nagoya from its Tokyo office, begins with a gap review against your current system, and prepares an assessment by an accredited certification body operating under aerospace rules.

AS9100 in Nagoya: questions clients ask
Why is AS9100 more common around Nagoya than in most Japanese cities?
Because Aichi and the wider Chubu region produce a majority of Japan's aircraft and components, so more suppliers sit inside aerospace chains. The prefecture's aerospace special zone also encourages new entrants. The certificate is still demanded by customers, not by the zone, so read each programme's supplier quality terms.
Can a Nagoya machining shop build AS9100 on an IATF 16949 system?
Often yes for the shared elements: process control, calibration, supplier management and corrective action. AS9100 then adds items such as configuration management, first article inspection, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention and aerospace-specific special-process control. A gap review shows how much carries over.
