AS9100 certification in Atlanta at a glance

Delta Air Lines is among the supply-chain companies headquartered in the Atlanta region, according to the Metro Atlanta Chamber, but Atlanta is not documented as an aerospace manufacturing centre. AS9100 requests here therefore come one customer at a time, through a purchase order or supplier-quality manual: machine shops, electronics makers, special-process houses and maintenance firms that supply aviation customers are asked to hold the aerospace certificate. The standard sits on ISO 9001 and adds configuration management, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention and delivery performance. Sterling's New York office reads the flow-down first, assesses the quality system on site and builds the evidence. A certification body working under the aerospace scheme issues the certificate.

What drives AS9100 in Atlanta

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 Atlanta: questions clients ask

Why might an Atlanta supplier be asked for AS9100?

Usually because an aviation customer writes it into the contract. Delta Air Lines is among the supply-chain companies the Metro Atlanta Chamber places in the region, and airlines and aerospace primes ask manufacturers, repair firms and special-process houses for the aerospace quality certificate. Read your customer's supplier-quality terms before planning the work.

Does AS9100 replace ISO 9001 for an Atlanta manufacturer?

It builds on ISO 9001 rather than replacing it. The aerospace standard keeps every ISO 9001 requirement and adds others, among them configuration management, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention and delivery performance. A manufacturer with a healthy quality system therefore faces a defined gap, which a certification body in the aerospace scheme assesses.
