AS9100 certification in Los Angeles at a glance
Anyone supplying parts to the aerospace employers around El Segundo soon meets the phrase quality flow-down. The city of El Segundo, home to Los Angeles Air Force Base and to Boeing and Raytheon operations, pushes requirements down to machine shops, electronics assemblers, finishers and test houses across the Los Angeles area. AS9100 answers them. It keeps the ISO 9001 structure and adds aerospace demands such as configuration management, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention and on-time delivery performance. A supplier can show its prime one recognised system instead of answering a separate audit each time. Sterling builds that system with Los Angeles teams from its New York office, and an accredited certification body decides on certification after its own audit.

AS9100 in Los Angeles: questions clients ask
Which Los Angeles suppliers usually need AS9100?
Firms that make or process parts for aircraft, space and defence primes, including machining, finishing, electronics and assembly shops across the Los Angeles area. The prime's supplier terms decide whether AS9100 is required, so read the purchase conditions before scoping the project with an accredited certification body.
Can a firm adopt AS9100 without ISO 9001 first?
Yes. AS9100 contains the full ISO 9001 text with aerospace additions, so a firm can build one system and go straight to AS9100. Many Los Angeles shops that already hold ISO 9001 simply extend it, which closes a smaller gap than a fresh start.
