Aerospace, Defence & Automotive - FAQs
Can't find your answer? Our team is happy to help.
Talk to an expertWhich standards apply to aerospace, defence and automotive manufacturers?
AS9100D for aerospace, IATF 16949 for automotive, and ISO 9001 as the quality foundation - often with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 added.
What is AS9100D and who needs it?
AS9100D is the aerospace quality management standard. It is expected of manufacturers and suppliers in aerospace and defence supply chains.
What is IATF 16949 and how is it different from ISO 9001?
IATF 16949 is the automotive sector's quality standard. It builds on ISO 9001 with stringent automotive-specific requirements around defect prevention and traceability.
Can you handle traceability and configuration control requirements?
Yes. We help you implement the first-article, traceability and configuration controls these sectors demand.
How long does certification take for a manufacturing plant?
Typically 12-20 weeks for AS9100D or IATF 16949 given their depth, depending on plant size and current maturity.
Do OEMs and primes require these certifications from suppliers?
Yes. Tier suppliers are routinely required to hold the relevant certification to remain on approved supplier lists.
Can you support multi-site manufacturing operations?
Yes. We roll out a consistent management system across multiple plants and lines.
Do you cover safety and environment too?
Yes. We can integrate ISO 45001 (safety) and ISO 14001 (environment) alongside quality in one system.
We supply into a regulated supply chain - can you help with supplier audits?
Yes. We perform second-party supplier audits and support supplier empanelment and monitoring.
How disruptive is implementation on a live production line?
We design and schedule the work around production so the line keeps running, with minimal disruption.
