AS/EN 9100ff Certification
 

WHAT IS AS/EN 9100FF CERTIFICATION?

AS/EN 9100FF is part of the internationally recognized AS/EN/JISQ 9100 family of standards, specifically developed for the aerospace and defense industries. It defines the requirements for a quality management system (QMS) that ensures safety, reliability, and compliance throughout the entire aerospace supply chain—from design and manufacturing to maintenance and distribution.

Given the high safety expectations and strict regulatory environment of the aviation sector, AS/EN 9100FF certification demonstrates a company’s commitment to meeting the highest quality standards. It provides independent proof that an organization adheres to industry-specific requirements, helping to build trust with clients, regulators, and partners.

HOW TO OBTAIN AS/EN 9100FF CERTIFICATION?

Achieving AS/EN 9100FF certification involves a structured process that includes the following key steps:

• Implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS)
  The organization must establish and document a QMS that aligns with the requirements of the AS/EN 9100FF standard, covering all relevant processes, responsibilities, and controls
• Internal Preparation and Gap Analysis
  Before certification, companies often conduct internal audits or gap analyses to identify areas for improvement and ensure readiness for external assessment
• Selection of a Certification Body
  Partnering with an accredited certification body like Bureau Veritas Certification ensures a professional and globally recognized audit process
• Stage 1 Audit – Documentation Review
  Auditors review the company’s QMS documentation to assess its compliance with the standard and readiness for the full audit
• Stage 2 Audit – On-site Assessment
  A detailed evaluation of the implementation and effectiveness of the QMS is conducted on-site, including interviews, process observation, and record reviews
• Certification Decision
  If the audit is successful, the certification body issues the AS/EN 9100FF certificate, confirming compliance with the standard
• Ongoing Surveillance and Recertification
  Annual surveillance audits and a full recertification every three years ensure continuous improvement and sustained compliance.
