BS EN 9100:2009 Aerospace series - Quality management systems - Requirements (based on ISO 9001:2000) and Quality systems - Model for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing (based on ISO 9001:1994)
This standard includes ISO 9001-2008 quality management system requirements and specifies
additional aviation, space and defense industry requirements, definitions and notes as shown in bold,
italic text.
It is emphasized that the requirements specified in this standard are complementary (not alternative)
to contractual and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Should there be a conflict
between the requirements of this standard and applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, the
latter shall take precedence.
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including
processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the term “product” only applies to
a) product intended for, or required by, a customer,
b) any intended output resulting from the product realization processes.
NOTE 2 Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements.
1.2 Application
All requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to all
organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided.
Where any requirement(s) of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an
organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion.
Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are not acceptable unless
these exclusions are limited to requirements within Clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the
organization's ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.
This standard is intended for use by organizations that design, develop and/or produce aviation,
space and defense products; and by organizations providing post-delivery support, including the
provision of maintenance, spare parts or materials for their own products.
Organizations whose primary business is providing maintenance, repair and overhaul services for
aviation commercial and military products; and original equipment manufacturers with maintenance,
repair and overhaul operations that operate autonomously, or that are substantially different from
their manufacturing/production operations; should use the IAQG-developed 9110 standard (see
Bibliography).
Organizations that procure parts, materials and assemblies and resell these products to a customer in
the aviation, space and defense industries, including organizations that procure products and split
them into smaller quantities for resale, should use the IAQG-developed 9120 standard (see
Bibliography).
