Surpassing Two Decades of AS9100 Compliance APT Leicester Continues Delivering Aerospace Precision
We successfully passed our annual AS9100 audit once again, reaffirming our position as a dependable Aerospace turned parts manufacturer. We’ve been serving the Aerospace industry for more than 20 years, ensuring that every CNC component we produce meets the rigorous AS9100 Rev D standard. While this accreditation is a critical requirement for Aerospace milled components, it also brings valuable benefits to customers across all engineering sectors.
Why AS9100 matters
AS9100 Rev D is an international standard that governs quality management systems for the Aerospace industry. Its primary goal is to ensure suppliers consistently deliver safe, reliable products by meeting stringent, industry-accepted practices.
Evolving from the well-known ISO 9001 standard, AS9100 adds specialised requirements tailored to the Aerospace sector, such as managing nonconforming products, establishing robust communication channels, and enforcing timely resolutions of any product nonconformities.
Key requirements
- ISO 9001 foundation
Incorporates all of ISO 9001’s quality management essentials. - Quality system maintenance
Requires organisations to develop, implement, and maintain a thorough quality management system. - Nonconformance control
Mandates that organisations identify, segregate, and manage nonconforming products or services. - Communication plan
Emphasises open lines of communication for updates on quality processes, changes, and compliance. - Resolving nonconformities
Enforces methods for controlling, correcting, or accepting the consequences of nonconforming products.
