Certified quality management systems to AS 9100, AS 9110 and AS 9120 may be utilized by Boeing for approval if:
Accredited Certification Bodies (CBs) are listed at the following web site: https://www.IAQG OASIS.
AS 9100, AS 9110, AS 9115 and AS 9120 are comprised of ISO 9001 quality system requirements supplemented by additional quality system requirements established by the Aviation, Space and Defense industry. The development of the supplemental requirements is the result of an international effort with a common goal of establishing common quality management systems for use within the Aviation, Space and Defense industry.
The international aerospace industry realized the necessity to supplement the ISO quality system model to satisfy internal, government, and regulatory requirements applicable to the Aviation, Space and Defense industry-- requirements that ISO, as a generic standard, was never designed to satisfy.
Each additional requirement (or supplementation) to ISO 9001 can be characterized as follows:
Yes, with clarification. The international working group agreed on the text of this standard, but the agreement stipulates that participating countries can release the standard under their own numbering conventions. For example in Europe the standard is released as EN 9100 and in the U.S. as SAE AS 9100. In the future, additional regions or countries may elect to translate the standard into their language and release it under their numbering conventions. In all cases, the resulting national versions of the standard should be identical in content.
No. AS 9100 and EN 9100 are the same, excluding the numbering convention and translation. The Boeing Company will recognize EN 9100. As other regions/countries adopt, translate, and release the aerospace quality system standard under their own numbering convention, Boeing will expand its scope of recognition.
Obtain a copy of AS 9100, AS 9110, AS 9115, AS 9120 through SAE (US) http://www.sae.org or SD-STAN (Europe) http://www.asd-stan.org/index.asp or JSA (Japan) http://www.jsa.or.jp/top.asp
Boeing will not provide AS 9100, AS 9110, AS9115, AS 9120 or future equivalencies to our suppliers. We expect suppliers to "obtain a copy." In the case of AS 9100, it can be purchased through SAE. This website is linked to the SAE home page for ordering.
This document defines The Boeing Company's expectations for supplier quality systems. It is a "shell" or a "carrier" document that contains three appendixes (Appendix A, C and D (App B is obsolete)), with two complement addendums. Appendix A contains the requirement for compliance with ISO 9001, as supplemented by AS 9100 for production suppliers. Appendix C contains AS 9110 for Maintenance, Overhaul and Repair (MRO) organizations, Appendix D contains AS 9120 for Distributors, Addendum 1 contains Variation Management of Key Characteristics and Addendum 2 contains the requirements for airborne software.
The Boeing Company will determine which appendix or appendixes apply and impose them within the purchase contract/order. This website provides a general description of the appendixes and addenda and how each may be applied.
Yes. This website is accessible to anyone. You are permitted to save the D6-82479 and print copies for use within your company only.
A few reminders:
Yes.
Boeing contractually flows QMS standards (ISO 9001, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120) and expects suppliers to obtain accredited QMS certification. For AS9115 software QMS, Boeing second party approval is required, and for CMMI, evidence of CMMI recognition is required.
The D6-82479 document contains a section 3.0, which includes supplemental language that must be addressed in the supplier's QMS. This supplementation provides clarification of Boeing QMS requirements for ensuring compliance to the AQMS standards (AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, AS9115).
Compliance and conformance infers that required processes have been established (e.g. quality policy, quality manual, required documented procedures) and the documentation meets the requirements of BQMS. The planned arrangements have been implemented and an Internal Audit process has been effectively implemented and maintained.
D6-82479 BQMS Appendix A applies to contracted sellers that have requirements for the design, manufacture/production, inspection, and/or conformity, of the product. This includes performing or outsourcing manufacturing/fabrication, product installation, servicing, additional inspection or test, physical re-identification, product assembly, and/or kitting processes.
D6-82479 BQMS Appendix D applies to contracted sellers carrying out the purchase, storage, splitting or sale of products without affecting the original manufacturer's product characteristics or conformity.
No, a Seller with a D6-82479 BQMS Appendix A approval is not required to obtain both approvals for the distribution of aerospace products. Reference: A D6-82479 BQMS Appendix A approval is an acceptable alternative to a D6-82479 BQMS Appendix D approval.
No. Sellers that perform or outsource manufacturing/fabrication, product installation, servicing, additional inspection or test, physical re-identification, product assembly, and/or kitting processes must have a D6-82479 BQMS Appendix A approval.
No. D6-82479 Section 3, requires your organization to evaluate and select distributors based on the distributors' ability to conform to an AS/EN/JISQ 9100 or AS/EN/SJAC 9120 quality management system (reference AS9100 / AS9110 / AS9120 Criteria for selection, evaluation and re-evaluation). Method of demonstrating conformance is determined by your organization, and can include, but is not limited to AQMS certification recognition.
