-AS9100 +**SAE AS9100 — "Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations"** \\ 
 +Certification process managed by the IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group) \\ 
 +[[https://www.sae.org/iaqg/organization/9100.htm|https://www.sae.org/iaqg/organization/9100.htm]] \\ 
 +After a great deal of debate, the committee for AS 9100 decided to continue to use ISO 9001:2015 as the foundation document for AS 9100:2016 (Rev. D), with further requirements added to make the standard more robust. 
  
 +According to IAQG, AS 9100 "//standardizes quality management system requirements to the greatest extent possible and can be used at all levels of the supply chain by organizations around the world. Its use should result in improved quality, schedule and cost performance by the reduction or elimination of organization-unique requirements and wider application of good practice. While primarily developed for the aviation, space and defense industry, this standard can also be used in other industry sectors where a quality management system with additional requirements over an ISO 9001 system is needed//."
  
 +Not everyone agrees with the above statement... or that AS 9100:2016 has delivered on any of the performance results IAQG expected. And it certainly has not reduced or eliminated organization-unique requirements or promoted wider application of good practices. In fact, several major aerospace companies have independently decided to issue comprehensive "Supplier Quality Requirements" to //supplement// (i.e., strengthen) AS9100:2016. This means that the level of QMS sophistication of AS 9100 certified companies varies significantly depending upon which customers they serve.
