| The following is a list of QMS Certification programs that I am aware of. However, as more companies become dissatisfied with ISO, we should expect to see this number grow. | The following is a list of QMS Certification programs that I am aware of.

| AS9100 | **SAE AS9100 — "Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations"** \\ |

| | 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. |

| | **API Spec Q1 Certification** \\ |
| | [[https://www.monogramwebstore.org/publications/item.cgi?7a832d46-1fb0-4650-a57e-963108b9f71d|API Spec Q1 is a quality management system specification]], published by the [[https://www.api.org|American Petroleum Institute (API)]], specifically written for organizations that manufacture products for the petroleum and natural gas industry, also known as the oil and gas industry. If your organization manufactures parts for the oil and gas industry, implementing and obtaining certification of compliance with API Spec Q1 (from [[https://www.api.org/products-and-services/api-monogram-and-apiqr#tab-apiqr-programs|API Quality Registration]]) is probably what your customers would prefer. The ninth edition of API Spec Q1, was published in June-2013 and represented a major change for the industry. The revision to the standard came after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which occurred on April 20, 2010. The specification was introduced to help the industry improve risk assessment and management of their processes employed to produce its products. |
