Collins Aerospace’s adoption of AS9145 sets a new benchmark for supplier quality management, emphasizing risk management, defect prevention, and continuous improvement. Suppliers must integrate APQP and PPAP to stay competitive and compliant.

Contract review under AS9100 is a critical process that safeguards quality, compliance, and strategic alignment in aerospace operations. By systematically asking 'Are we doing it?', 'Can we do it?', and 'Do we want to do it?', organizations can make informed decisions that balance opportunity with risk. This not only strengthens customer relationships but also reinforces a culture of excellence and accountability.

Organizations should avoid listing specific industries in their ISO 9001 or AS9100 certification scope to maintain flexibility, avoid constraints, and simplify audits. A broad scope emphasizes quality management principles, supports growth into new markets, and enhances market perception—aligning with the standards’ intent of continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

IA9150 is a new quality management system standard tailored for small aerospace organizations producing low to moderate complexity products and services. It focuses on critical aspects of product safety and quality while minimizing non-essential requirements and reducing administrative burden. The final scope will be defined by the writing team and Standards Council during early gate reviews. Stay tuned for updates!

Upcoming revisions to AS9100 and ISO 9001 will address evolving business needs, focusing on risk management, leadership, and integration.
