AS9100 Certification

Silverstrand Solutions helps aerospace manufacturers and suppliers implement AS9100 so they can meet the exacting safety and quality demands of aviation, space and defense customers. AS9100 is the industry benchmark for aerospace quality management. It adapts ISO 9001 with sector specific requirements that address product safety, counterfeit parts prevention, configuration management and traceability across the supply chain.

Why AS9100 matters
AS9100 is increasingly required by prime contractors and OEMs and is a decisive commercial differentiator when competing for aerospace work. Certification demonstrates you control risk, manage product safety and deliver consistent, auditable outcomes. It reduces supplier rejection rates, lowers rework and helps you meet contractual and regulatory expectations that protect end users and your business reputation.

Core requirements and focus areas
• Risk based approach to decision making and change control
• Product safety controls including prevention and reporting of hazards
• Counterfeit parts mitigation through supplier controls, verification and traceability
• Awareness and competency so personnel understand their role in product quality and safety
• Human factors considerations such as fatigue and workplace ergonomics when investigating nonconformities
• Organizational context and stakeholder engagement including regulators, customers and suppliers
• Management accountability, performance evaluation and documented management review

Business benefits
