Frequently Asked Questions
AS9100 Rev D is built on ISO 9001 and adds aerospace-specific requirements. Having AS9100 satisfies ISO 9001 requirements. Airbus's SC-1001 supplier quality requirements specify AS9100 for parts manufacturers.
NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) certifies special processes (heat treatment, chemical processing, NDT, welding) in aerospace supply chains. AS9100 covers the quality management system; NADCAP covers specific technical processes. Both are needed for Tier-1 aerospace manufacturing.
