Anyone planning to certify to AS9110C should have a copy of this document.
This standard defines requirements for the preparation and execution of the audit process. (This is what the Registrars will use to perform your audit.)
In addition, it defines the content and composition for the audit reporting of conformity and process effectiveness to the 9100-series standards, the organization’s QMS documentation, and customer and statutory/regulatory requirements.
This standard has been revised to align with the latest revision of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) 9104-1 standard, incorporating inputs received from interested parties, standard clarifications, and other party management team resolutions.
AS9101G builds upon AS9101F in the aerospace industry, aligning with the latest practices and ensuring effective auditing processes.
AS9101G Content:
- Similar to AS9101F, it defines requirements for the audit process.
- Specifies content and composition for audit reporting of conformity and process effectiveness.
- Applies to the 9100-series standards, the organization’s QMS documentation, and customer and statutory/regulatory requirements.
