When the aerospace industry realized that it was necessary to supplement the ISO quality management system model to satisfy internal, government and regulatory requirements for the aerospace industry, AS 9100 was established. This standard comprises the ISO 9001:2000 requirements augmented by aerospace industry requirements. It was the result of an international effort by aerospace companies with a common goal of establishing a quality management system for use within the aerospace industry.

To assure customer satisfaction, aerospace industry organizations must produce, and continually improve safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory requirements. The globalization of the aerospace industry, and the resulting diversity of regional/national requirements and expectations, has complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the challenge of assuring the quality of, and integration with, product purchased from suppliers throughout the world and at all levels within the supply chain. Aerospace suppliers and processors face the challenge of delivering product to multiple customers having varying quality expectations and requirements.

Improve quality and safety, and reduce costs
This document standardizes quality management system requirements for the aerospace industry. The establishment of common requirements for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organizations around the world should result in improved quality and safety and decreased costs due to the elimination or reduction of organization-unique requirements and the resultant variation inherent in multiple expectations.
