AS 9110

Integrating AS 9110 with other AS and ISO standards can significantly enhance the efficacy and scope of your Quality Management System (QMS). At ISO Consultants U.K., we specialise in harmonising AS 9110 with standards like AS 9100 for aerospace quality management, ISO 9001 for general quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. This comprehensive integration allows for a unified approach to quality and operational management, ensuring that your aerospace maintenance operations are not only compliant with the specific requirements of AS 9110 but also aligned with broader organisational goals and international standards. Such a holistic system facilitates streamlined processes, reduced duplication of efforts, and a cohesive strategy for continuous improvement across all aspects of your business.

The cost of implementing AS 9110 varies, depending on the size and complexity of your aerospace maintenance organisation, the maturity of your existing quality management systems, and the specific requirements of your operations. At ISO Consultants U.K., we understand the importance of balancing cost with value. Our consultancy services for AS 9110 certification are tailored to provide the most cost-effective solution, ensuring that you receive a high return on your investment. We offer transparent pricing and work with you to identify areas where efficiencies can be improved, thus reducing long-term costs. Our goal is to make the certification process as streamlined and budget-friendly as possible, while ensuring that your organisation achieves the highest standards of quality and safety in aerospace maintenance.

The external AS 9110 certification assessment is a rigorous process, designed to ensure that your aerospace quality management system (QMS) meets the comprehensive requirements of the standard. At ISO Consultants U.K., we guide you through each step of this process. Initially, a pre-assessment audit may be conducted to identify any potential gaps in your QMS. Following this, the formal assessment occurs in two stages: Stage 1 involves reviewing your QMS documentation and readiness for the next stage, while Stage 2 is the on-site audit where auditors will thoroughly examine the effectiveness of your QMS in practice. This includes interviews with staff, observation of processes, and review of relevant documentation. Once you successfully pass this audit and any non-conformities are addressed, you will be awarded the AS 9110 certification. Our team ensures your preparation at every stage, paving the way for a successful assessment.
