In aerospace, EN 9100 is in practice the condition of market access — without the certificate you are usually not listed in the big manufacturers' supply chains.
Suppliers & manufacturing
Anyone making parts, assemblies or systems for aerospace: from machining through surface treatment to electronics.
Maintenance (MRO)
Maintenance, repair and overhaul organisations certify to EN 9110 — the MRO variant of the same family.
Trade & distribution
Stockists and distributors of aviation parts certify to EN 9120, with the emphasis on traceability and protection against counterfeits.
The clauses of EN 9100
EN 9100:2018 adopts the structure of ISO 9001:2015 in full and adds sector-specific requirements in every clause.
Context of the organisation
Interested parties, the scope and the process map of the QM system.
Leadership
Management commitment and the quality policy — extended by product safety.
Planning
Risks and opportunities, quality objectives — extended by operational risk management.
Support
Resources, competence, documented information — with stricter evidence requirements.
Operation
The largest part: configuration management, first article inspection, special processes, counterfeit parts.
Performance evaluation
Internal audits, metrics for on-time delivery and quality performance, the management review.
Improvement
Handling defects, root cause analysis and preventive action.
Additional requirements
Around 100 sector-specific additions that go beyond ISO 9001.
The EN 9100 family of standards
Which standard of the family applies depends on your business model — the IAQG keeps them in step.
Manufacturing & design
For makers and designers of parts, assemblies and systems. The most extensive variant.
Maintenance (MRO)
For maintenance, repair and overhaul organisations — with its own requirements for release.
Trade & stockholding
For distributors: traceability, storage conditions and protection against counterfeit parts.
First article inspection
Not a certificate of its own but the binding procedure for the FAI — including the forms.
What EN 9100 asks beyond ISO 9001
These are the points that separate a good QM system from one fit for aerospace.
Configuration management
Every change to the product and the documentation must be identified, assessed, released and traceable.
product safety
Deliberately identifying safety-critical characteristics and monitoring them across the whole lifecycle.
Counterfeit part prevention
Processes that keep counterfeit or unreleased parts out of the supply chain.
First article inspection (FAI)
The evidence under EN 9102 that the manufacturing process delivers the required result repeatably.
Special processes
Welding, heat treatment, surface treatment — qualified and monitored, often with Nadcap accreditation.
Supplier control
The approved supplier list, assessment, releasing process changes and flowing the requirements down.
Risk management
Assessing operational risk project by project — not only strategically as in ISO 9001.
Contingency planning
What happens when a key machine, a supplier or a site fails.
Performance metrics
On-time delivery and quality performance are measured, reported and seen by the customer.
ISO 9001 as the foundation for EN 9100
EN 9100 contains ISO 9001:2015 in full — word for word — and adds around 100 sector-specific requirements. If you are already certified to ISO 9001, most of the management system is therefore already in place: context, leadership, planning, resources, auditing and improvement stay as they are. The additional effort sits almost entirely in clause 8 — manufacturing, configuration, first articles and the supply chain.
