The aviation industry is a strategic development industry in China. In recent years, this field has experienced rapid development and has received high attention and attention from relevant departments and scholars at home and abroad. With the introduction of specialized projects and the continuous deepening of related tasks, new equipment, technologies, and processes have been widely applied, which poses new requirements for the development of modern aerospace quality management work.

What is AS9100

AS9100 stands for Quality Systems Aerospace; AS stands for Aerospace, which stands for Aerospace Quality Management System Requirements.

AS9100D is the fourth edition of AS9100, released in 2016, primarily to maintain consistency between the AS9100/AS9100C standard and the ISO 9001:2015 standard. The release of the AS9100D standard is aimed at promoting consistency and quality standards in the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries, in order to increase the competitiveness of enterprises in these industries in the global market. The purpose of AS9100D's release is to provide a unified standard for the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries, in order to enable enterprises in these industries to achieve higher standards in their quality management systems.

The AS9100D standard has been endorsed and supported by many aerospace companies, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the American Aerospace Industry Association (AIA), and was officially released and implemented in 1997. Boeing, Airbus, GEAE, Allied Signal, Allison and other companies have all stated that this standard is a mandatory requirement for their suppliers. Therefore, implementing and passing AS9100D certification can not only improve the quality management level of the enterprise itself, but also be a necessary choice for entering the supply chain of high-quality customers.

With the continuous development and progress of aviation technology, The AS9100D standard is also constantly being updated and improved. In the future, this standard will pay more attention to the following points:

1. In line with international standards: With the process of global economic integration, The AS9100D standard will pay more attention to international integration and promote the improvement of aviation product quality and safety on a global scale;

2. Intelligence: With the continuous development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, The AS9100D standard will pay more attention to the application of intelligent technology in aviation product quality management;

3. Sustainable development: With the increasing emphasis on sustainable development in society, The AS9100D standard will pay more attention to the performance of enterprises in environmental protection, social responsibility, and other aspects.
