The International 9100 team recently met in Barcelona during IAQG Meeting Week and agreed on plans to update the aerospace quality management standard. This interim update kicks off a bigger effort to modernise and simplify the whole 9100 series, reflecting a shared global push to keep the standard practical and relevant.
What’s Happening?
An interim revision of the 9100 standard will soon be put to ballot. This focused update includes some targeted improvements based on valuable industry feedback and input from different sectors. The goal is to have this interim version published in 2025.
Work has also begun on a full revision of the 9100 standard, which will be aligned with the next update of ISO 9001.
Why Is This Change Happening?
The planned revisions process is shaped by:
- Industry trends and input from interested parties.
- A stronger focus on:
- Clear responsibility and authority for product and service conformity
- Better oversight of external providers and their supply chains
- An opportunity to deliver useful updates now, ahead of the wider ISO 9001 revision
- A plan to simplify sector designations (AS, EN, SJAC, JISQ) into a single, consistent ‘IA’ prefix format
- A chance to validate SAE’s faster standards change process
