There has been a lot of talk about the new standard for aerospace, AS9100 C, now that it has been published. But the starter gun has yet to fire. Just when and how this new version of AS9100 will become auditable has not been determined. Registration auditors have not been trained and the actual paperwork required to document the audit has not been decided upon.

So let’s talk about this! There are a lot of companies out there right now, who are sitting in a holding pattern waiting for the proverbial shoe to fall, so they can decide how they want to approach this. Some companies are already implementing the new standard, but there is some confusion on what parts of the old standard go away and what new ones replace them.

I think this is a great forum for professionals and laymen alike to discuss different approaches to this subject. If we put our heads together, maybe we can all gain a better perspective of AS9100 C . What is it really going to take to get moving forward and how long before we are all on the same page. The real objective is to improve the quality management system and services of the aerospace community, not make it harder to maintain.
