About
ISO 9001
Originally published in 1987 by
the International Organization
for Standardization, ISO 9001 is
a generic quality systems
standard that specifies, in very
broad terms, the necessary
components of a quality
management system. Rather than
being specific to any one
industry, ISO 9000 details the
basic requirements of the
quality function for all
industries. ISO 9001 gives you
the tools to grow a better
business through continuous
improvement and refined
processes. The latest version of
ISO 9001 is ISO 9001:2008. Today
more than 500,000 businesses
have achieved ISO 9001
certification throughout the
world, making it by far the most
recognized symbol for quality in
the global marketplace.

About
AS9100
AS9100 is an international
aerospace standard for quality
assurance in design,
development, production,
installation and servicing.
AS9100 was developed using ISO
9001:2000, AS9000 and EN9000-1,
and succeeds the AS9000 standard
by building upon the
requirements to produce a
harmonized standard that meets
the requirements of aerospace
companies worldwide. AS9100 is
the first single standard
accepted by and available for
use across the global aerospace
community. Additionally, AS
incorporates the requirements
necessary to address both, civil
and military aviation aerospace
needs.
The current version, AS9100 Rev.
C, is
the accepted standard and
includes the ISO 9001:2008
standard verbatim. In addition,
there are supplementary items
that address how the standard
applies to the Aerospace
Industry.

Supplier Requirements:
The Boeing Company required all
Boeing suppliers to be BQMS
(Boeing's Quality Management
System) approved or have a
waiver, effective December 2003.
AS9100 Rev C
is a significant part of
Boeing's BQMS requirements.
General Electric Aircraft
Engines (GEAE) is requiring
AS9100 certification for all new
suppliers, and existing
suppliers have a gap audit and a
certification audit performed to
coincide with their existing
surveillance audit schedule.
About
ISO 14001
Protection of the environment is
one of society's key goals. A
significant increase in
environmental awareness and
stricter environmental
regulations has led many
organizations to integrate
environmental protection into
their corporate management
systems structure.
Leading corporations have been
utilizing environmental
management systems (EMS) for
years to help them reach defined
environmental objectives. Now, a
streamlined environmental
management tool is available to
all corporations in the form of
ISO 14001, an internationally
recognized environmental
management system conformance
standard. Very similar in
structure to the ISO 9001
quality management system
standard, ISO 14001 outlines key
requirements to which companies
should comply in order to
operate in an environmentally
responsible manner.
The ISO 14000 elements provide
diverse organizations a
framework for managing and
continually improving their
environmental programs. Many
companies already monitor air
and water permits, or toxic use
reduction programs. Utilizing
ISO 14001, companies can now
merge environmental programs
into one coherent system to
efficiently manage all
environmental activities.
In short, ISO 14001 can provide
your company a competitive
advantage, by demonstrating to
your customers that your
environmental processes and
impact is effectively managed,
continually improving, and part
of the corporate management
system. (See
