AS9100C Objectives:
- Incorporate ISO 9001:2008 changes
- Expand scope to include land and sea based systems
for defense applications - Ensure alignment with IAQG strategy (on-time, on-quality
performance) - Adopt new requirements based on stakeholder needs
- Improve existing requirements where stakeholders
identified need for clarification - Here is a rationale for the changes from the IAQG
List of significant changes AS9100C:
This document reviews the changes from AS9100b to AS9100c in detail, but here is a summary:
Clause 1.1 (Scope) ADDITION
Scope extended beyond Aviation & Space to now include Defense
Clause 3 (New Definitions) ADDITION
Risk – an undesirable situation or circumstance that has both a likelihood of occurring and a potentially negative consequence. (Key to applying Risk Management)
Special Requirements – Those requirements which have high risks thus requiring their inclusion in the risk management process. Factors include:
-
- Product or Process Complexity
- Past Experience
- Product or Process Maturity
Critical Items – Those items having significant effect on the product realization and use of the product; including safety, performance, form, fit, function, producibility, service life, etc.; that require specific actions to ensure they are adequately managed. Examples include:
-
- Safety Critical Items
- Fracture Critical Items
- Mission Critical Items
- Key Characteristics
Clause 4.2.2 (Quality Manual Relationships) DELETION
Delete requirement to create a document showing the relationship between AS9100 requirements and the organization’s documented procedures
NOTE: Auditors need to identify appropriate documented procedures as an inherent part of the audit
Clauses 5.2 (Customer Focus/Satisfaction) ADDITION
Management responsibility for measuring ‘product conformity’ and ‘on-time delivery’ and for taking appropriate remedial actions
Requirement to evaluate customer satisfaction using specific QMS information, then develop plans that address deficiencies
Clause 7.1.1 (Project Management) ADDITION
New requirement for planning and managing product realization in a structured and controlled way to meet requirements at acceptable risk, within resource and schedule constraints
Clause 7.1.2 (Risk Management) ADDITION (See Risk Management Exercise)
New requirement to implement a risk management process applicable to the product and organization covering responsibility, criteria, mitigation & acceptance
Clause 7.1.3 (Configuration Management) Moved from 4.3
Structured in line with ISO 10007 requirements
Clause 7.1.4 (Work Transfer) Moved from 7.5
The organization must have a process to plan and control the transfer activities
Expanded to cover permanent transfer
Clause 7.4.1 (Recognition of Supplier Quality Data) REVISION
Objective and reliable data from external sources may be used during supplier selection and evaluation
Clause 7.4.3 (Validation of Test Reports) DELETION
Where the organization utilizes test reports to verify purchased product, the data in those reports shall be acceptable per applicable specifications
The organization shall periodically validate test reports for raw material
Clause 7.5.1.1 (Process Verification) Moved from 8.2.4.2
Requirement to validate the production processes, documentation and tooling are capable of producing parts and assemblies that meet requirements
This process shall be repeated when changes occur that invalidate the original results (e.g., engineering or manufacturing processes changes)
Clause 8.2.2 (Detailed Tools and Techniques) DELETION
Redundant to ISO 9001 text, too prescriptive
Clause 8.2.4 (Sampling Inspection) REVISION
When the organization uses sampling inspection as a means of product acceptance, the sampling plan shall be justified on the basis of recognized statistical principles and appropriate for use (i.e., matching the sampling plan to the criticality of the product and to the process capability)
