Delving into the differences between ISO 9001 and EN 9100

In this episode, we talk with Gaëlle LeBouar about the differences between ISO 9001 and EN 9100 and how they complement each other.

ISO 9001 certification signifies a company's commitment to delivering consistent quality products/services that meet customer expectations based on the seven principles of ISO 9001: customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision-making, and relationship management.

Specific to aviation, space, and defense (ASD) products and services industry, the IAQG 9100 standard (EN 9100, AS 9100, and JIS Q 9100) provides definitions and topics to address sector-unique requirements. Important topics within 9100 include operational risk management, configuration management, control of externally provided processes/products/services, and nonconformity treatment process.

We explain the distinction between the 9100 ICOP Scheme and the "traditional" scheme. Additionally, we learn how OASIS (Online Aerospace Supplier Information System) plays a crucial role in sharing accurate supplier information and simplifying the certification process.

Being ISO 9001 certified demonstrates a commitment to quality management, while the 9100 certification specifically validates compliance with aviation, space, and defense industry standards.

Listeners will gain insights into the significance of ISO 9001 and 9100 in quality management, particularly for aviation, space, and defense products and services sector.
