What is AS9120?

AS9120 is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system specifically designed for distributors of aviation, space, and defense (AS&D) products. It's based on the ISO 9001 standard, but includes additional requirements tailored for the AS&D industry. AS9120 emphasizes product safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance throughout the supply chain. It focuses on areas such as purchasing controls, inventory management, traceability, inspection, and record keeping. Distributors often seek AS9120 certification to demonstrate their commitment to quality and to meet the requirements of their customers, who are typically aerospace manufacturers or other organizations involved in the AS&D sector. Certification to AS9120 demonstrates a distributor's ability to maintain the integrity of products, prevent counterfeit parts from entering the supply chain, and ensure products conform to applicable requirements.
