Transcription

1 Final Version International Aerospace Quality Group IAQG Document June 2001 WG1/40/01 Requirements for Aerospace Supplier Quality System Certification / Registration schemes for use by the IAQG Sectors Foreword In December 1998, the Aerospace Industry has established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) with the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value stream. The IAQG has developed specific requirements for quality systems that are to be implemented and maintained throughout the supply chain in the manufacture of products used in aviation and space applications. These requirements are published simultaneously as AS/EN/JIS 9100-series by SAE in the USA, AECMA in Europe and JIS Q in Japan. Other countries will follow with technical identical national standards. In this document these standards will be indicated as A further initiative of the IAQG was the development of a truly global scheme for the use of assessment results performed by certification bodies/registrars, based on the these 9100 series standards and taking into account the schemes already in use or under development in the various IAQG sectors. All these schemes are have two major elements in common: - use of a voluntary certification/registration scheme with specific aerospace elements and requirements, under the supervision and control of the aerospace industry - a harmonised approach to the certification bodies/registrars. and with the purpose to improve the quality level and control throughout the whole supply chain. This procedure provides requirements for sectorial/regional schemes for the controlled use of assessment results of certification bodies/registrars, based on three fundamentals: - the use of approved certification bodies/registrars - the use of qualified and approved auditors - the use of international aerospace standards for quality management systems in aerospace industry This procedure addresses the following issues: a) qualification and accreditation of certification bodies/registrars b) assessment of quality systems by accredited certification bodies/registrars c) the principles for determining the content and duration of assessments d) reporting and control of non-conformity e) the form of registration recommendations f) minimum standards of qualification and experience for aerospace auditors employed by certification bodies/registrars g) authentication of auditors by certification bodies/registrars, Accreditation Bodies and the IAQG sectors DRAFT 30 th May March Jan [1] Requirements Guidelines for Aerospace...
