REVISIONS OF AEROSPACE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS STANDARDS PUBLISHED
"AS9100D, Quality Management Systems - Requirements for
Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations," a standard for
quality management systems requirements for aviation, space
and defense organizations, was published in September.

*	 AS9101F, Quality Management Systems Audit Requirements
for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations

"AS9100 Revision D integrates an organization's strategic
objectives and business processes by directly linking them to
the quality management system, which, when combined with
risk-based thinking and the identification of opportunities,
enables this revision to provide more value to the organization,"
said Alan Daniels, chair of the SAE G-14 Americas Aerospace
Quality Standards Committee (AAQSC).

*	 AS9120B, Quality Management Systems - Requirements for
Aviation, Space and Defense Distributors

The standard has been revised to incorporate the requirements
of ISO 9001:2015. The revision takes into consideration aviation,
space and defense stakeholders' needs, and it incorporates
clarifications to 9100 series requested by IAQG users since the
last revision.

*	 AS9110C, Quality Management Systems - Requirements for
Aviation Maintenance Organizations

The G-14 committee also issued these three new standards in
November:
*	 AS9145, Aerospace Series - Requirements for Advanced
Product Quality Planning and Production Part Approval
Process
*	 AS9162, Aerospace Operator Self-Verification Programs
*	 ARP9136, Aerospace Series - Root Cause Analysis and
Problem Solving (9S Methodology)

Revisions of these aerospace quality standards were also
issued in October and November:

2017 IS 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST AEROSPACE STANDARD
In 2017, SAE International will celebrate the 100
year legacy of SAE aerospace standards. Next
year will mark the 100th anniversary of the first
aerospace standard - for an interchangeable
aircraft engine spark plug - which was published
in early 1917.
Throughout its history, SAE has worked with industry,
government and regulatory agencies to create an extensive
family of standards that form the technical basis of regulations

and government requirements that are essential for aircraft
certification, airworthiness, and interoperability.
In addition to globally-adopted Aerospace Standards (AS),
Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS), Aerospace Industry
Reports (AIR) and Aerospace Recommended Practices (ARP),
SAE offers numerous supporting programs to serve industry's
growing need for future harmonized solutions, and knowledge
programs such as events and lifelong engineering education that
work to serve current practitioners and the engineers of the future.

CONSENSUS BASED STANDARDS AND MORE FROM SAE INTERNATIONAL
While consensus-based standards are the cornerstone of the program responsible for developing more vehicle
technical standards than any other organization, SAE International also offers a full range of development
capabilities for global standardization including:
* Standards Consortium Administration * Cooperative Research * Database Creation and Management
* Accreditation and Certification * Committee Management
