G-9 COMMITTEE CELEBRATES ITS 75TH MEETING
SAE's AMS G-9, Aerospace Sealing Committee, celebrated
its history - plus the 100th anniversary of SAE aerospace
standards - at its 75th meeting celebration, May 2, at the
University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI).
The committee held its first meeting in 1979, and since then
has published 54 standards and 7 recommended practices
for aerospace sealants. It focuses on the sealing of aerospace
vehicles for fluid containment and environmental protection

by the use of sealants which are applied and cured to solid
materials or are permanently mastic. This includes the
preparation of sealant material specifications, aerospace
recommended practices for sealing processes, and related
activities.
The co-chairs of the committee are Alan Fletcher and
Diane Kleinschmidt.

ENHANCED DATABASE OF AEROSPACE SUPPLIER INFORMATION RELEASED
The International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) released
its Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS)
NextGen database on April 20. This database provides
enhanced functionality to generate records, manage
certification activities, facilitate the collection of Industry
Controlled Other Party (ICOP) performance metrics, and meet
stakeholder expectations.
"The OASIS database is an important tool that fosters
trust among aerospace companies, the supply chain, and
certification bodies," David L. Schutt, PhD, Chief Executive
Officer of SAE International, said. "We are pleased to partner
with IAQG to help make this resource available to the
aerospace industry."
OASIS NextGen enables the aerospace industry to move
toward a fully integrated system. The database contains
all information related to ICOP certifications, auditors,
guidance and audit results. Only general information such as
accreditation bodies, certification bodies, certified supplier
sites, and approved auditors is publicly accessible. Audit
result data access is strictly controlled by the certified
organization. The database includes a robust stakeholder
feedback process to industry leaders, certification bodies and
document representatives.
"The OASIS database is the cornerstone of the ICOP process
between the IAQG accreditation/certification bodies and
certified organizations leading to year over year quality
improvement in the aviation, space, and defense industries,"
said IAQG President William Schmiege, Group President,
Integrity, Parker Aerospace.

SAE and IAQG OASIS Core Team members included
representatives from OEM's, industry, certification bodies, and
auditors from around the world.
The IAQG is an international non-profit association under the
Belgian law with office registered in Brussels (Belgium). The
IAQG is a cooperative organization within the aerospace and
defense industry comprised of 3 sectors (Americas - AAQG,
Asia/Pacific - APAQG and Europe - EAQG). IAQG's purpose
is to establish and maintain a dynamic cooperation based on
trust between aerospace and defense companies on initiatives
to make significant improvements in quality performance
and reductions in cost throughout the value stream; and to
continuously improve the processes used by the supply chain
to consistently deliver high quality products, thereby reducing
non-value added activities and costs.
