AS9100 is the quality management systems standard applicable to companies that supply to aerospace and defense industries.
This standard incorporates all of ISO 9001 with additional industry specific requirements for aerospace.
The AS9100 standard was released in October, 1999, by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the European Association of Aerospace Industries. It replaced the AS9000 released earlier and incorporated the complete version of ISO 9000. In addition to those requirements it added specific requirements relating to quality and safety. Most major aerospace manufacturers and suppliers worldwide require their suppliers compliance and/or registration to AS9100 as a condition.

- Access to new markets because many organizations require AS9100 Registration
- Customer requirement because many organizations require certification to continue or to begin doing business
