Moved  

confi guration management to clause 7.1.3

and added more detail

This clause was moved from 4.3 to 7.1.3 to focus on product confi guration management and to add requirements in keeping with ISO 10007, the confi guration management standard.⁴

Even though confi guration management was moved to clause 7, AS&D organizations will be expected to have a confi guration management process appropriate to the product. Any section 7 exclusions are required to be justifi able and not affect the organization’s ability or responsibility to provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. 

Moved control of work transfer to clause 7.1.4

This clause is being broadened to include all work transfers, not just temporary production transfers as in the current AS9100. Therefore, work transfer was moved from clause 7.5.4 (production) to clause 7.1.4 to have a process to plan and control all transfer activities within product realization.

Added a note to consider using recognized 

certifi cations 

as part of the supplier control process

A note was added into clause 7.4.1 for organizations to consider using supplier quality data from objective and reliable external sources, such as AS9100 other-party certifi cation, for use in the supplier selection and evaluation process. 

Moved fi rst article inspection to clause 7.5.1.1 and renamed production process 

verifi cation 

This is the formal requirement to validate production processes, documentation and tooling for the fi rst production run of a new part or assembly and to repeat the process when necessary (engineering or manufacturing processes changes). In moving this from 8.2.4.2 (measurement) to 7.5.1.1 (production), the intent remains the same but is now worded to be applicable to all AS9100 stakeholders.

Product quality and on-time delivery performance

This new requirement is added to clauses 5.2 and 8.2.1. It requires product conformity and on-time delivery be measured and appropriate actions be taken if planned results are not achieved. This reinforces the IAQG objectives to link QMS and organizational performance.

Formal 

monitoring 

of customer satisfaction data 

This revision has added a requirement in clause 8.2.1 to monitor customer satisfaction data and develop improvement plans that address defi ciencies. This addition will promote continuous improvement of the product and customer satisfaction.
