AS9100 / IA9100
Aerospace Quality Management
AS9100 is the ticket to aerospace and defense work today. IA9100 is the IAQG’s forthcoming international 9100 revision — same family, same customers, one WCH system that carries you through both. We implement AS9100D now and design it so the IA9100 transition is an upgrade, not a rebuild.
This standard is changing
AS9100D to IA9100 Aerospace Quality Management
In revision — aligned with ISO 9001
IA9100 is the planned successor to AS9100, issued as a single international document rather than separate regional versions. WCH implements AS9100D now and structures the system so the IA9100 transition is a controlled update.
When it changes, how to transition, and how WCH helpsWho it is for
Aerospace manufacturers, MRO organizations, electronics and machining suppliers, and defense contractors that must satisfy AS9100, the coming IA9100 requirements, customer flow-down, and DOD expectations.
What is at stake
Primes will not add you without a 9100 certificate. A weak implementation creates findings, customer escapes, and a painful IA9100 transition later. A precise system protects configuration, special processes, and on-time delivery — and is ready when the IAQG publishes IA9100.
The WCH approach
WCH builds AS9100 / IA9100 on a usable ISO 9001 core, then layers aerospace-specific controls: configuration management, risk, counterfeit parts, critical items, production process verification, and customer flow-down — without turning every work instruction into a novel. When IA9100 is released, we gap the live system against the new text and close only what changed.
