Based on the AS9100 Standard, the AS9110 adds specific requirements that are crucial to the maintenance and repair of private, commercial and military aircrafts.
This standard defines the quality system requirements and offers additional comprehensive requirements/criteria for overhaul facilities and the maintenance repair for the aircraft industry at all levels of the MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) process.
A good example of such a potential organization is a FAA-certified repair station. All those seeking PMA (Parts Manufacturing Approval) from the FAA to manufacture aircraft components and parts would also utilize AS9110. It should be noted that the specific quality management system requirements in this standard are complementary (not alternative) to regulatory requirements and contractual and applicable law.
Effective implementation of AS9110 would result in a robust quality management system that demonstrates continual improvement processes, conformity to applicable customer and regulatory requirements and overall enhancement of customer satisfaction.
