CHICAGO - Effective 28 June, 2008 all Boeing suppliers
that have been previously certified to the Boeing
Quality Management System (BQMS) will be required
to maintain AS/EN/JISQ 9100 standard certified by
an Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP).
Their goal is to establish a consistent quality management
system with the Americas and the rest of the international
market. Currently, the AS9003 standard is unique to
the Americas. When Boeing requires a quality management
system for procurements, AS9100 will be the accepted
certification.
It is recommended that suppliers follow these steps
for achieving certification: contact a manufacturing
funding source for the project, select vendor for
assistance in preparing for registration audit and
the selection of a aerospace certification body (Registrar).
