AS9131 - This standard defines the common nonconformance data definition and documentation that an internal or external supplier or sub-tier supplier must submit when informing a customer of a nonconformity. The requirements shall be are applicable for reporting a nonconforming product to the owner/operator (i.e., end item user), if specified by contract. Reporting of nonconformance data, either electronically or conventionally on paper, is subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. This also includes, where applicable, data access under export control regulations.

To assure customer satisfaction, aerospace industry manufacturers must produce world class quality products at the lowest possible cost. AS9000 standardizes, to the greatest extent possible, the quality system requirements of the aerospace industry. Standardization of compliance requirements results in cost savings due to the elimination or reduction of unique requirements developed for each different customer. AS9000 Appendix 1, AS9000 Audit Summary and Supplier Profile Instructions, facilitates the standardization of this process.

Limited to the Aerospace industry where an approved manufacturer requests a supplier to ship an article against the approved manufacturer’s quality system directly to a customer. The direct ship process is not required or applicable to standard parts or military parts. In this process the approved manufacturer is responsible for assurance that the article conforms to Type Design information.

This procedure shall be applied by ANSI-RAB or other Accreditation Bodies to registrars that meet the criteria of 5.2 of this document, when specified by an aerospace company requiring assessment and/or registration of their quality system to the requirements of this procedure. The quality system standard shall be AS9000 or AS9100 and shall be applied to the supplier's complete Quality System that covers aerospace products.

These requirements are applicable to Accreditation Bodies, Registrars and OEMs, when specified by an aerospace company requiring assessment and/or registration of their quality system in accordance with the requirements of this document. The quality management system standard shall be AS9000 or AS9100 and shall be applied to the organization’s complete Quality System that covers aerospace products.

The requirements defined in this AIR are applicable to Accreditation Bodies (ABs), Certification/Registration Bodies (CRBs), and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), during assessment and/or certification/registration to the applicable quality management system standard to meet industry accepted practices.

Para garantir a satisfação dos clientes as organizações de defesa, aviação e aeroespacial devem fornecer e melhorar continuamente produtos e serviços, seguros e confiáveis, que atendam ou excedam os requisitos legais e regulamentares aplicáveis dos clientes. A globalização da indústria e a diversidade resultante das necessidades e expectativas regionais e nacionais têm dificultado este objetivo. As organizações têm o desafio de comprar produtos e serviços de fornecedores em todo o mundo, em todos os níveis da cadeia de suprimento. Os fornecedores têm o desafio de fornecer produtos e serviços a vários clientes com diferentes necessidades e expectativas de qualidade.

The purpose of ARP9013/2 is to ensure conformance for each product characteristic being verified in each lot in the series. ARP9013/2 document specifies a product acceptance system using either attribute or variable lot acceptance methods documented in ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, ANSI/ASQC Z1.9, and “Zero Acceptance Number Sampling Plans” by Nicholas L. Squeglia.

The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to ensure conformance for each product characteristic being verified in a lot, without maintaining information from previous lots. ARP9013/1 specifies a product acceptance system for isolated lots. For example, isolated lot sampling avoids keeping track of the normal, tightened, and reduced levels of sampling formerly used in MIL-STD-105 and currently used in ANSI/ASQC Z1.4. Because those switching rules provided significant long-term protection for product quality, these isolated lot tables replace that protection in other ways.

The purpose of ARP9013/4 is to ensure conformance for each product characteristic being verified under these methods. ARP9013/4 provides the requirements for continuous sampling, skip-lot sampling, and for statistical methods for product acceptance that do not derive from industry standard tables.

This document shall be applied by accreditation bodies, registrars and other providers of training for the instruction of auditors or other professionals for specialization for the aerospace industry per the requirements of AIR5359. Additionally, this document applies to all organizations qualifying Aerospace Auditors in support of Aerospace Quality Systems standards AS9000 and AS9100.

Operator Self-Verification can apply to a variety of processes. The primary focus is on traditional manufacturing operations, but applications can be made wherever traditional inspection methods are employed. The practices recommended in this document are intended to identify the basic elements for structuring Operator Self-Verification programs within the aerospace industry; applicable to producers of commercial and military aircraft and weapons platforms, space vehicles, and all related hardware, software, electronics, engines and composite components. Operator Self-Verification programs are applied to improve overall efficiency and product quality to processes considered mature, as judged by the organization. Operator Self-Verification programs are not stand-alone processes, but augment existing quality management system standard requirements.

This document describes requirements for standardized processes (and associated technologies) that ensure type design data are retrievable and usable for the life of a type certificate (50+ years). These processes are primarily concerned with, but not limited to, digital type design data retained in three-dimensional representations and associated data that is required for complete product definition, such as tolerances, specification call-outs, product structure and configuration control data, etc. This process standard includes process requirements for managing the evolution of technologies required to ensure the availability of the data for the life of the product. This data must be available to meet regulatory, legal, contractual and business requirements. This process standard is not intended to incorporate every company specific requirement and does not dictate specific organizational structures within a company.

These requirements are applicable to IAQG sector schemes when making use of ABs, CRBs and their auditors, for the assessment and certification/registration of supplier quality systems in accordance with the requirements of this document. The quality management system standard used by the CRB shall be 9100/9110/9120, as appropriate to the supplier’s activities. It shall be applied to the supplier’s complete Quality System that covers aerospace products. Sectors may use these requirements for other standards. IAQG members have committed to recognize the equivalence of certification/registration of a suppliers quality management system to either of the AS, EN or JISQ/SJAC standards. This AS provides the approval process for Auditor Authentication Bodies (AAB), training course providers, trainers and auditors who meet the requirements of AIR5493 and outlines the America’s sector specific process to implement AS9104. This document is created to be in conformance with AS9104.
