ISO 9001 to AS9100 Transition Support
A structured route from ISO 9001 to AS9100 for aerospace manufacturers and service providers.
If your business already holds ISO 9001 and is entering aviation, space, or defence supply chains, AS9100 is not a simple extension of what you already have.
It introduces deeper controls, higher expectations of leadership, and far more scrutiny of risk, change, suppliers, and product safety.
We provide a clear, end to end transition package from ISO 9001 to AS9100 – designed to pass certification audits and strengthen how your business operates in an aerospace environment.
The Transition Package
This service is delivered as a clear four stage package, tailored to your organisation’s size, scope, and complexity.
1. AS9100 GAP Analysis
We assess your existing ISO 9001 system against AS9100 requirements to establish:
- what already works and can be retained
- where gaps exist against aerospace expectations
- which areas present the highest audit and business risk
You receive a clear, prioritised roadmap – not a generic checklist.
2. AS9100 Implementation
We strengthen and implement the controls AS9100 genuinely requires, focusing on:
- risk management embedded into planning and operations
- configuration management and change control
- product safety and human factors
- control of suppliers, special requirements, and key characteristics
The system is aligned to how your business actually operates – without unnecessary paperwork.
3. AS9100 Internal Audits
Before certification, we carry out an AS9100 focused internal audit to:
- test the effectiveness of the system
- confirm evidence is available and credible
- identify weaknesses before the certification body does
This ensures the system has been properly exercised before external audit. is aligned to how your business actually operates – without unnecessary paperwork.
4. Certification Body Support
We support you through the certification process by:
- preparing leadership and process owners
- reviewing audit evidence and readiness
- supporting Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits
- assisting with the closure of any findings
The aim is a controlled, predictable certification audit – not fire fighting. business actually operates – without unnecessary paperwork.

- Already hold ISO 9001
