ISO 9001 to AS9120 Transition Support
A structured route from ISO 9001 to AS9120 for aerospace stockists and distributors
If your business already holds ISO 9001 and supplies, or plans to supply, into the aerospace sector as a stockist or distributor, AS9120 is not just an administrative step.
It introduces tighter controls around traceability, supplier management, counterfeit part prevention, and stock handling – all of which are heavily tested during certification audits.
We provide a clear, end to end transition package from ISO 9001 to AS9120, built to pass certification audits and strengthen supply chain control.
The Transition Package
This service is delivered as a clear four stage package, tailored to your organisation’s size and scope.
1. AS9120 GAP Analysis
We assess your existing ISO 9001 system against AS9120 requirements to determine:
- 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. AS9120 Implementation
We strengthen and implement the controls AS9120 requires, focusing on:
- supplier approval and performance monitoring
- traceability, stock control, and record integrity
- counterfeit part prevention
- documented control of purchasing and distribution activities
The system is aligned to how your business actually operates – without unnecessary paperwork.
3. AS9120 Internal Audits
Before certification, we conduct an AS9120 focused internal audit to:
- test system effectiveness and evidence
- identify weaknesses before the certification body does
- raise clear, actionable findings
This ensures the system has been properly exercised before external audit.has been properly exercised before external audit. is aligned to how your business actually operates – without unnecessary paperwork.
