EN 9101, “Quality Management Systems. Audit Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defence Organisations,” has been updated! The new 2015 Edition has been adopted for use in the European Union and is available now from Document Center Inc. We’ll find that there’s a number of national editions, some released and some pending. And we’ll discuss the status of the U.S. Edition of the standard (AS 9101) as well.
Why are EN 9101 and other similar standards being revised? The 2015 Edition for ISO 9001 is prompting modifications of the “children” standards that are tailored for specific industries like aerospace. Basically this means that the changes to the ISO 9001 now will trickle down through the many variants that have been generated for targeted audiences.
Which editions of the EN 9101 2015 Edition are available? Currently the BS EN 9101 2015 Edition is published. It’s available in paper format for $318.00. The SS EN 9101 2015 Edition is available in both paper and pdf format, priced at $162.82 a copy. The DIN EN 9101 2015 Edition is not released yet.
What about the AS 9101? The U.S. publication of this standard is under revision right now. The committee is working on a new Revision F which will replace the current Revision E from 3/2014. There is no firm date when the new release will be available.
