Build an Aerospace Quality System Ready for Demanding Customer Expectations.
OINDC helps aerospace and aviation supply-chain organizations assess, implement and strengthen AS9100D requirements through practical process controls, risk management, configuration control, traceability, supplier management, internal audits, training and certification readiness.
Important Statement: OINDC provides AS9100D consulting, gap assessment, implementation, training, internal-audit and certification-readiness support. Certification is performed by an independent certification body, which controls its audit process and certification decision.
What Is AS9100D?
AS9100D is the standardized quality management system framework for organizations operating in the aviation, space, and defence sectors. Building upon the ISO 9001:2015 standard, it incorporates critical industry-specific requirements for operational risk, product safety, configuration management, counterfeit part prevention, and stringent traceability.
Who Should Consider AS9100D?
- ✓ Aerospace component & precision engineering manufacturers
- ✓ Avionics, electrical & electronic component suppliers
- ✓ Machining, fabrication, casting, forging & special-process shops
- ✓ Defence & space-sector contractors preparing for OEM qualification
OINDC AS9100D Support Scope
AS9100D Aerospace-Specific Focus Areas
Key quality and operational requirements mandatory for aviation and defence compliance.
1. Operational Risk Management
Identify, evaluate and control operational risks affecting product safety, process output, and delivery commitments.
2. Product Safety
Establish clear responsibilities and operational controls to assure product safety throughout the lifecycle.
3. Configuration Management
Maintain strict control over engineering drawings, process modifications, and revision status.
4. Traceability & Identification
Ensure complete end-to-end material and batch traceability from raw material to dispatch.
5. Counterfeit Part Prevention
Deploy screening, procurement verification, and controls to prevent suspect parts from entering production.
6. Special Process Validation
Control heat-treatment, plating, welding, and NDT processes where quality cannot be verified post-production.
7. External Provider Controls
Apply risk-based evaluation, monitoring, and flow-down of customer requirements to your supply chain.
8. On-Time Delivery Monitoring
Monitor delivery metrics rigorously and address process bottlenecks impacting schedule commitments.

AS9100D FAQ
Common questions from aerospace component manufacturers.
What is the difference between ISO 9001 and AS9100D?
AS9100D incorporates the complete ISO 9001:2015 baseline but adds critical aviation, space, and defence requirements such as operational risk management, counterfeit part prevention, configuration control, and product safety.
Does OINDC issue AS9100D certificates directly?
No. OINDC provides consulting, gap assessment, implementation, training, and audit-readiness support. Formal certification audits are conducted independently by accredited third-party certification bodies.
Why is configuration management mandatory in AS9100D?
Configuration management ensures that your plant controls approved product/process revisions, engineering changes, and technical data accurately so that components match exact customer specifications.
Can an ISO 9001 certified company upgrade to AS9100D easily?
Yes. Your ISO 9001 framework serves as the foundation. OINDC helps you bridge the gap by implementing aerospace risk controls, product safety mechanisms, lot traceability, and counterfeit part prevention.
