AS9120
AS9120 is a sector-specific standard for the aerospace industry. It specifically targets aerospace suppliers known as “stockist distributors” or “pass-through distributors” to aerospace OEMs. These are companies that resell, warehouse and distribute parts for aircraft manufacturers – that is, businesses that only accumulate and distribute parts and materials rather than add value or work on the products themselves. Such parts typically include fasteners, raw materials, or aircraft components. The latter may include cabin components, electronic units for cockpits, or airframe assemblies.
This standard is intended to replace SAE standard AS7103, which is currently listed in the FAA’s Advisory Circulator 00-56, Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Programme. While AS9100 includes ISO 9001:2000 in its entirety, AS9120 does not.
