AS9100 incorporates all the elements of ISO 9001, plus additional elements unique to the aerospace industry. One of the important features of AS9100 is the resurrection of some critical elements of MIL-Q, the military specifications that were shelved when ISO 9000 first came on the scene.

The standard was developed by a committee of procurement, purchasing and quality executives from the major U.S. aerospace manufacturers as a way to reduce defects in the supplier chain; continually improve quality; boost customer satisfaction; and considerably reduce the number of hours spent on audits, requirements and documentation. Instead of having to comply with many differing quality requirements and standards for each customer, aerospace industry suppliers and subcontractors now had for the first time a single aerospace standard that would be accepted across the board.

The standard has become increasingly important to the thousands of companies who supply parts and services to aircraft and aerospace manufacturers. Most of the major aircraft engine manufacturers, such as General Electric’s Aircraft Engine division (GEAE), Boeing, Rolls-Royce Allison and Pratt & Whitney, are already requiring registration to AS9100. PJR is accredited by ANAB (formerly RAB) to register aerospace suppliers to AS9100.

In my eyes there is NO Better Registrar….than PJR. I have personally converted 4 separate Companies from other Registrars to PJR as PJR is a Top-Notch Registrar, FAR SUPERIOR to any other Registrars on the Market, as there is NO Better Registrar. I have personally NEVER had a Bad Experience dealing with PJR consisting of over 10 Audits for ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and AS9100 thru my years in Quality as a Quality Director or Quality Manager/Quality Management Representative. My opinion is comprised from the beginning to the end and receiving Certifications. All PJR Staffing could not be more Pleasurable to work with.

Darrin Vickers

We wrapped up our audit yesterday with our auditor. Nothing but good things to say. He is very thorough, and my management team is very pleased with the performance and professionality of PJR!

Barrett Jenkins

I’ve managed manufacturing facilities in a lot of places all over the world, each of which have had to have some form of 3rd party business systems validation/registration. I’ve been beyond impressed with the Perry Johnson process. You all have been very easy to work with, and the quality of your audits are top notch. It’s important that our company is able to identify nonconformances in our systems if they exist, and I felt like our auditor did a very thorough, effective job in that effort. Again, many thanks for your assistance with this achievement and I look forward to continuing to work with PJR into the future!
