Criteria AS9104-Requirments for Aerospace Quality Management system Certification/Registrations Programs AS9104-2-Requirments for Oversight of Aerospace Quality Management System Registration/Certification Programs

What is Supplemental Oversight? The IAQG has established a shared oversight process to support the minimum requirements of AS9104 ( 1office audit and 1 witness audit). An AAQG member company may chose to supplement this activity with additional oversight activities such as, supplier quality evaluations, CB audit report reviews, witness audits, OASIS data review etc… These reports should be summarized submitted to the RMC and applicable CB. NOTE: The intent of supplemental oversight is not to duplicate SMS activities, but to ensure that if an IAQG member company conducts ICOP oversight that it shall be accomplished using trained OP assessors and the tools contained within this standard shall be utilized ( an additional CB office audit may not add value).

Supplemental Oversight IAQG member companies may conduct additional oversight, above the minimum AS9104-2 requirements and outside the sector management structure (SMS) shared oversight schedule. This oversight activity must not be a duplication of SMS activity, but may be linked to IAQG member analysis of internal industry controlled other party (ICOP) recognition activity ( e.g., number of CB clients, complaints, number of audits, copy of the audit report, assessment score etc…) (AS9104-2, 5.2.1, 2006)

Supplemental Oversight IAOG members shall ensure that only qualified OP assessors are assigned to conduct supplemental oversight assessments. The oversight activity must be scheduled and coordinated with all affected parties in advance of assessment conduct. When applicable, the oversight assessment tools contained in this standard (AS9104-2) should be utilized. (AS9104-2, 5.2.1, 2006)

Supplemental Oversight Any nonconformity identified shall be recorded on an Oversight Nonconformity Record (see Appendix J) and resolved in accordance with the complaint process defined in this standard. IAQG members companies shall maintain records of supplemental oversight. Supplemental IAQG member oversight activities shall be summarized and reported to the member’s global SMS on an annual basis. (AS9104-2, 5.2.1, 2006)

Summary In accordance with AS9104 6.4f, the CRB shall agree to periodic surveillance and witness audits by the ABs and by IAQG sectors. ABs shall conduct annual witness audits of CRBs holding AQMS accreditation. IAQG member companies shall perform oversight of CRBs used by their suppliers and report results to the SMS as established in each sector. NOTE: This activity should be supplemental not a duplicate. The results of this supplemental activity should be summarized in a year-end report and submitted to the RMC
