1 SAE AIR5359A Requirements for Registration of Quality Systems to AS9100 Nik Sutton Boeing IDS This briefing contains non technical data reviewed by Export Compliance in log number RBE (assigned IAW PRO-4527)

2 SAE AIR5359A F Discussion Topics: –Purpose of Presentation –What is AIR5359A –Industry History –Fundamentals of AIR5359A –Benefits –Status To-Date –Next Steps –Opportunities for NASA Use

3 SAE AIR5359A F Purpose of Presentation: –Educate the QLF community on additional Aerospace controls of SAE AIR5359A –Provide opportunity for NASA to consider adoption of SAE AIR5359A as part of overall audit methodology

4 SAE AIR5359A F What is SAE AIR5359A? –“Aerospace Information Report” –Developed by Americas Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG), released through SAE –Procedure designed to provide standard requirements for qualification and management of: u Aerospace auditors u Accreditation bodies u Registrars –Establishes requirement for AAQG member companies to provide oversight of Certified Registration Bodies (CRB) process

5 SAE AIR5359A F Industry History –Industry CRB party certification process was not standardized relative to AS9100 aerospace sector –Aerospace companies required more control over CRB registration process –Release of AS9100 caused new certification process to be established for performance of ISO Quality Management System audits –AAQG took initiative to improve controls and ensure Integrity AS9100 Certifications

6 SAE AIR5359A F Fundamentals of AIR5359A: –Assessment of quality systems by CRB’s. –Principles for determining audit content & duration –Reporting and control of nonconformance –Process for recommending registration –Validity period of registration –Minimum standards of qualification and experience for aerospace auditors –Authentication of aerospace auditors

7 SAE AIR5359A F Benefits: –Standardizes requirements in the aerospace industry –Insures industry control over CRB certification –Lowers cost to supply base: u Standardized audit approach u Fewer audits due to industry recognition of audit results –Improves overall audit process due to robust requirements established in document u e.g., aerospace company oversight

8 SAE AIR5359A F Status To-Date: –May 2002 u Industry oversight team kick-off meeting held u Boeing witness of registrar audit of Certification Registration Bodies (CRB) –June 2002 u Team status provided to AAQG u Boeing launched beta test program to identify registration health to new AS9100 and audit process –July 2002 u Completion of draft procedure to manage aerospace company oversight activity –September 2002 u Draft procedure approved by Registrar Management Committee (RMC)
