AS9100D Certification Process at Vegas Consulting APAC
Our structured consulting approach helps organizations implement AS9100D efficiently while minimizing disruption to day-to-day operations. We guide you through every phase—from initial assessment to certification audit readiness.
Step 1: Gap Analysis
We begin understand your business, certification objectives, products, processes, and customer requirements. Our consultants evaluate your existing Quality Management System against AS9100D requirements and identify compliance gaps.
Step 2: QMS Documentation
We design an AS9100D-compliant QMS tailored to your operations, product scope, and customer requirements. This includes the quality manual, documented procedures for all AS9100D-specific processes, risk registers, configuration management plans, and customer-specific requirements (CSRs) flow-down documentation.
Step 3: Implementation
We support your team through the implementation phase — training your quality, production, and engineering staff on AS9100D requirements, establishing FOD prevention programmes, setting up First Article Inspection processes, and building the operational records that auditors examine during certification.
Step 4: Internal Audit
Before the certification audit, we conduct a comprehensive internal audit against AS9100D requirements. Non-conformances and areas of weakness are identified and closed before the external auditor arrives.
Step 5: Certification Audit
We coordinate with your chosen IAQG-accredited certification body for the Stage 1 (document review) and Stage 2 (on-site) certification audits.
Step 6: Post Certification Support
AS9100D certification requires annual surveillance audits and a three-year recertification cycle. We provide ongoing post-certification support to keep your QMS effective, your documentation current, and your team audit-ready between cycles — including support for customer-specific audits and OEM qualification assessments.
