AS9110 is the aerospace quality management system standard specifically developed for organisations performing maintenance, repair and overhaul activities. While aligned to ISO 9001, AS9110 introduces additional, non-negotiable requirements focused on airworthiness, safety, human factors, configuration control and risk.
Assent Risk Management provides specialist AS9110 consultancy to help aerospace maintenance organisations design, implement and maintain management systems that meet certification requirements and withstand regulatory and customer scrutiny.

Who does AS9110 Applies To?
AS9110 is intended for organisations whose activities directly affect the continued airworthiness of aircraft or components, including:
Aircraft base and line maintenance organisations
Engine, component and parts overhaul providers
Approved maintenance organisations and repair stations
Defence and civil aviation MRO contractors
Specialist maintenance and support service providers
Where maintenance activities are in scope, AS9110 is the appropriate standard, not AS9100 or ISO 9001 on its own. Achieving AS9110 Certification can open doors to the aerospace supply chain!

Integration With Existing Approvals and Systems
AS9110 should not operate as a parallel system.
We design AS9110 management systems that integrate cleanly with other frameworks in the sector.
The objective is a single, coherent management system that reduces duplication and audit fatigue rather than increasing it.

Our Aerospace-experienced consultants and auditors have a clear understanding of MRO operational realities through industry, military and certification experience.
We work with organisations that require credible, proportionate and defensible compliance.
