Frequently Asked Questions

What certifications should an aerospace CNC shop in California have?
For aerospace work, AS9100 is the baseline quality management certification. Many California aerospace shops also hold ITAR registration for defense work, Nadcap accreditation for special processes (heat treat, coatings, NDT), and ISO 9001 as an underpinning system. Always confirm the certification scope covers the specific processes and materials you need.
How do I verify an aerospace CNC shop's AS9100 certification?
Ask the supplier for a copy of their AS9100 certificate, which should show the issuing registrar (such as BSI, DNV, or Bureau Veritas), the certificate number, and the scope of registration. You can cross-check active certificates in the OASIS database maintained by IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group) at iaqg.org/oasis.
What is the difference between AS9100 and ISO 9001 for CNC shops?
ISO 9001 is a general quality management standard applicable to any industry. AS9100 includes all ISO 9001 requirements plus additional requirements specific to aerospace: configuration management, first-article inspection (FAI), counterfeit parts prevention, key characteristics, and risk management. Most aerospace prime contractors require their CNC machine shops to hold AS9100, not just ISO 9001.
