Foreword
This European Standard (EN 9104:2006) has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace
Manufacturers - Standardization (AECMA-STAN).
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
AECMA, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by October 2006.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
In December 1998, the Aerospace Industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)
with the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value
stream.
The IAQG has developed specific requirements for quality systems that are to be implemented and
maintained throughout the supply chain in the design, manufacture and maintenance of products used in
aviation and space applications. These requirements are published simultaneously as AS/EN/JISQ 9100-
series by SAE in the Americas, AECMA in Europe and JISQ in Asia/Pacific. Other countries will follow with
technically identical national standards.
In this European Standard, these standards are indicated as Aerospace Quality Management Systems
(AQMS) Standards.
A further initiative of the IAQG was the development of a truly global scheme for the use of assessment
results performed by Certification/Registration Bodies (CRBs), based on the 9100-series standards and taking
into account the schemes already in use or under development in the various IAQG sectors.
All these schemes have two major elements in common:
 Use of a voluntary certification/registration scheme with specific aerospace elements and requirements,
under the supervision and control of the aerospace industry.
 A harmonized approach to the CRBs with the purpose to improve the quality level and control throughout
the whole supply chain.
This European Standard provides requirements for sectorial/regional schemes for the controlled use of
assessment results of CRBs, based on three fundamentals:
 Use of accredited CRBs.
 Use of qualified and approved aerospace auditors.
 Use of international aerospace standards for quality management systems in aerospace industry.
This European Standard addresses the following issues:
a) Qualification and accreditation of CRBs.
b) Assessment of quality systems by accredited CRBs.
c) The principles for determining the content and duration of assessments.

d) Reporting and control of nonconformities.
e) The form of registration recommendations.
f) Minimum standards of qualification and experience for aerospace auditors employed by CRBs.
g) Authentication of auditors by CRBs, Accreditation Bodies (ABs) and the IAQG sectors.
h) Oversight of ABs by applicable Sector Management Structure (SMS).
i) Oversight of CRBs by applicable SMS and IAQG Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).
j) Operation of the IAQG oversight function.
This European Standard introduces certification/registration to the 9110 (maintenance organizations) and
9120 (stockist/distributors) standards, use of ISO 19011, mandatory use of the scoring process, as well as a
number of clarifications and detail improvements resulting from the initial operation of the scheme. The
requirements of this document are effective upon publication.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

appear to be a conflict of interest, either through consulting or the offering of training to a potential client
this shall be disclosed to the AB and the SMS prior to performing the registration process to determine if
there is a conflict of interest.
NOTE If a CRB performs training for an organization for which it will provide registration services, the training shall be
conducted and managed separately from the CRB’s certification/registration program and in full conformance with ISO/IEC
Guide 62 and IAF Guidance on the Application of ISO/IEC Guide 62. In addition any training of auditors for AQMS
