SIST EN 9101:2018
EN 9101:2018 (E)
Rationale
This standard has been revised to incorporate the requirements for accredited Certification Bodies
(CBs) introduced by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) / International
Electrotechnical Commission EN ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, the 2016 changes to International Aerospace
Quality Group EN 9100-series standards Quality Management System (QMS) requirements, and inputs
received from interested parties relating to process-based auditing methods and the evaluation of
process effectiveness.Foreword
To assure customer satisfaction, aviation, space, and defence organizations must provide and
continually improve safe and reliable products and services that meet or exceed customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The globalization of the industry and the resulting
diversity of regional and national requirements and expectations have complicated this objective.
Organizations have the challenge of purchasing products and services from suppliers, throughout the
world, at all levels of the supply chain. Suppliers have the challenge of delivering products and services
to multiple customers having varying quality requirements and expectations.Industry established the IAQG, with representatives from aviation, space, and defence companies in the
Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe, to implement initiatives that make significant improvements in
quality and reductions in cost throughout the value stream.This document has been prepared by the IAQG and standardizes the requirements for conducting and
reporting of QMS audits. It can be used at all levels of the supply chain by organizations around the
world.It provides requirements for an audit and reporting process, based on the:
• process and continual improvement approach defined in EN 9100-series standards;
• specific aviation, space, and defence additions in EN 9100-series standards;• use of common audit tools; and
• uniform, transparent, and standardized reporting of audit results.
In this standard, the following terms are used:
• “shall” indicates a requirement;
• “should” indicates a recommendation;
• “may” indicates a permission; and
• “can” indicates a possibility or capability.
Words “typical”, “example”, or “e. g.” indicate suggestions given for guidance. Information marked
“NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
Auditing is a basic tool to assess effective implementation of and conformity to QMS requirements. In
addition to assessing conformity, this standard focuses on the evaluation of effectiveness
(see EN ISO 9000 clause 3.7.11) of the QMS and its associated processes.An organization is not only required to be in conformity with QMS requirements, but to be effective in
meeting customer expectations and delivering products and services that meet those expectations.
Additionally, this standard takes into account the requirements presented in the 2016 revisions of the
EN 9100-series standards.0.2 Auditing approach
This standard supports the engagement and evaluation of an organization's QMS process approach, as
required by the EN 9100-series standards. When evaluating an organization's QMS, there are basic
questions that should be asked of every process, for example:a) Is the process appropriately determined?
b) Are responsibilities assigned?
c) Are the processes adequately implemented and maintained?
d) Is the process effective in achieving the desired results?
The collective answers to these and other associated questions will contribute to the evaluation results.
In addition, product and service quality (as delivered), customer satisfaction, and QMS effectiveness can
be considered as interrelated. This relationship should be reflected in the audit process and associated
results.0.3 Audit records and reports
This standard defines the audit records and reports to be generated, during the audit process. They are
critical in providing the organization and its customers with objective evidence on the conformity and
effectiveness of the QMS (including process effectiveness), and reporting the audit results in a standard
format/structure.---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

1 Scope
1.1 General
This document defines requirements for the preparation and execution of the audit process. In addition,
it defines the content and composition for the audit reporting of conformity and process effectiveness to
the EN 9100-series standards, the organization's QMS documentation, and customer and
statutory/regulatory requirements.The requirements in this document are additions or represent changes to the requirements and
guidelines in the standards for conformity assessment, auditing, and certification as published by
ISO/IEC (i. e., EN ISO/IEC 17000, EN ISO/IEC 17021-1). When there is conflict with these standards, the
requirements of the EN 9101 standard shall take precedence.NOTE 1 In this standard, the term “EN 9100-series standards” comprises the following Aerospace Quality
Management System (AQMS) standards: EN 9100, EN 9110, and EN 9120; developed by the IAQG and published
by various national standards bodies.NOTE 2 In addition to this standard, the IAQG publishes deployment support material on the IAQG website
(see http://www.sae.org/iaqg/) that can be used by audit teams, when executing the audit process.
1.2 ApplicationThis document shall be used for audits of EN 9100-series standards by CBs for certification of
organizations, under the auspices of the aviation, space, and defence industry certification scheme [also
known as the Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) scheme]. The ICOP scheme requirements are
defined in the EN 9104-series standards (i. e., EN 9104-001, EN 9104-002, EN 9104-003).
NOTE Relevant parts of this standard can also be used by an organization in support of internal audits
st nd(1 party) and external audits at suppliers (2 party).
