## Key Takeaways

- AS9100D certification verifies a supplier’s quality management system. It does not certify specific parts, drawings, or processes, so scope and site coverage require separate checks.
- Buyers use the IAQG OASIS database to confirm active registration status, AS9100:2016 (Rev D) revision, scope statements and certified sites before issuing RFQs.
- Special processes such as heat treatment, NDT and coatings require separate NADCAP accreditation at the actual processing facility. AS9100D does not replace NADCAP.
- AS9100D applies to manufacturers and fabricators, while AS9120 applies to stockist distributors. Accepting the wrong standard removes evidence of required production controls.
- Precision Advanced Manufacturing holds AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registrations, is ITAR registered and supports multi-axis CNC machining, fabrication, welding and finishing from prototype through production.

## What AS9100D Actually Certifies And Where Buyers Need Extra Checks

[AS9100D is the aerospace quality management system standard](https://iso9001expert.com/blog/iso-9001-as9100-rev-d-aerospace-adds-quality-management) published by SAE International and maintained by the International Aerospace Quality Group. The D revision, [released in September 2016](https://resources.utec.co/mh-aerospace-gse/as9100d-to-ia9100-aerospace-tooling-suppliers), is the [current certifiable edition as of October 2026](https://governancedocs.com/as9100-mandatory-documents).

[AS9100D contains the full text of ISO 9001:2015 clause for clause and layers approximately 115 aerospace-specific requirements on top of it](https://iso9001expert.com/blog/iso-9001-as9100-rev-d-aerospace-adds-quality-management). It covers operational risk management, configuration management, product safety, counterfeit parts prevention and first article inspection. [An organization certified to AS9100D is by definition compliant with ISO 9001:2015](https://iso9001expert.com/blog/iso-9001-as9100-rev-d-aerospace-adds-quality-management), so most aerospace suppliers pursue a single combined audit.

[Certification confirms that a supplier’s quality management system has been audited by an IAQG-accredited certification body](https://q-hub.app/resources/glossary/as9100). [It does not certify any particular part, drawing, material or contract deliverable.](https://q-hub.app/resources/glossary/as9100) Scope, site coverage and special-process controls require separate verification.

## How Buyers Use OASIS To Confirm AS9100 Certification

[The authoritative source for AS9100 registration verification is the IAQG](https://thestandardsnavigator.com/category/quality-management-guides/as9100-quality-management-guides) [OASIS (Online Aerospace Supplier Information System) database](https://iaqg.org/tools/oasis). [A free account permits supplier searches and returns the certificate, applicable standard, scope statement, certified sites, certification status and expiration date](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database) for registered organizations.

The fields that matter most in an OASIS lookup are registration status, the revision letter, the certification scope statement, the certified site list and the certification body. The revision should read 9100:2016 for Rev D, and the status should be active.

![A CMM touch probe measuring a machined aluminum bracket.](https://cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co/1785164194032-a09872ce26c4.webp)**CMM inspection and controlled quality workflows verify critical dimensions, supporting first-article and in-process inspection with traceable measurement data.**

[OASIS has documented limitations buyers should account for.](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database) [Public records may lag certification-body updates, so a certificate can show “expired” during recertification even when the supplier remains in good standing.](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database) Scope statements may not reflect recently added processes or product lines. [Detailed audit results, including nonconformities and corrective action status, are visible only to users the certified organization has granted access to.](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database) A supplier-provided certificate PDF on its own does not provide enough evidence, so status should be confirmed in OASIS directly.

## How To Verify An AS9100 Supplier: A Three-Step Playbook

This sequence turns a long list of supplier names into a verified shortlist.

1. **Confirm the registration in OASIS.** Search the supplier by name or site in the [OASIS database](https://iaqg.org/tools/oasis). The record should show active status, AS9100:2016 (Rev D), an IAQG-accredited certification body and a current expiration date. Recording the check date in the supplier file preserves the evidence trail for the next review. For critical suppliers, request access to the latest audit results to review open nonconformities and process effectiveness data.
2. **Match the certificate scope to the processes being sourced.** A registration that does not list machining, fabrication or finishing in its scope statement may not cover the work being quoted. [A certificate can cover a different site, a narrower work scope or the wrong 9100-series standard.](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database) Request the current certificate, the scope statement, the certified site list and written confirmation that the quoting site is covered.
3. **Confirm special-process coverage and flow-down.** Identify which special processes appear in the production routing, such as heat treatment, non-destructive testing, chemical processing, coatings and welding. Confirm that those processes are performed at NADCAP-accredited facilities and that the supplier’s purchase orders carry the required flow-down clauses to sub-tier processors. [NADCAP accreditation is process specific and facility specific](https://aviationsouk.com/knowledge/aerospace-accreditation-nadcap-as9100-iso-9001), so accreditation at one site does not extend to a sister site that has not been separately audited.

[Governance Docs recommends writing OASIS checks into the supplier control procedure](https://governancedocs.com/oasis-database). The procedure should specify who checks, when checks occur, what evidence is retained and what happens if a certificate is suspended or withdrawn.

## Scope Discipline For External Providers

[AS9100D clause 8.4 defines “external providers” broadly](https://governancedocs.com/as9100-supplier-management) to include raw material mills, subcontract machinists, heat treaters, platers and NDT laboratories. A shop approved for machining does not gain approval for anodizing, and a registration that omits the relevant process family in its scope statement does not cover that work.

Before issuing an RFQ, buyers should request four documents from each candidate supplier:

- The current AS9100D certificate
- The scope statement as it appears in OASIS
- The certified site list
- Written confirmation that the quoting site and the processes being sourced are covered by the registration

[A supplier search should be read as a record](https://bestcablemfg.com/verify-supplier-certifications): legal identity, certified site, applicable standard, scope statement, current status, certification body and expiration date should align with the work being procured.

## NADCAP Requirements For Special Processes

[NADCAP accreditation is especially critical for special processes whose output cannot be fully verified through subsequent inspection or measurement.](https://umbrex.com/resources/frameworks/aerospace-defense-frameworks/nadcap-critical-process-accreditation) A satisfactory finished-part inspection still requires validated, controlled processing in heat treatment, non-destructive testing, chemical processing and coatings.

[AS9100 certification does not substitute for NADCAP accreditation.](https://aviationsouk.com/knowledge/aerospace-accreditation-nadcap-as9100-iso-9001) AS9100 addresses the quality management system, and NADCAP provides process-specific technical assurance. [A supplier that holds AS9100D but performs heat treatment or NDT at a facility without NADCAP accreditation for those processes does not satisfy a contract clause requiring NADCAP.](https://carbon.ms/learn/nadcap-explained)

Flow-down through subtiers works as follows. A prime or Tier 1 contractor flows NADCAP requirements down via purchase-order quality clauses, so a Tier 3 heat-treat shop can be audited to NADCAP criteria because its work ends up on a structure two tiers above. [AS9100D clause 8.4.3 requires flow-down to external providers of requirements for design, test, inspection and verification, including the obligation for providers to flow down applicable requirements to their own sub-tier suppliers.](https://governancedocs.com/as9100-supplier-management)

[First article inspection under](https://iso9001expert.com/blog/iso-9001-as9100-rev-d-aerospace-adds-quality-management) [AS9102](https://resources.utec.co/mh-aerospace-gse/as9100d-to-ia9100-aerospace-tooling-suppliers) is a companion requirement to AS9100D production process verification. [It requires documented verification of design characteristics on the initial production unit, with reinspection triggered by changes to tooling, manufacturing location, materials or processes.](https://q-hub.app/resources/glossary/as9100)

[Requiring NADCAP for processes that PRI does not audit, such as machining, assembly, kitting and packaging, is a tender error](https://aviationsouk.com/knowledge/aerospace-accreditation-nadcap-as9100-iso-9001) that narrows the bidder pool. NADCAP applies to defined special-process commodities, and general machining suppliers are evaluated against AS9100D.

## AS9100, AS9120 And ISO 9001 In Sourcing Decisions

[AS9100 is the standard for organizations that design, manufacture or service aviation, space and defense products.](https://datamyte.com/blog/as9100-vs-as9120-the-aerospace-quality-compliance-guide) [AS9120 is the standard for aerospace stockist distributors that procure parts and resell them without altering the product.](https://datamyte.com/blog/as9100-vs-as9120-the-aerospace-quality-compliance-guide) [ISO 9001:2015 is the broader, industry-agnostic baseline on which both are built.](https://aviationsouk.com/knowledge/aerospace-accreditation-nadcap-as9100-iso-9001)

The sourcing risk arises when buyers accept the wrong standard for the supplier’s role. [Treating ISO 9001, AS9100 and NADCAP as substitutes is a procurement error](https://aviationsouk.com/knowledge/aerospace-accreditation-nadcap-as9100-iso-9001). “We have ISO 9001” does not meet a clause requiring AS9100D, and “We have AS9100D” does not satisfy a clause requiring NADCAP welding accreditation.

[A distributor that performs machining, modification, repair or other work affecting product characteristics falls outside an AS9120-only scope.](https://datamyte.com/blog/as9100-vs-as9120-the-aerospace-quality-compliance-guide) Accepting AS9120 certification from a supplier that performs manufacturing leaves the buyer without evidence of production-process control, design control, validation and configuration control. Accepting ISO 9001 alone from a machining supplier leaves the buyer without the aerospace-specific requirements that AS9100D mandates: counterfeit parts prevention, configuration management, product safety and first article inspection.

The standard to verify in OASIS for a machined or fabricated aerospace part is AS9100D. The standard to verify for a stockist distributor is AS9120. ISO 9001 alone does not function as an aerospace quality management system.

## Tier Structure And AS9100 Suppliers

Scope and standard matter most at the point of sourcing, and the supplier’s position in the chain matters as well. The aerospace supply chain is organized into tiers based on proximity to the OEM and the complexity of the work performed. Tier 1 suppliers deliver major assemblies or systems directly to the OEM. Tier 2 suppliers provide subassemblies, machined structures or fabricated components to Tier 1 integrators. [Tier 3 and Tier 4 suppliers provide raw materials, standard parts, forgings, castings and discrete processing services like heat treatment, surface finishing and chemical processing to Tier 2 and Tier 1 manufacturers.](https://umbrex.com/resources/industry-primers/aerospace-defense-industry-primers/aerostructures-tier-1-2-suppliers-industry-primer/)

AS9100-certified machining and fabrication suppliers typically operate at Tier 2 and Tier 3, producing tight-tolerance components that feed into larger assemblies. [Most Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace contracts require AS9100 certification as a condition of doing business](https://datamyte.com/blog/as9100-vs-as9120-the-aerospace-quality-compliance-guide), and OASIS listing is a common prerequisite to bid. Flow-down pressure from AS9100D clause 8.4 means that Tier 3 suppliers are subject to aerospace quality requirements through their customers’ purchase orders.

## Qualified Supplier Profile: Precision Advanced Manufacturing

Applied to a specific supplier, the three-step framework produces a checkable record rather than a name on a list. Precision Advanced Manufacturing credentials align with the verification steps described above.

![A precision machine shop floor with CNC equipment and work cells.](https://cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co/1785163904437-77d81f3f11f5.webp)**Advanced manufacturing combines a climate-controlled shop environment with multi-axis CNC machining, turning, and fabrication capabilities to support projects from prototypes through production.**

- Certifications: AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR registered
- Locations: U.S. facilities in Anaheim, California and Texas
- Machining: multi-axis CNC, including Swiss-type machining and work with titanium and Inconel
- Fabrication: precision sheet metal with CNC machining, waterjet and laser cutting, stamping, forming, bending and welding
- Welding: specialty and laser welding with thermal distortion control, including TIG, MIG and stick welding
- Finishing and secondary operations: anodizing, passivation, plating, laser marking, deburring, brush finishing and hardware installation
- Production support: kitting, assembly support and multi-shift capacity from prototype through full-rate production

Directory-style listings present supplier names without qualification criteria, so they do not confirm OASIS registration status, scope coverage or special-process flow-down. Precision Advanced Manufacturing credentials are checkable directly against the verification framework. The AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registrations can be confirmed in OASIS, and the scope covers machining and fabrication. [ITAR registration is verified through the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.](https://legalclarity.org/how-to-check-if-a-company-is-itar-registered/) DDTC does not publish a searchable public registry, so buyers can request the company DDTC registration code and expiration date, review its registration acknowledgement letter or contact DDTC directly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Who Needs AS9100 Certification?

AS9100D applies to organizations that design, manufacture or provide services for aviation, space and defense products. This group includes machine shops, fabricators, welding shops and finishing providers whose work ends up in flight-critical or mission-critical assemblies. Most Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace contracts require AS9100D as a condition of doing business, and flow-down pressure from prime contractors extends the requirement to Tier 3 suppliers through purchase-order quality clauses.

### How Do Buyers Look Up AS9100 Certification?

The IAQG OASIS database is the authoritative source. A free account returns the certificate, standard, scope, certified sites, status and expiration date, as described in the lookup section above. Buyers should confirm registration status, the 9100:2016 Rev D notation, the scope statement and the certified site list before relying on a certificate.

### What Is The Difference Between AS9100 And AS9100D?

AS9100D is the current revision of the AS9100 standard, [released in September 2016](https://resources.utec.co/mh-aerospace-gse/as9100d-to-ia9100-aerospace-tooling-suppliers) and [aligned with ISO 9001:2015](https://iso9001expert.com/blog/iso-9001-as9100-rev-d-aerospace-adds-quality-management). [Earlier revisions A, B and C are superseded.](https://resources.utec.co/mh-aerospace-gse/as9100d-to-ia9100-aerospace-tooling-suppliers) Buyers verifying a supplier registration today should confirm the certificate reads AS9100:2016 (Rev D), as noted in the revision discussion above.

### What Is The Difference Between AS9100 And AS9120?

AS9100 applies to manufacturers and organizations that add value to aerospace products through design, production or service. AS9120 applies to stockist distributors that procure and resell parts without altering them. Both are built on ISO 9001:2015 and registered in OASIS, but they certify different activities. Accepting AS9120 from a supplier that performs machining or fabrication leaves the buyer without evidence of production-process control, first article inspection and configuration management.

### Do AS9100 Suppliers Need NADCAP For Special Processes?

AS9100D and NADCAP cover different layers of assurance. AS9100D governs the quality management system, and NADCAP governs process-specific technical assurance for special processes such as heat treatment, NDT, chemical processing and coatings. When a contract clause requires NADCAP for a specific process, AS9100D certification alone does not meet that clause. Buyers should verify that the actual facility and process used for the job appear within the applicable NADCAP scope, as outlined in the NADCAP section above.

### What Are Tier 1, Tier 2 And Tier 3 Aerospace Suppliers?

Tier 1 suppliers deliver major assemblies or systems directly to the OEM. Tier 2 suppliers provide subassemblies and machined or fabricated components to Tier 1 integrators. [Tier 3 and Tier 4 suppliers provide raw materials, standard parts, forgings, castings and discrete processing services like heat treatment, surface finishing and chemical processing to Tier 2 and Tier 1 manufacturers.](https://umbrex.com/resources/industry-primers/aerospace-defense-industry-primers/aerostructures-tier-1-2-suppliers-industry-primer/) AS9100-certified machining and fabrication suppliers typically operate at Tier 2 and Tier 3, and flow-down from AS9100D clause 8.4 extends aerospace quality requirements through purchase orders to each tier.

### What Should A Buyer Check Before Issuing An RFQ To An AS9100 Supplier?

Before issuing an RFQ, buyers should confirm that the supplier OASIS registration is active and the revision is AS9100D. The scope statement should cover the processes being sourced, and the quoting site should appear on the certified site list. Special-process coverage should be confirmed by identifying processes in the routing and verifying NADCAP accreditation at the actual processing facility. The current certificate, scope statement, certified site list and written confirmation of site coverage provide a complete file. Precision Advanced Manufacturing holds AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR registrations, with machining and fabrication capabilities that align with this verification framework.

## Conclusion: Move From A Longlist To A Verified Shortlist

The verification workflow of OASIS lookup, scope matching and special-process flow-down confirmation converts a long list of supplier names into candidates whose credentials align with documented requirements.

Precision Advanced Manufacturing AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registrations and ITAR status can be confirmed in OASIS and through DDTC. The documented scope covers machining and fabrication work suitable for aerospace programs that follow this verification approach.

The practical next steps before the RFQ goes out are clear. Pull the OASIS record and confirm active status and Rev D registration. Request the scope statement and certified site list. Confirm special-process flow-down for any heat treatment, NDT, chemical processing or coating in the routing. Issue the RFQ to a shortlist that has passed those checks.
