There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that transition the AS9100: 2009 version (rev C) is completed before the July 1, 2012 target date

All IAQG member companies are onboard and fully committed to working with certified organizations and industry stakeholders to successfully transition to the revised Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS) 9100 / 9110 / 9120:2009 standards.
IAQG expects certified organizations that have not completed transition yet to focus on planning for success, and provide a declaration of conformance to their certification body by their next required surveillance or re-certification audit.
Companies that are "transitioning" are encouraged to use available resources such as the Supply Chain Management Handbook (SCMH) and the IAQG Requirements website, which contain detailed gap analysis and change presentation materials.
There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that transition is completed in a timely manner and established targets met.
The whole community built a consensus on an aggressive action plan to deliver the necessary changes, setting a target date for completion of the 9100/9110/9120:2009 certified organization transition common reporting matrix (January 4, 2012);
Congratulations to those certified organizations that have completed transition to the updated standard and received their revised 9100, 9110 or 9120 certificates. This demonstrates commitment to meeting industry expectations and improved quality performance.
The Other Party Management Team (OPMT) will continue to work with all stakeholders (certified companies, Certification bodies and Accreditation bodies by communicating transition status and progress as we approach the July 1, 2012 target date.
Are you ready ?
