AS 9120 B Certification

Procurement and reselling of products to aviation, space, and defence industries

About AS 9120 B

AS 9120 B is a quality management system standard specifically developed for aerospace stockists and distributors. It is based on ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements related to traceability, airworthiness, and regulatory compliance across the aerospace supply chain.

This standard is essential for organizations that procure parts, materials, and assemblies — and sell these products to customers in the aviation, space, and defense sectors, including OEMs and MROs. AS 9120 B ensures control over documentation, storage, product conformity, and counterfeit prevention.

Key Components of AS 9120 B

  • Product Traceability: End-to-end tracking of parts and materials to ensure full traceability back to the original manufacturer or authorized source.
  • Batch Control and Certification: Verification of batch numbers, certificates of conformance, airworthiness documentation, and shelf-life requirements.
  • Counterfeit Prevention: Controls for ensuring authenticity, including vendor approval, tamper-proof packaging, and supplier audits.
  • Storage and Handling: Requirements for appropriate storage, environmental protection, and preservation of products.
  • Inspection and Verification: Procedures for incoming, in-process, and outgoing inspection to ensure conformity.
  • Nonconformity and Corrective Action: Structured approach for handling and documenting nonconforming products and implementing corrective actions.
  • Supplier Monitoring: Evaluation, selection, and performance monitoring of upstream suppliers.

Why AS 9120 B Matters

  • Ensures aerospace-grade traceability and documentation control.
  • Required by many aviation OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers.
