An AQAP 2310 audit helps companies systematically assess their quality management system against NATO quality requirements and defence industry expectations. AQAP 2310 is particularly relevant for companies operating in defence-related sectors as well as in aviation and aerospace, where industry-specific requirements must be combined with additional contractual requirements from defence projects.
AQAP 2310 connects quality management requirements with specific expectations for documented evidence, supplier management, contractual implementation and audit-ready processes. An internal audit according to AQAP 2310 helps identify weaknesses early, reduce risks and prepare your management system for external audits, customer audits or contractually required assessments.
TopQM-Systems supports you with internal audits, readiness assessments and audit preparation according to AQAP 2310 — practical, structured and based on extensive experience with standards, quality management systems and defence-related requirements.
As part of internal audits, we systematically assess your management system against the requirements of AQAP 2310. We review both documented rules and their actual implementation in the relevant processes.
The focus includes the integration of contractual requirements, documented evidence, supplier management, interfaces with existing management systems and the practical effectiveness of implemented processes. The audit clearly shows where requirements are already fulfilled and where further action is needed.
A readiness assessment shows how well your management system is prepared for an external audit, customer audit or contractually required assessment. This allows you to identify early whether key requirements are implemented effectively and which evidence, rules or processes still need to be refined.
This creates a reliable basis for further audit preparation and reduces the risk of non-conformities during the external audit.
Targeted audit preparation helps you approach upcoming audits in a structured and confident way. TopQM-Systems supports you by reviewing relevant documents, assessing key process interfaces, preparing contact persons and analysing typical gaps in evidence and implementation.
On request, we also support you in preparing for customer audits, external certification audits or surveillance audits.
An AQAP 2310 audit does not only examine formal documentation. It focuses especially on the practical implementation of standard requirements and contractual requirements within the organisation.
Typical audit focus areas include:
An internal audit or readiness assessment according to AQAP 2310 is particularly useful if you want to systematically review requirements from the defence industry or prepare specifically for external assessments.
You need to implement additional quality requirements from a contract and want to check whether your management system is adequately prepared.
A customer audit, authority audit or certification audit is approaching and you want to identify gaps or risks early.
Your company already has a quality management system, for example according to ISO 9001 or EN 9100, and now needs to fulfil additional AQAP 2310 requirements reliably.
You want to ensure that requirements are not only documented, but also implemented effectively in practice and traceable during audits.
An AQAP 2310 audit assesses how well defence-specific requirements are connected with existing EN 9100 structures. It is essential that processes, evidence, supplier management and project documentation are not only available, but also effective and audit-ready.
TopQM-Systems evaluates your management system with regard to the interaction between AQAP 2310, EN 9100 and customer-specific requirements. This helps you identify improvement potential early and strengthens your position for demanding projects in aviation, aerospace and defence.

An AQAP 2310 audit assesses whether your management system effectively implements the requirements of AQAP 2310. This includes the integration of contractual requirements, supplier management, documented evidence, defined responsibilities and the practical effectiveness of quality-related processes.
No. An internal AQAP 2310 audit or readiness assessment is used for internal evaluation and preparation. External audits are carried out by customers, certification bodies or other external organisations.
Not exclusively. AQAP 2310 is particularly relevant where industry-specific quality management requirements meet additional expectations from the defence sector. Whether and to what extent AQAP 2310 applies depends on the contract, customer requirements and your initial situation.
Yes. An internal audit is particularly useful before customer audits or contract audits. It helps identify weaknesses early and improve audit readiness in a targeted way.
