An EN 9100 audit helps companies systematically assess their quality management system against the requirements of the aviation, aerospace and defence industry. It also provides a reliable basis for preparing external audits, certification audits and surveillance audits.
EN 9100 is based on ISO 9001 and adds industry-specific requirements, including product safety, risk management, configuration management, traceability and key characteristics. For companies in aviation, aerospace and defence, an internal audit according to EN 9100 is an important tool for identifying weaknesses early, implementing requirements effectively and improving the audit readiness of the management system.
TopQM-Systems supports you with internal audits, readiness assessments and audit preparation according to EN 9100 — practical, structured and based on extensive experience with standards, quality management systems and AS&D requirements.
As part of internal audits, we systematically assess your management system against the requirements of EN 9100. We review both documented rules and their actual implementation in the relevant processes.
The focus includes product safety, key characteristics, configuration management, risk management, traceability and the practical effectiveness of your 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, surveillance audit or certification audit. This helps you identify early which requirements have already been implemented effectively and where evidence, rules or process adjustments are still required.
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 external certification audits or surveillance audits.
An EN 9100 audit goes beyond the requirements of ISO 9001 and focuses in particular on the industry-specific expectations placed on companies in aviation, aerospace and defence.
Typical audit focus areas include:
An internal audit or readiness assessment according to EN 9100 is particularly useful if you want to review your management system in a structured way or prepare specifically for external assessments.
You want to identify early whether your management system is audit-ready and where action is still needed before the external audit.
Your company is establishing a quality management system for aviation, aerospace and defence or further developing an existing system.
You want to ensure that topics such as product safety, key characteristics, configuration management and traceability are not only documented but also effectively implemented.
An internal audit provides transparency regarding the actual maturity of your system and helps you meet the expectations of customers, OEMs and market partners in a targeted way.
An EN 9100 audit shows how robust your quality management system is with regard to aviation, aerospace and defence requirements. This is not only about standards compliance. It is also about effectiveness, evidence capability and process reliability.
TopQM-Systems supports you with a practical audit perspective on key requirements such as product safety, risk management, configuration management and key characteristics. This allows you to identify weaknesses early and prepare your company specifically for certification audits, surveillance audits or customer audits.
