Key ISO Standards for Aerospace & Defence

1. AS9100 – Quality Management Systems for Aerospace

AS9100 is the most critical standard for quality management in aerospace manufacturing, design, and maintenance. It is based on ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements specific to aviation, space, and defence industries.

Benefits:

• Enhances product safety and reliability

• Ensures compliance with aerospace OEMs and regulatory bodies

• Increases efficiency in production and risk management

2. ISO 9001 – Quality Management System

ISO 9001 provides a strong foundation for quality management in all sectors, including aerospace. It ensures consistent quality in processes, documentation, and customer satisfaction.

Benefits:

• Boosts supplier confidence

• Standardizes operations and documentation

• Facilitates continuous improvement

3. ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management

Cybersecurity and data protection are essential in defence and aerospace. ISO 27001 ensures that organizations manage sensitive information securely and prevent data breaches or cyberattacks.

Benefits:

• Strengthens IT and data security

• Complies with defence cybersecurity standards

• Protects intellectual property and classified information

4. ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety

Worker safety is paramount in aerospace manufacturing and operations. ISO 45001 ensures proactive management of health and safety risks, improving working conditions and legal compliance.

5. ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

Environmental responsibility is increasingly important. ISO 14001 helps aerospace and defence companies reduce their environmental footprint, manage waste, and comply with regulatory requirements.

6. ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management System (FSMS)

• Military Food Supplies: Ensures safe packaging, storage, and handling of rations and ready-to-eat (RTE) meals supplied to troops.

• Aviation Catering Services: Protects passengers and crew from foodborne illnesses during flights.

• Remote & Field Operations: Maintains hygiene and food quality in temporary or mobile kitchens in defence or disaster zones.

• Space Missions & Aerospace Research: Guarantees the highest food safety standards for astronauts and research teams.
