This squeezes the timeframe for aerospace companies to prepare for these significant changes and TEC has developed a suite of courses to address this. These include a practical one day ‘Heads-up for AS 9100:2016’ course which explains how to implement the new and revised requirements; including the major changes imposed by the new ISO 9001:2015 standard which is embedded into the AS 9100:2016 series of standards.
In addition, TEC’s IRCA-certified two day ‘ISO 9001:2015 Auditor Transition Training course based on AS 9100:2016’ provides existing IRCA-certified lead auditors (and principal auditors) with the knowledge and skills to develop new process-based auditing skills and add more value to organisations.
By doing so, IRCA certificated auditors can make sure they are up-to-date and can audit against the new standards earlier. This course also addresses the requirements for auditing the AS 9100:2016 series of aerospace and defence standards as well as ISO 9001:2015.
The IAQG publication dates for the new series of standards in the three sectors (American, European and Asian) are: AS/EN9100:2016 – October 2016; AS/EN9110:2016 – November 2016; AS/EN9120:2016 – December 2016. The standard specifying requirements for the third party certification audit process (AS/EN9101:2016) will also be published in November 2016.
While these publication dates have changed, the certification-related dates remain the same:
