AS9120
Aviation, Space and Defence Quality - Distribution
AS9120
AS9120 is the internationally recognised quality management standard for organisations involved in the storage, distribution, and supply of aerospace parts.
For many businesses, certification is a requirement set by Primes and Tier 1 suppliers to ensure the integrity, traceability, and control of parts throughout the supply chain.
Who it applies to
AS9120 is typically required for storage, distribution, and stockholding businesses supplying aerospace parts, materials, and components, as well as organisations responsible for maintaining traceability, handling, preservation, and supply chain control within the aerospace and defence sector.
What it focuses on
Traceability and certification control; stock integrity and shelf life management; prevention of counterfeit or suspect unapproved parts; supplier approval and performance monitoring; goods inwards inspection, storage, and release.
Why businesses come to us
Most businesses come to us after being told they need AS9120 certification to supply into the aerospace sector. The challenge is ensuring your stock control, documentation, and processes meet the standard - without disrupting how your operation actually runs.
Our approach
We build systems around your existing storage and distribution processes - not templates. That means strengthening controls where needed, integrating with your ERP and stock systems, and ensuring everything aligns to AS9120 and performs under audit. Our consultants bring real aerospace experience, guiding you through implementation, internal audits, and certification with a clear, structured approach.
