What Is It?
The aerospace industry understands that the needs of the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) segment are different from those of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segment. Products are designed to perform for 50 years or more, so proper maintenance is crucial for safe operation.
The AS 9110 standard addresses MRO requirements. Effective implementation will provide a robust system to ensure safety, reliability and airworthiness.AS 9110 is based on ISO 9001:2000 but has nearly 100 additional requirements specific to the aerospace MRO industry.
