Questions

AS9100D certification — FAQs

Who should get AS9100D certified?
Any organisation that wants independent proof its management system meets the standard — to win and reassure customers, satisfy regulators, reduce risk and improve day-to-day performance. It suits businesses of any size, in any sector.
How long does certification take?
It depends on how ready your management system is. Once your documented system is implemented and running, we complete a two-stage initial audit (readiness review, then the certification audit). We’ll give you a clear timeline after understanding your scope and sites.
How long is the certificate valid?
The certificate is valid for three years. Each year we carry out a surveillance audit to confirm your system stays effective, and in year three a recertification audit renews the cycle.
How much does AS9100D certification cost?
Audit time — and therefore cost — depends on your organisation’s size, the number of sites, and the complexity and risk of your processes. Request a quote and we’ll prepare a clear, no-obligation proposal.
