AS9145 is APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) & PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) for aerospace. Following the automotive core tools, APQP includes Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Plans, Process Flows, PPAP, Measurement System Analysis (MSA or Gauge R&R), and Statistical Process Control (SPC).

This AS9145 standard is used as a guideline, and is not an AS standard for certification.  It establishes requirements for performing and documenting APQP and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) and integrates with the 9100, 9102, 9103 and 9110 standards.

Many aerospace OEM’s, prime contractors and sub-primes are flowing down requirements to their suppliers to meet APQP requirements and show evidence of maturity for their APQP systems. When a customer flows down these APQP requirements, then it’s incorporated into AS9100 audits as customer requirements. Learn more in our blog – AS9145 – APQP and PPAP for Aerospace.

For those companies that are in the supply chain for aircraft engines, the AS13100 standard is being flowed down from customers as supplemental requirements to AS9100 and AS9145.
