An aerospace supplier needs to check the assurance specified by its customers and applicable sector arrangements. ISO 9001 should not be presented as a substitute for an aerospace-specific certification or approval that a contract requires.
Questions to follow in an audit
- Which customer and sector requirements apply to the proposed scope?
- How are changes to specifications and suppliers controlled?
- What records support acceptance and release decisions?
Connect the records with practice
Trace a customer requirement through planning, supplier information, inspection records and the evidence supporting release of the work.
These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
