At Advanex Europe, precision and reliability are central to our engineering philosophy. That’s why we are certified to AS9100 Rev D / EN9100, the international quality standard developed specifically for the aerospace, space, and defence industries.

This certification demonstrates our ability to meet the most demanding requirements for quality, safety, and traceability—making us a trusted supplier to leading aerospace manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers across Europe and beyond.

What is AS/EN 9100?

AS9100 (also referred to as EN9100 in Europe) is a quality management standard based on ISO 9001 but with additional requirements tailored for aerospace, aviation, and defence.

It covers:

Product safety and reliability
Risk management and contingency planning
Configuration control and traceability
Prevention of counterfeit parts
Control of special processes
Regulatory and customer-specific compliance

Certification to AS9100 ensures that suppliers consistently deliver products and services that meet aerospace-grade quality and safety expectations.
