AS9120 is a quality management system or standard based on AS9100 which adds a number of significant requirements which are specific to distributors who carry aircraft components including gaskets, fasteners, electronics, etc. It helps ensure that these distributors handle materials properly and track the part from OEM to customer. AS9120 was developed for pass-through distributors of aerospace items and addresses chain of custody, traceability, control and availability of records.
Companies which procure parts, materials and assemblies and sell these products to a customer in the aviation, space and defense industries. This includes organizations which procure products and split them into smaller quantities.
This standard is not intended for organizations that rework or repair products. Organizations that perform work that affect or could affect product characteristics or conformity should use AS9100 or another general quality management system standard.
The standard would be applicable for organizations that resell, distribute, and warehouse parts found in aircraft and other aerospace components. Value-added distributors would NOT be included for the standard due to customer-product changes.
SAE manages this standard which is regulated by the IAQG (International Aerospace Quality Group).
