FactoryQA quality teamOctober 25, 2026 AS9100D adds aerospace requirements to every clause of ISO 9001:2015. Most of them come down to records: proof that you planned, controlled, checked and improved. This checklist covers the clauses that generate the most records and what your QMS software should do for each. Always read the standard itself for the full requirement. Compliance in FactoryQA: readiness scored against your standard with evidence from every module. | Clause | What it asks for | What software should do | | --- | --- | --- | | 7.1.5 Monitoring and measuring resources | Calibrated, traceable measuring equipment, recall when out of calibration, and assessment of product measured with a gage later found out of tolerance | Gage register with due dates and certificates, custody, and a list of where each gage was used | | 7.2 Competence | People competent for their work, with records of training and evaluation | Training matrix, courses with quizzes, due dates and records of who is qualified | | 7.5 Documented information | Controlled documents and records: approval, revision, distribution, retention, protection | Document control with revision approval, e-signatures, acknowledgements and periodic review | | 8.1 Operational planning, including 8.1.1 operational risk, 8.1.2 configuration management and 8.1.3 product safety | Plan production, manage operational risk and control configuration | Process flow, PFMEA and control plans linked to the drawing revision | | 8.1.4 Prevention of counterfeit parts | Processes to prevent counterfeit or suspect parts entering product | Approved supplier list with scope and certifications, and receiving inspection records | | 8.4 Control of externally provided processes, products and services | Evaluate, select and monitor suppliers, and flow down requirements | Supplier evaluations, scorecards, certifications with expiry dates, and SCARs | | 8.5.1.3 Production process verification | First article inspection for new parts and changes | AS9102 first article reports built from the ballooned drawing | | 8.6 Release of products and services | Evidence that acceptance criteria were met before release | Inspection sheets graded as results are entered, linked to the job | | 8.7 Control of nonconforming outputs | Identify, contain and disposition nonconforming product, with records | NCRs with containment, disposition and approvals | | 9.1 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation | Measure performance, including on-time delivery and customer satisfaction | Dashboards counted from the records themselves | | 9.2 Internal audit | A planned audit program covering the whole QMS | Audit schedule, checklists by clause, findings turned into corrective actions | | 9.3 Management review | Top management reviews QMS performance | One place to pull audit results, NCR trends, supplier performance and objectives | | 10.2 Nonconformity and corrective action | Root cause, corrective action, and verification that it worked | CAPA with 8D, fishbone or 5 Whys, through to verified closure | ## Beyond the clause list - **Readiness at a glance.** Before the registrar audit you want to know which clauses have weak evidence. Look for readiness scoring against AS9100D. - **Writing the system.** If you are starting out, software that drafts the quality manual and procedures from how your shop actually works saves weeks. - **Links between records.** A changed drawing revision should show up in the PFMEA, control plan and inspection sheet. Unlinked spreadsheets are where audit findings come from. FactoryQA's [Compliance](https://factoryqa.com/products/compliance) module scores readiness against AS9100D with evidence from every module, and [QMS Generator](https://factoryqa.com/products/qms-generator) writes your manual and procedures to AS9100. Our [Certification Workshops](https://factoryqa.com/certification-cohorts) take a team from start to registrar audit in 9 weeks.
