Status of the current Japan's aerospace industry: Part 4 Quality Assurance Program

 <JIS Q 9100＞

　In order to enter the manufacturing business of aircraft components,  major aircraft and engine manufacturers require AS9100/EN9100 certification in many cases. The one of the main reasons for this is that the laws and regulations by the aviation authorities are becoming stricter every year, requiring traceability of parts and management for companies.
