The AS-9100 is a quality management system (QMS) standard defined specifically by and for the aerospace industry. Published in the late 1999, it was developed by the ISO Aerospace Technical Committee 20 in conjunction with the American Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG), the European Association of Aerospace Industries (AECMA) and other similar international bodies from Brazil, China, Japan, and Mexico.

The AS-9100 was developed from its predecessor, the AS-9000 (1997), which adopted the 20 elements of ISO-9001-1994 and aligned them with the needs of the air transport industry. The AS-9100 incorporates additional provisions to cover civil and military aviation and aerospace industry standard requirements more comprehensively. It also covers the needs of suppliers, regulatory bodies, and customers of the aerospace industry.

The standard was developed with the following objectives:
1) reduce defects in the supplier chain;
2) reduce costs;
3) continuously improve quality;
4) enhance customer satisfaction;
5) reduce the man-hours spent by an organization on quality management activities, primarily by replacing the various customer requirements and specifications with a single industry standard that's acceptable to everyone.
