TS EN 9104-002

TS EN 9104-002 is the Turkish adoption of the standard that addresses how certification programmes for the 9100 series are overseen in the aerospace and space sector. Its focus is the oversight framework used when supplier quality systems are assessed and certified through the ICOP approach under EN 9104.

What aerospace certification oversight is meant to do

In aerospace quality management, the reliability of the certification system matters as much as the management system of the organization itself. This document sits at programme level: it is concerned with how the certification arrangements are supervised so that assessments are carried out consistently and within the sector’s expected discipline. In general technical terms, oversight helps maintain confidence that certification bodies, assessment processes, and programme controls are being applied in a coordinated way.

ICOP and the 9100 series in context

ICOP refers to the Aerospace Industry Controlled Other Party model, in which third-party certification is governed within an industry-controlled framework. The 9100 series is the well-known aerospace quality management system family used across the aerospace supply chain. The purpose stated for this standard is to document the oversight process for certification of Aerospace Quality Management Systems, providing a common basis for monitoring programme operation and consistency.

• Applies to IAQG global sectors when ICOP schemes are used for assessment and certification.
• Relates to supplier quality systems assessed in accordance with EN 9104.
• Documents the oversight process for 9100-series AQMS certification programmes.
• Supports a consistent sector framework for certification programme supervision.
