TS EN 9104-002

TS EN 9104-002 is a part of the EN 9104 series that addresses the oversight of aerospace quality management system registration and certification programs. It focuses on how IAQG and associated sectors manage oversight for the requirements contained in EN 9104-series standards, so it is concerned with the governance of the certification framework rather than with certifying a single organization’s quality management system on its own.

What oversight means in this context

In aerospace, certification programs must do more than confirm conformity at the organization level; they also need to remain consistent, credible, and impartial as programs. Oversight is the mechanism used to monitor how those programs operate against established rules, assess their performance, and support corrective or improvement actions where needed. The subject of EN 9104-002 is this program-level oversight function within IAQG and related sector structures.

Position within the EN 9104 series

The EN 9104 series defines the certification and registration infrastructure used for aerospace quality management systems. Different parts of the series address different dimensions of that infrastructure, including the overarching program requirements, the oversight requirements, and related implementation details. TS EN 9104-002 specifically anchors the oversight role, helping maintain a common approach across the aerospace sector.

• Applies to IAQG and associated sectors for oversight management.
• Focused on managing the requirements established in the EN 9104 series.
• Supports consistency of aerospace quality management system registration/certification programs.
• Relates to oversight responsibilities of IAQG working groups.
