If you’ve ever tried to explain why an aircraft part supplier needs more than a standard quality certificate, you already know this topic can get dry fast. This template is built to change that. It takes the Aerospace Standard BSI EN 9100 and turns it into a clear, visual story that your audience can follow, even if they’ve never opened the standard itself.
It starts with the basics. BSI EN 9100:2018 is the European adoption of the aerospace quality standard from the IAQG, built on ISO 9001:2015 with extra requirements for aviation, space, and defence organizations. You’ll see who the standard applies to, how its clauses are organized around the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, and where most of the aerospace-specific content actually sits.
Then comes the part people really want to know: what it adds on top of ISO 9001. The template covers product safety, counterfeit parts prevention, configuration management, operational risk management, key characteristics, and foreign object damage prevention, each one explained in plain language. A product life cycle view shows how these requirements show up from planning and design through production, first article inspection, and post-delivery support.
You’ll also find the wider 9100 family (EN 9110 for maintenance organizations and EN 9120 for stockists and distributors), plus the supporting IAQG rules for assessment and certification. A certification roadmap walks through the journey from gap analysis to certificate, including the three-year cycle and how the OASIS database lets customers check a supplier’s status.
Whether you’re training a quality team, preparing for an audit, pitching to an aerospace customer, or teaching a class on quality management, this template gives you a ready-made structure to work from. Swap in your own company details, tweak the colors, and you’re ready to present.
