HSB RS has a team of experienced auditors that can provide your company with AS9000 certification services. We have extensive experience in the manufacturing industry and can help you realize the benefits of AS9000/9100 compliance by utilizing this expertise in assisting you with the audit process.

In May 1997, businesses in the aerospace industry joined together to release the AS9000 quality standard. AS9000/9100 contains the same clauses listed in the ISO 9000 standard. In addition, recognizing the additional safety and quality requirements of the aerospace industry, 27 clarifications and 8 notes were added to the existing directives. HSB RS is an accredited AS9000/9100 registrar by ANSI-RAB.

Today, realizing the importance of quality, some major aerospace manufactures demand that their suppliers are AS9000/9100 compliant. That is where HSB RS can help. We can bring value to the AS9000/9100 compliance process by monitoring your quality practices and identifying opportunities for improvement. In addition, we can service your ISO 9000 registration needs -- the backbone of the AS9000 standard.

At HSB RS, our auditors understand their roles as third party assessors and the importance of guiding you through the compliance process with minimal interruption to your daily activities. As a valued HSB RS client, you will have a permanently assigned lead auditor. This will establish a single point of contact that will allow us to build not just a service arrangement but a partnership with you.
