MRG received it's AS 9100 Certification Effective February 1, 2016
AS9100 is the internationally recognized standard for quality management in the aerospace industry.
THE AS9100 SERIES AND ISO 9001
Like the majority of industry quality management system standards, AS9100 was written and designed to work alongside the most recent version of ISO 9001, just as its previous iterations. When considered together, the two standards define the quality management standards of the aerospace industry as a whole, from the most loosely affiliated companies to international aerospace and defense corporations. They work to standardize the development, production, installation and provision of aerospace products and services. The complementary nature of these standards, therefore, means that any organization seeking AS9100:2016 certification must first comply with ISO 9001:2015.
Some of the most important alterations between the 2008 and 2015 iterations of ISO 9001 that directly relate to AS9100 include:

ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of quality management systems, including the eight management principles on which the family of standards is based. ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard have to fulfill.
