Audit Software for DIN EN 9100

DIN EN 9100 — known internationally as AS9100 or EN 9100 — carries ISO 9001 over into the aviation, space and defence industry — with considerably higher expectations regarding evidence, traceability and the fulfilment of customer-specific and regulatory requirements. IMS-Audit Cloud documents your internal audits without gaps and brings them together with actions, complaints and risks in a single system.

What the standard requires

Internal audits under DIN EN 9100 (AS9100)

DIN EN 9100 builds on clause 9.2 of ISO 9001:2015 — internal audits at planned intervals with an audit programme, clear criteria and objective auditors. In the industry context, the following is added:

  • Internal audits at planned intervals, planned via a maintained audit programme
  • Take into account the importance of the processes, changes and the results of previous audits when planning
  • Include customer-specific and regulatory/aviation authority requirements as audit criteria
  • Define the audit criteria and scope for each audit; select auditors objectively and impartially
  • Feed process performance (key figures, customer satisfaction) into the evaluation
  • Report the results to the relevant management
  • Corrections and corrective actions without undue delay, with documented evidence

Frequently asked questions

DIN EN 9100 and internal audits

What distinguishes internal audits to DIN EN 9100 from ISO 9001?

The basic requirements are identical (clause 9.2). In practice, the customer-specific and regulatory requirements of the aviation industry are added as audit criteria, and the expectations regarding evidence and traceability are considerably higher — complete documentation is mandatory.

Does IMS-Audit support providing evidence?

Yes. All audit data, findings and actions are held centrally with a field-level change history — who changed what, and when, is traceable at any time. You generate reports reproducibly as PDFs from the recorded data.

Is there a ready-made question catalogue for DIN EN 9100?

Yes. The DIN EN 9100 standard catalogue is one of the ready-made standard catalogues available from us separately — just get in touch. You create your own catalogues at any time or import them via Excel.

Is AS9100 the same as DIN EN 9100?

In terms of content, yes. AS9100 (Americas), EN 9100 (Europe) and JISQ 9100 (Asia) are the regional editions of the same internationally harmonised aerospace standard; DIN EN 9100 is the German edition of EN 9100. IMS-Audit Cloud supports your internal audits regardless of the designation under which your company is certified.

Can I combine DIN EN 9100 with other standards?

Yes — as software for the integrated management system, IMS-Audit Cloud brings your DIN EN 9100, ISO 9001, environmental and occupational health and safety audits together in one system, with one audit programme and one action cockpit.
