Where the kit touches AS9100D

Clause numbers only; read the requirements in your own copy of the standard. The kit is a way of meeting them in practice, not a substitute for them. Your customers' quality requirements usually add notification times, formats and records of their own.

A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard, and your customers' requirements may add to it.

Clause numbers refer to AS9100D (SAE AS9100 Rev D) unless another document is named. The standards' text is not reproduced here: use your own licensed copy.

Aegis Insights are our own guidance, labeled wherever they appear: how we approach this work, not a requirement of any standard or customer.
