5、ation to be utilized by all the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) sectors. FOREWORD In December 1998, the Aerospace Industry established the IAQG with the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value stream. IAQG developed a truly gl
6、obal scheme 9104 for the use of assessment results performed by Certification Bodies (CBs), based on the 9100-series standards and taking into account the schemes already in use or under development in the various IAQG sectors. This document supplements the existing international requirements for th
7、e accreditation of personnel CBs, accreditation of CBs and auditor certification programs. Confidence and reliance in the audit process depends on the competence of those conducting the audit, making certification/registration decisions and supporting an audit program. Competence is based on the dem
8、onstration of personal attributes, and the ability to apply Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS) knowledge and skills gained through education, work experience, auditor training and audit experience (reference ISO 19011, section 7.1). Knowledge and skills are only two elements of competency. T
9、herefore, organizations operating AQMS audit programs should establish and implement effective competency systems that are based on ISO 19011 section 7, ISO/IEC Guide 62, and IAF Guidance on the Application of ISO/IEC Guide 62. The IAF Guidance on the Application of ISO/IEC Guide 62 requires personn
10、el operating in a specific technical field to have competence for the functions they perform, be they management, technical, administrative, or other. This means that an organization operating an aerospace auditing program should have adequate personnel with required knowledge of aerospace processes
11、, product, and system requirements to ensure their audit program is able to operate effectively and in accordance with Aerospace Industry requirements. Contained herein are requirements for Aerospace Auditor Competency and Training Courses to satisfy the competency criteria in 9104 to support certif
12、ication/registration and recognition of AQMS. SAE AS9104/3 - 2 - TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. SCOPE 3 2. REFERENCES 3 3.
