Do you know which parts of the ISO 9001 revision actually apply to your AS9100 certification?

Most suppliers don't, yet.

Since AS9100 is built on the ISO 9001 framework, every change to that standard ripples through to your certification, and we want you to be prepared.

So, Jackie Wright, DQS's resident expert, is hosting a live Office Hours session built around your questions:
- How the revision timeline maps onto your AS9100 cycle
- What's confirmed versus still under discussion
- An auditor's perspective on where suppliers commonly get tripped up

Bring your edge cases, we’d be glad to talk through them together.

This is a space to get clarity on the standard, not a substitute for your own internal planning.

The European Commission has adopted Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/193 of 28 January 2026, amending Decision (EU) 2021/1182 on harmonised standards under the MDR.

The update includes standards covering:
• Neurosurgical and non-active surgical implants
• Biological evaluation and clinical investigations
• Sterilization
• Biocompatibility of breathing gas pathways
• Small-bore connectors

Once published in the Official Journal of the EU, voluntary application of these standards provides presumption of conformity with the corresponding regulatory requirements.

For manufacturers, alignment with the updated harmonised standards can simplify technical documentation and support smoother assessment processes.

Is your organization reviewing the impact of these updates on existing technical files?
