About Us
ASD-CERT is an association founded in 1990 by and affiliated with ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe). Its mission is to certify the quality of standard aerospace products in compliance with EN 9133 – Quality Management Systems – Qualification Procedure for Aerospace Standard Parts.
To achieve this, ASD-CERT qualifies standard aerospace products based on the manufacturers’ quality management systems and their EN 9100 accreditation. This ensures compliance with applicable standards—primarily, but not limited to, EN standards—and guarantees that qualification requirements are met.
ASD-CERT obtained ISO 9001 certification in October 2024.
The association operates as a non-profit, independent second-party organization with no commercial interest. Its current members include Rolls-Royce plc, SAAB, Safran, Airbus, Leonardo Company, Thales, ArianeGroup, Dassault Aviation, MTU Aero Engines, and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).
Previously, ASD-CERT maintained a list of “approved” manufacturers (TR 3040-1) and a list of qualified aerospace products (TR 3040-2). Both were withdrawn on 31 January 2008. ASD-CERT no longer issues or renews QA Quality Approval letters. The updated list of EN 9100-certified manufacturers is available in the IAQG OASIS database.
ASD-CERT continues to conduct EN 9133 product qualification audits, issue certificates, and renew existing product qualifications.
The only official list of qualified products is available on this website in the Qualified Products section.
