- ISO 14001 focuses on managing your organization's impact on the external environment, to reduce pollution and comply with regulations
AS 9100 differs from 14001 in several areas specific to the Aerospace industry:
- Since AS 9100 is for all companies that design develop and/or produce aviation, space and defense products, it has been endorsed by FAA, DoD and NASA as against measuring an organization’s impact on the organization.
- Focus on better operations, improved performance, and improved profitability versus reducing pollution and carbon foot print.
