IA9100 transition planning
IA9100 and AS9102 FAI: what changes to watch
As of July 2, 2026, IAQG public material points to a 2026 IA9100 publication path aligned with the ISO 9001 revision. Treat final transition dates and customer flowdowns as pending until IAQG, certification bodies, and customers publish the controlling documents.

FAI watch list
| IA9100 topic | FAIR impact to prepare for now |
|---|---|
| Product safety | Keep risk, safety-critical notes, and customer reporting evidence traceable to the FAIR package. |
| Information security and data protection | Control who can see drawings, CMM files, FAIR exports, and retained evidence. |
| APQP and phased planning | Connect FAI planning to control plans, measurement plans, and launch-readiness milestones. |
| Counterfeit prevention | Make material and part traceability evidence easy to review with Form 2 and the FAIR package. |
| Sub-tier control | Track which lower-tier certificate, special process, or test evidence supports each FAI row. |
What not to overstate
Do not rewrite your AS9102 process from rumors. IA9100 is a quality-management-system revision path, while AS9102 remains the FAI process standard. The practical move is to make current FAIR evidence easier to trace, retain, secure, and update when customer flowdowns change.
Milestone update plan
- Recheck IAQG public material when ISO 9001:2026 and IA9100 ballot or publication milestones move.
- Update this page when official transition rules, certification-body guidance, or customer flowdowns are published.
- Review customer FAIR procedures after each purchase-order clause update.

FAQ
Does IA9100 replace AS9102?
No. IA9100 is the 9100 quality-management-system revision path. AS9102 remains the aerospace First Article Inspection process standard unless an official revision or customer requirement says otherwise.
Should suppliers change their FAIR forms now?
Use the AS9102 revision and customer flowdown required by the purchase order. Prepare by tightening evidence traceability, data controls, and change-review discipline.

Keep the FAIR review tied to the print
Articul pre-fills Forms 1-3 from the print and routes anything uncertain to you, including drawing notes and title-block fields, while preserving source traceability for review.
