Proposed Revision to Resolution 45 Current resolution: 9104 clarification to provide Harmonized Requirements for… Surveillance at least one annual office and one annual witness assessment, but include each accredited standard at least once in the accreditation cycle during the annual activities. PROBLEM – There is no value in witnessing AS9120 audits. ANAB is very leery of witnessing an AS9120 audit and nothing else for aerospace in a given year. Proposed Revision For surveillance, at least one annual office assessment and one annual witness assessment shall be conducted. During the accreditation cycle, the witness assessment program must include AS9100 and AS9110 when the CB is accredited for both. Note: Annual AS9120 witness assessments are not required. If due to specific AS9120 issues the AB is requiring an AS9120 witness assessment then it shall be in addition to the annual AQMS witness assessment.
