Different ways of viewing and understanding the ICOP scheme

3. What Is ICOP?
ICOP is a globally harmonized Aviation, Space & Defense Quality Management System (AQMS) Certification process defined by the IAQG
Industry Controlled:
The IAQG through each Sector provides direct oversight of all AQMS certification activities
Other Party:
Certifications activities are conducted by accredited Certification Bodies (CB) and Authenticated Aerospace Experienced Auditors (AEA) that are recognized through the ICOP process
ICOP process is managed by the IAQG Other Party Management Team (OPMT)
Provides AQMS certification for 9100, 9110 and 9120

4. What Is ICOP? Benefits Risks
Globally harmonized certification scheme that is recognized by major Aviation, Space and Defense companies
Supports supplier approval activities with a recognized quality management system certification
Process approach to conformance assessment
Focus on exceeding customer expectations
Risks
Does not prevent procurement from poor performing suppliers
It is not certification of product

5. Industry Controlled Other Party
Our Aviation, Space & Defense sector certification scheme utilizes:
ISO for basic requirements, and
supplements ISO with Aviation, Space and Defense (AS&D) unique requirements.
e.g. ISO 9001 as supplemented by 9100
Certification Criteria are linked to ISO/IEC and International Accreditation Forum (IAF) Documents

6. IAQG OPMT Mission: Strategic Objectives:
Management and oversight of the 9100 series Aviation, Space and Defense Quality Management System certification program.
Strategic Objectives:
Continually improve the globally harmonized Industry Control Other Party quality management system certification program to be efficient, recognized, and bring measurable benefits to stakeholders.
Enhance the competency of Auditors, Other Party (OP) Assessors and stakeholders that are engaged in ICOP activities.

9. 9104 Series “Trilogy” 9104-001 Scope:
Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Quality Management System Certification Programs
Scope:
The purpose of this standard is to define the requirements and industry-accepted practices for managing the ICOP scheme, which provides confidence to aviation, space, and defense customers and organizations that their suppliers with certification of their quality management systems, issued by accredited CBs, meet the applicable AQMS standard requirements.
The requirements established in this standard are applicable to the IAQG and its three sectors for managing AQMS certification and associated activities.

10. 9104 Series “Trilogy” 9104-002 Scope:
Requirements for Oversight of Aerospace Quality Management System Registration/Certification Programs
Scope:
These requirements are applicable to IAQG global sectors when utilizing Aerospace Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) schemes for the assessment and certification of supplier quality systems in accordance with the requirements contained in IAQG member companies have committed to perform sufficient oversight of the Aerospace accreditation/certification assessment processes in order to ensure conformance to established requirements contained in 9104.

11. 9104 Series “Trilogy” 9104-003 Scope:
Requirements for Aerospace Auditor Competency and Training Courses
Scope:
This document provides the minimum requirements (Body of Knowledge) for AQMS auditors who will participate in AQMS certification/registration activities, including the auditor authentication process and requirements for a training organization. It is applicable to auditors seeking formal approval to conduct audits of the AQMS in support of the IAQG, and those who manage the competency element of an AQMS audit program and/or training organizations.

12. ICOP Criteria 9104-001 – Accreditation/Certification Requirements
Certification Structures
Sector Requirements
