ASA Accreditation Program
The ASA Accreditation Program (ASAAP) is a 36 month audit program based on the ASA-100 Standard.
The standard was created to comply with the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 00-56A,
the Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program. ASA-100
emphasizes issues such as impartiality, competence, and reliability -
all specific to the regulated needs of the aerospace industry. ASA's
experienced auditors have all worked for air carriers and have
extensive experience in the aviation regulations and industry business
practices. Click here to view the steps to becoming accredited.
History of ASAAP
On September 5, 1996, the FAA published Advisory Circular (AC) 00-56, titled, "Voluntary
Industry Distributor Accreditation Program." The purpose of this Advisory
Circular was to describe an accreditation system for civil aircraft parts
distributors on the basis of voluntary industry oversight and provide
information useful for developing an accreditation program.
As a strong proponent of the voluntary accreditation program, the Aviation Suppliers
Association assisted the FAA in writing AC 00-56, and, as a result,
developed its own quality system standard, ASA-100. The ASA-100 Quality
System Standard has since become the leading quality system standard under FAA AC-0056A.
