Accreditation Alert! Draft AC 00-56B is Out for Comment
The FAA has released for public comment AC 00-56B, which is the draft revision to the Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program (the current version is AC 00-56A). ASA has been a part of this program since the beginning, and is an important FAA partner in the mission to improve aviation safety through effective management systems. The FAA has strongly endorsed participation in the AC 00-56 program and is revising it to reflect the changes in regulatory requirements and industry practices since the last revision. The draft is open for public comment through January 4, 2015. If you would like to have your comments included with those of ASA, please send them to michele@aviationsuppliers.org by December 31, 2014.

ASA is an Accredited Registrar for AS9100 and AS9120
ASA, using the trade name ASACB, is now accredited to conduct AS9100 and AS9120 audits. ASACB’s accreditation is through ANAB and allows ASACB to issue accredited certificates for AS9100 and AS9120 which, among many things, means that the audit results and certificates will be listed in the IAQG OASIS database. If you are interested in an AS9100, AS9120, ISO 9001 or ASA-100 audit, contact the group that knows the aerospace and distribution industry – ASA!
Misuse of ASA Trademark
ASA recognizes the value of ASA’s logos for users, and ASA actively protects the Association name and benefits given to its members. There are three different logos, all of which are trademarked: ASA Membership, ASA-100 Accreditation and ASACB. If you see any company using one of ASA's logos illegally, please report them to us and we will determine the best course of action. In addition to checking the Member Directory and ASA-100 list, please visit the Illegal Use of Logo page if you have questions about a company claiming affiliation to ASA.
