ASA-100: New Certificate Design and New Standard Revision (v.3.6)
There is a new design for the ASA-100 Certificate. These new certificates, with an effective date of March 1, 2012, will be sent by both email and US Mail to accredited companies. After March 1, 2012, any certificate in the old design will be considered null. To view the design of the new certificate, visit the ASA-100 Documents page of the website.

Additionally, a new revision of the ASA-100 Standard (rev. 3.6) is set to be released on March 1, 2012 with an implantation date of September 1, 2012, which gives ample time to be in full compliance. Details on the new revision, along with an explanation of changes, will be sent via email to all ASA-100 companies and will be available soon on the website. If you have any questions, please direct them to Stephanie Brown at stephanie@aviationsuppliers.org.

Illegal Use of ASA's Logos/False Statements
There is value in the ASA's logos for users and ASA wants to protect the association name and the 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.
