What is AS9102- FAI Standard?

• International Standard for First Article inspection (FAI), co-published as

• AS9102 by SAE in Americas
• EN 9102 by AECMA in Europe
• SJAC 9102 by SJAC in Asia

• Developed by International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)

• Outlines the Documentation and Inspection Requirements

• Published in August 2000

Motivation to Develop a Common Standard

• Current Status

• Aerospace Companies Have Somewhat Common Requirements for First Article Inspection (FAI)
• Documentation Requirements Differ

• Common Standard and Unified Requirements Will

• Eliminate Common Errors and Omissions
• Simplify FAI for Suppliers
• Focus on Product Quality Rather Than Documentation

• Writing Team Charter:

• Standardized Aerospace FAI Requirements
• A Common Form of Documentation for Supplier FAI

Key Elements of AS/EN/SJAC 9102

• When to Perform FAI- Full And/or “Delta * ” FAI: Specific Triggers

• What to Inspect: Unified Requirements for Inspection

• How to Document- Common Format for Documenting FAI Results

• * Delta FAI: The FAI requirements may be satisfied by addressing differences between current configuration and prior approved configurations

When to Perform First Article Inspection?

• Full FAI

• New Part
• New Supplier or New Location of Manufacture
• Lapse in Production- Default: 24 Months

• Delta* FAI

• Drawing Change/ Revision Change
• Manufacturing Process Change: Including NC Programs, Material Change, Sub-tier Change
• Change in Inspection Method or Inspection Plan

• * Delta FAI: The FAI requirements may be satisfied by addressing differences between current configuration and prior approved configurations

Applicability

• Assemblies and All Levels of Parts Within an Assembly, Including Castings and Forgings

• Organizations That Are Responsible for Producing the Design Characteristics

• Suppliers and Their Subcontractors Who Produce Design Characteristics,
• Suppliers Responsible for Ensuring That Characteristics Conform to Customer Requirements.

What is Included in First Article Inspection?

• Verification of All Design Characteristics:

• Dimensional Verification Via Marked up (or “Ballooned”) Drawing That Correlates Characteristic Number From FAI to the Drawing.
• Part Marking Replication

• Material and Special Process Certs

• (Including Operator Certs (e.g. NDT, Welding), If Required).

• Manufacturing Process Verifications

• Manufacturing Routing Sheets.
• Referenced Exhibits Supporting the FAI (e.g. CMM Data Printouts, Test Data, Acceptance Test Procedures, Process Certifications, etc.).
• Process Capability Studies, As Applicable.
• Gauge Correlation, As Applicable.
• Tooling Traceability, If Tooling Is Used to Verify Design Characteristics

• Nonconformance Resolutions

Common Documentation Requirements

• Standardized Forms With Each Field Numerically Coded

• Form 1: Part Number Accountability
• Form 2: Product Accountability – Raw Material, Special Process(s), Functional Testing
• Form 3: Characteristic Accountability, Verification and Compatibility Evaluation

• Forms May Be Generated Electronically... Must Contain All the Required Information

• SAE Allows Free Reproduction of the Forms
