Aerospace wire and cable applications are essential for transmitting power, data and signals throughout various aircraft and spacecraft systems. These components are subject to rigorous standards and requirements due to the extreme conditions and safety considerations in aerospace engineering.

The AS9100:2016 quality management system (QMS) is a necessary certification when manufacturing aerospace harnesses and assemblies. It is a revision of the previous version, AS9100:2009, based on the international QMS standard ISO 9001.

A review of upcoming standards proposals and recently published revisions is important, so that both manufacturers and users are aware of the changes, understand the ramifications of the changes and may take the appropriate steps to ensure that the wire and cable manufactured to these standards continue to comply with the requirements.
