As part of the Aerospace and Defense (AS&D) supply chain management processes, the ICOP scheme qualifies all organizations that purchase goods and services to be recognized and accepted through the AS certifications issued by Management System Certification Bodies (MSCBs) accredited by International Accreditation Service (IAS). IAS achieved recognition under the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to serve the ‘Americas’ region covering North, Central and South America. IAS provides accreditation services to MSCBs for AS9100, AS9110, and AS9120 Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS) standards. Many major AS&D manufacturers require their direct suppliers be AS certified and recommend that all of the AS&D supply chain be AS third-party audited. The IAQG created and manages the Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) certification scheme and the Americas Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG) manages this ICOP certification scheme for the Americas.
