MAINTENANCE REPAIR & OPERATION (MRO) WORKING GROUP

The objective of the MRO Working Group is to assist in the continued development, acceptance, and application of the 9110 QMS — Requirements for Aviation Maintenance Organizations. In 2022, the 9110 and the MRO teams met to review the 26 comments received as part of the 9110 Five Year Review. Three comments from this review will be considered for the next 9110 revision. The year ended with two more meetings and addressed future alignment on the 9100 series with an additional proposal raised on the First Process evaluation — FPE (9110 clause 8.5.1.4 Evaluation of a New Capability).

Requirements Strategy Stream Team

NOW IAQG-1 COMMITTEE

In 2022, progress was made in our goal of launching a sizable transition for the organization. What was formally known as the Requirements Strategy Stream Team, which develops the standards, prepares them for ballot and publication, transitioned to what is now called the IAQG-1 Standards Management Committee (SMC). The SMC reports to a newly formed IAQG Standards Council and provides a focus specific to the IAQG segment of the aviation, space, and defense industry.

This transition streamlines the balloting and publication process considerably by only having to ballot in one unified body versus three or more. What’s most important to note is that all the people involved in standards development and balloting previously will also be involved in the future. Some title changes were necessary, but the same statement of work effort will exist.

In addition to the transition work, writing teams covering various standards and their stages of updates were able to make strides in 2022 with four standards in the publishing stage, three in the balloting stage, and 11 standards in the Five-Year Review. These reviews continue to use the exit criterion checklist, which adds to the consistency of the reviews. The 9100, the IAQG’s flagship standard, has completed the Five-Year Review process, and the publication projected timeline is targeted for between late 2024 to late 2025, depending on ISO 9001 timing.
