Letchworth Garden City, UK – 7 October 2026
On-systems, a UK defence power solutions company, has achieved the AS9100 certification. The certification applies to the company's work across power supply design, build to print, technology development and Mil COTS power supplies for customers in the defence, aerospaceand marine sectors.
What Is AS9100 & Why Is It Important?
AS9100 is the international quality management standard for aviation, space and defence. It builds on the principles of ISO 9001 and adds the requirements needed in these sectors. Requirements include risk management, traceability, configuration control and continual improvement.
Certification is awarded by an accredited, independent body that audits a company's processes and confirms that they meet the standard. For procurement and programme teams, this accreditation gives a clear and recognised measure of quality when choosing a trusted power partner.
What It Means For On-systems’ Clients
On-systems designs robust, power systems in the UK for harsh environments. Certification supports this work in several practical ways:
- Consistent quality - documented, audited processes support repeatable results
- Traceability - clear records help clients meet the strict quality requirements for defence & aerospace programmes
- Lower supply chain risk - working with an AS9100 certified supplier gives primes & integrators greater confidence
- Smoother approvals - many major customers expect AS9100 as standard, this makes supplier assessments simpler
- Continual improvement - regular audits keep standards high over the long term
On-systems has a strong reputation and already works in partnership with its clients as an extension of their internal teams. Certification strengthens these relationships by giving customers independent assurance as well as the high levels of day to day service they already receive.
Mike Harvey, Director at On-systems, said: "AS9100 is the international quality management standard for aviation, space and defence. It is not a badge for the wall. It is independent confirmation that our processes meet the same bar expected by major aerospace and defence customers worldwide. For a company of our size, designing and building high-reliability power systems in the UK, that is a serious achievement.”
Looking Ahead
On-systems will continue to develop its innovative power solutions for demanding operational environments with agility and forward thinking. Clients can expect the same engineering focus and close collaboration, now backed by an internationally recognised quality framework to meet rigorous industry standards.
