Changing AS9100 Scope for new products

We're manufacturing another product which is not covered under this certification. We're in the pipeline of implementing the requirements of the AS standard for this product. Can the new product be brought within the already available certification or else we've start afresh?

Answer:
You certainly do not need to start over. What you need to do is to discuss with your certification body the fact that you need to change the scope of your QMS to include this new product. They will discuss with you how to change your scope and what auditing they will need to do to update your scope on your certificate. Before they can perform any required auditing for this product you will need to apply the rules for the AS 9100 QMS this product, but make sure that you do n ot claim that this product is part of your scope until you have changed your scope within your QMS and with your certification body so that they can issue your new certification with the changed scope on it.

These changes may also affect your quality policy with the change is scope. For more on the quality policy for AS9100 RevD, see this article: How to write the AS9100D Quality Policy, https://advisera.com/9100academy/blog/2018/07/09/how-to-write-the-as9100d-quality-policy/
