AEROSPACE DISTRIBUTION

AS9120
Traceability, product assurance and distributor control.

Practical guidance for aerospace distributors and logistics organizations — focused on requirement flow-down, approved sources, product verification, traceability and counterfeit-parts prevention.

CORE FOCUS

What AS9120 distribution control is really protecting

01

Traceability

Preserve source identity, lot/serial linkage and documentary continuity from receipt through shipment.

02

Supplier control

Use approved sources, flow down requirements and verify externally provided processing and records.

03

Product verification

Confirm configuration, identification, certificates, concessions and customer-specific deliverables before release.

04

Counterfeit prevention

Control sourcing, evidence integrity, segregation and escalation for suspect or unauthorized product.

WORKING MODEL

Think in terms of an evidence-preservation chain

Distributor quality control is less about transforming the product and more about preserving its identity, approved status and evidence as it moves through the supply chain.
