AS9102 is the North American aerospace standard for First Article Inspection Requirements (like SJAC9102 for Japanese Aerospace Standards and EN9102 for European Aerospace Standards). First article inspection can be documented on Forms 1 (Part Number Accountability), 2 (Product Accountability), and 3 (Characteristic Accountability, Verification ...
Prior to development of AS 9100 standards for Quality Management Systems, the U.S. military applied two specifications to supplier quality and inspection programs, respectively, MIL-Q-9858A [6] Quality Program Requirements, and MIL-I-45208A Military Specification: Inspection System Requirements.

The second sentence of this article contradicts AS9102. The second sentence refers to the "testing of a pre-production sample", but AS9102 section 5.1 specifically states: "5.1 First Article Inspection (FAI) shall be performed for a new part representative of the first production run.
National Aerospace Standards (NAS) are U.S. industry standards for the aerospace industry. They are created and maintained by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). [1] The Federal Aviation Administration recognizes National Aerospace Standards as "traditional standards" for the purposes of parts approval.
Beyond simple conformance, other requirements for efficiency, interoperability, or compliance may apply. Conformance testing may be undertaken by the producer of the product or service being assessed, by a user, or by an accredited independent organization, which can sometimes be the author of the standard being used.
It is still difficult for systems designers to build machines that allow finished products to be inspected easily. To do so requires an understanding of the product being manufactured and how inspection tasks can improve the quality control process. [3] Inspection can represent a significant percentage of an existing product's manufacturing cost.
A type certificate (TC) is issued to signify the airworthiness of the approved design or "type" of an aircraft to be manufactured. The TC is issued by a regulatory authority, and once issued, the design cannot be changed unless at least part of the process for certification is repeated to cover the changes.
The history of testing, inspection and certification services spans back several centuries. In the late 19th century, following the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the considerable risks involved with high-pressure steam boilers, specialized institutions emerged across Europe which carried out periodical inspections of such vessels to assess their overall condition as a precautionary ...
