For aerospace & defense suppliers
AS9100 calibration requirements under clause 7.1.5
AS9100 builds on ISO 9001 with the additional rigor the aerospace and defense supply chain demands: stronger configuration control, risk management, and an expectation that records are complete and recoverable years later. Calibration is a frequent finding in AS9100 and Nadcap audits. Axiospec keeps your measuring equipment under control and your documentation recall fast.
AS9100 calibration requirements checklist (clause 7.1.5)
Clause 7.1.5.1 Monitoring and measuring resources
Calibrate or verify measuring equipment against traceable standards, identify each item's calibration status, and safeguard it from adjustment or damage that would invalidate the results. AS9100 carries ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5 in full and is audited against it with little tolerance for gaps.
Clause 7.1.5.2 Measurement traceability
Where measurement traceability is a requirement, keep an unbroken, documented chain to national or international measurement standards, with a stated measurement uncertainty on each calibration.
Recall and out-of-tolerance handling
When equipment is found out of tolerance, you must be able to recall and assess the product and measurements it affected, and document the disposition.
Records retention and availability
Quality records must be retained and remain legible and retrievable for the periods your customers and regulators require.
How Axiospec helps AS9100 teams
Defensible records, recalled in seconds
A tamper-evident ledger with full user attribution means the calibration history a prime or Nadcap auditor asks for is one export away, not a week of archaeology.
Out-of-tolerance recall built in
Reverse-trace from a drifted instrument to the calibrations and product it touched, so recall and disposition are documented, not reconstructed from memory.
Configuration and status control
Per-asset status, intervals, and history keep measuring equipment controlled, flag anything past its calibration window, and let you quarantine equipment that should be pulled from service.
Retention for the life of the contract
Records stay legible, attributable, and retrievable for as long as your contracts require, with nothing to lose in a flood or a server migration.
Audit readiness you can see at a glance
The Audit-Readiness Scorecard gives you a live 0 to 100 readiness score and shows exactly which gaps to close before a prime or Nadcap audit, and a Due Calendar surfaces what is due, due soon, and overdue across every site, rolled up per site with a workspace-wide total.
Tool crib check-out with full custody
Check gauges out to a technician with a due-back date, see who has what at a glance, and check them back in with one click, keeping a full chain of custody on the record for controlled equipment.
Calibration and traceability software for AS9100 compliance
AS9100 carries ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5 on monitoring and measuring resources in full, and aerospace primes and Nadcap auditors hold you to it with little tolerance for gaps. You have to calibrate against traceable standards, identify each instrument's calibration status, safeguard equipment from invalidating adjustments, and, when a gauge is found out of tolerance, recall and assess the product and measurements it affected. Axiospec is calibration software built to keep that evidence complete, attributable, and recoverable years later, instead of scattered across spreadsheets and a filing cabinet.
Every calibration lands in a tamper-evident, hash-chained ledger with as-found and as-left readings and automatic pass or fail, so your AS9100 traceability software is one searchable system rather than a binder. When an instrument drifts, reverse-trace from that gauge to the calibrations and product it touched in one click, then export the PDF certificate history a prime or Nadcap auditor asks for. Two-person maker and checker e-signatures, a live status on every asset (in tolerance, due, overdue, or quarantined), a Due Calendar, an Audit-Readiness Scorecard, tool crib checkout, and multi-site rollup keep an aerospace program under control across every location. Bring your existing gauge list in yourself from CSV, Excel, GAGEpack, or GAGEtrak, or let the team migrate it for you at no charge.
Aerospace customers and primes tend to ask for the traceability behind a part, so the useful test is whether you can produce it in one click. Try that on the live demo with no signup, or start a 14-day trial with no card and import your own list. Unlimited users come on every plan, and the free tier runs a full program up to 50 active assets, which covers many suppliers outright. Axiospec produces the traceable, audit-ready records AS9100 leans on; it does not certify or guarantee conformance, which your certification body determines against your scope and processes.

AS9100 calibration: common questions
Does AS9100 require calibration software?
No. AS9100 carries ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5 in full and adds expectations around out-of-tolerance recall and long records retention, but it names no specific tool. Software is how most aerospace suppliers keep that documentation complete and recoverable. Axiospec provides it; conformance is determined by your registrar or customer.
What does AS9100 expect for measuring equipment beyond ISO 9001?
The same calibration, traceability, status, and safeguarding as ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5, audited with little tolerance for gaps, plus the ability to recall and assess the product and measurements an out-of-tolerance instrument affected, and records that stay legible and retrievable for the periods your customers and regulators require.
How does Axiospec handle AS9100 out-of-tolerance recall?
Reverse-trace from a drifted instrument to the calibrations and product it touched, so recall and disposition are documented rather than reconstructed from memory, and the calibration history a prime or Nadcap auditor asks for is one export away.
Can I see Axiospec set up for AS9100 in a demo?
Yes. The live demo opens a working AS9100 calibration program, with no signup and no credit card, so you can click through the ledger, recall, and audit export before moving any data.
What should I look for in AS9100 calibration software?
Look for traceable calibration records you cannot silently edit, as-found and as-left readings with automatic pass or fail, reverse traceability from a drifted instrument to the product it affected, calibration status and interval control on every asset, and fast, complete export for a prime or Nadcap audit. Axiospec covers all of it in a tamper-evident ledger with two-person maker and checker e-signatures and multi-site rollup. It keeps your program documented and audit-ready; certification still depends on your own processes, scope, and assessor.
Is Axiospec a good fit for a small AS9100 shop?
Yes. The free plan runs the full platform for up to 50 active assets with unlimited users and no per-seat charge, so a small aerospace supplier can put its whole gauge crib under control without a big software budget. When you outgrow 50 assets, paid plans start at $59 per month for 500 assets, and Professional and above add the REST API. Axiospec keeps your calibration records clean and audit-ready; conformance is determined by your registrar or customer.
Does using AS9100 software make me AS9100 compliant?
No. Software cannot certify you. AS9100 compliance is determined by your registrar and your customers against your own processes, scope, and evidence. What software does is keep that evidence traceable and audit-ready. Axiospec gives you a tamper-evident calibration ledger, reverse traceability from a drifted instrument, and one-click audit export so the calibration part of an AS9100 audit is not where you pick up a finding.
Axiospec is a documentation and workflow tool. It helps you produce clean, traceable records that support AS9100 compliance; certification depends on your own processes, scope, and assessor.
