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.

How does Axiospec handle AS9100 out-of-tolerance recall?

Reverse-trace from a drifted reference standard to the calibrations it stood behind, 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 sample workspace with no signup and no credit card. Tick AS9100 under Settings to turn on that standard's fields, then 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 an automatic out-of-tolerance check, reverse traceability from a drifted reference standard to the calibrations it stood behind, 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 optional maker and checker approval 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.

Does Axiospec force technicians to fill in every required field?

Yes, by default. When you select a standard, the fields that standard requires are marked on the calibration form and the save is blocked until they are filled. Enforcement is on for every workspace unless an admin turns it off in Settings. There is one deliberate exception. A brand new workspace is not held to the standard fields until it has logged its first calibration, so a first run is never trapped behind a form it cannot save. Full strictness applies from the second calibration onward. The public REST API enforces the same requirements on write.

For aerospace & defense suppliers

AS9100 calibration requirements under clause 7.1.5

AS9100 clause 7.1.5 includes all of ISO 9001's calibration requirements. Measuring equipment is calibrated or verified at set intervals against traceable standards, its calibration status is identified, it is protected from damage, and earlier results are assessed when it is found out of tolerance. AS9100 adds a register of measuring equipment with its calibration method and acceptance criteria, a process to recall equipment for calibration, and suitable environmental conditions. The checklist below breaks this into what an auditor checks.

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 reference standard to the calibrations it stood behind, 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.

Records you can keep and export

Records stay in your workspace, attributable and retrievable, while your account is open. Export the full history whenever you need it, so your own copy covers the years your contracts require.

Audit readiness you can see at a glance

A Due Calendar surfaces what is due, due soon, and overdue across every site well before a prime or Nadcap audit, with reminders so nothing lapses unnoticed, and compliance rolls 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 an automatic out-of-tolerance check, so your AS9100 traceability software is one searchable system rather than a binder. When an instrument drifts, reverse-trace from that reference standard to every calibration it stood behind in one click, then export the PDF certificate history a prime or Nadcap auditor asks for. Optional maker and checker approval, which the server enforces once switched on, a live status on every asset (in tolerance, due, overdue, or quarantined), a Due Calendar, tool crib checkout, and multi-site rollup keep an aerospace program under control across every location. Send us whatever your current system gives you and the team loads your gauge list for you, free on every plan including the free one, usually within a couple of business days. Or bring it in yourself from CSV, Excel, GAGEpack, or GAGEtrak.

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 create a free account, full capacity for its first 45 days 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.
