NATO's AQAP 2110, or Allied Quality Assurance Publication 2110, is a set of standards developed by NATO to ensure the quality of defense products and services provided by contractors and suppliers. It's part of a series of AQAP documents designed to harmonise the defence quality requirements among NATO member countries and their contractors.
AQAP 2110 is designed to supplement ISO 9001 standards in contexts that require additional confidence in the quality of delivered products and services, particularly in the defence sector. It specifies requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) that ensures products and services meet both customer and regulatory needs. The document is tailored for defence procurement that involves complex and high-risk products.
Achieving and maintaining AQAP 2110 compliance can be a significant endeavour, requiring dedicated resources and a deep understanding of both the standard itself and the broader regulatory environment of the defence industry.
