ADVISORY CIRCULAR (AC) 00-56B

Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program

About

Advisory Circular (AC) 00-56B is a voluntary program for accrediting civil aircraft parts distributors based on industry oversight. AC 00-56B is backed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which strongly endorses participation to help certified companies establish the eligibility of parts and products for installation on U.S.– type certificated products.

What it means for your business

Demonstrating this compliance shows your company’s participation in this voluntary industry oversight of your quality systems. In addition to being recognized by the FAA as an approved customer, your company will establish eligibility for parts for installation.

Benefits of compliance

Companies that successfully demonstrate compliance with AC 00-56B will obtain a major benefit of the eligibility of their parts or products for installation, ensure proper documentation of their parts, and improve the traceability of their inventory.

AC 00-56B also:

  • Validates adherence with AC 00-56B requirements for customers seeking this assurance, and facilitates the organization’s inclusion in the official Aviation Suppliers Association database.
  • Assists in verifying the qualification of components and goods while fostering confidence in the integrity of the supply chain.
  • May be coordinated with the audit schedules of the AS 9120 and 9100 series and ISO 9001.
  • Acknowledgment of your organization’s dedication to fulfilling global industry standards.
  • Customers who have attained certification to the AS 9120 or 9100 series or ISO 9001 are already making substantial progress toward satisfying the criteria of AC 00-56B.
