Welcome to IAQG Authentication!
IAQG Authentication is a program managed by IAQG that ensures auditors conducting certification audits in the aviation, space, and defense industries meet consistent, globally aligned standards. By adopting a centrally managed approach, IAQG reduces variability across regional processes and promotes a more uniform interpretation of standards that continues to elevate confidence in the IAQG Certification Scheme worldwide. IAQG Authentication launched in September 2026.
Authenticated Aerospace Auditor (AA) or Aerospace Experienced Auditor (AEA) in the IAQG Certification scheme as of June 2026? If so, you are eligible for recognition by IAQG Authentication. Although the initial application window closed on 27 August 2026, a Late Recognition option will be available in early-September. You will need access to your IAQG Training account, your OIN, and your OASIS account information to complete the process.
IAQG Authentication offers two levels of third-party auditor authentication in the IAQG Certification Scheme. Not yet in the scheme? Start by applying for the 9100 AQMS standard. Existing IAQG third-party auditor? Expand your scope with 9110 or 9120, or advance to Level 1 Authentication.
