The IAQG 9100/9110/9120 series is not an ISO standard
It is a separate certification scheme for aerospace, space and defense, built on the ISO 9001 base; it is shown in search as an IAQG scheme, not as 'ISO'.

Aerospace and Defense
In aerospace and defense the candidate set is not one activity but three subsets that ISIC classifies separately: aircraft and spacecraft (ISIC 3030), military combat vehicles (ISIC 3040), and weapons and ammunition (ISIC 2520). Each subset carries its own supply chain regime; a question or record that applies to one is not automatically applied to another.

Most commonly confused in Aerospace and Defense
Aircraft/spacecraft, military vehicles and weapons/ammunition are not one activity
ISIC places them in three different classes — 3030, 3040 and 2520 — with no shared umbrella class. Each is questioned and verified separately by its own supply chain role.
Candidate ISO standards
No verified candidate standards are mapped to this sector yet.
Non-ISO programmes common in this field
These are not ISO standards; each has its own scheme owner, issuing body and rules. Whether they are candidates is decided by activity and buyer requirement.
