  How to build the packet step by step, and what these templates are and are not.

These are templates, not certifications. Whether a packet meets AS9102 depends on your customer's purchase order and flow-down requirements, and many customers want their own forms. AI Inspection Tools does not claim AS9100 registration or ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and your QA keeps final sign-off. If your customer requires accredited calibration or a certified FAI, we can help you route it to an accredited lab.
