Quality System and Certifications
What Conquest's AS9100D quality management system covers, where a part comes from when the print calls out a qualified products list, and the documentation that ships with a part.
Conquest Seal Corporation holds an AS9100D certificate (CONQ-001) whose scope reads, verbatim, "Manufacturer/distributor of O-rings, custom molded rubber and plastic products for the aerospace, defense and commercial applications." Separately, Conquest cuts gaskets in house on its own waterjet in Orange, California. The O-rings, custom molded rubber and plastic products are supplied as a distributor, not made here. The certificate covers the quality management system that handles your order, the sourcing and the paperwork; it is not a product qualification, and no seal is "AS9100 certified". This page says what the system does for a buyer, what documentation ships with a part, and how qualified parts are sourced.
What the quality system covers
| Element | What it means for an order |
|---|---|
| Certificate scope | The scope wording quoted above, covering the quality management system that handles the order; the certificate is not a product qualification |
| Registration | AS9100D; the registration is listed in the OASIS database, where a buyer can verify it |
| Supplier control | When the print calls out a specification with a qualified products list, the part, or the sheet a gasket is cut from, comes from a manufacturer on that list; commercial parts come from approved manufacturers |
| Traceability | Lot traceability from the manufacturer's certificate through Conquest's receipt and shipment |
| Documentation | Certificate of conformance with every order, naming the part number, the specification, the manufacturer, the lot, the quantity and the manufacturer's cure date; the manufacturer's test report where the program requires it; with a cut gasket, the sheet maker's material certification, and the sheet maker's compound data sheet on request |
| Receiving inspection | Identity, quantity and paperwork checks against the purchase order and specification |
| Corrective action | Documented nonconformance and corrective-action process |
How qualified parts are sourced
A part to a military or SAE specification (MS28775 to MIL-PRF-25732, M83248/1 or AS3209 to AMS7276, M25988 to MIL-DTL-25988 and SAE-AMS-R-25988, EPDM phosphate-ester rings to NAS1613, AMS 7257 FFKM) is made by manufacturers on the relevant qualified products list, where the document has one: the DLA qualified products database or a list held by SAE. Otherwise it comes from a manufacturer that certifies the part to the document. A listing belongs to the manufacturer. Conquest supplies the part and provides the certification paperwork; Conquest is not itself on any qualified products list and does not claim to be. The mil-spec chart lists the specifications, and the M83248 and AMS7276 guides decode the two most common callouts.
Document pairings are from the DLA ASSIST and SAE Mobilus records, read 2026-09-24 (SAE AMS 7257: read 2026-09-25); EPDM to NAS1613 is from the Parker® O-Ring Handbook ORD 5700, page 8-5, read 2026-09-24.
What ships with the part
| Document | When | What it states |
|---|---|---|
| Packing list and certificate of conformance | Every order | Part number, specification, manufacturer, lot, quantity, manufacturer's cure date |
| Manufacturer's certificate of conformance | Specification parts | The manufacturer's statement of conformance to the document |
| Test report | When the program requires it and the manufacturer issues one | Batch test results against the specification |
| Material certification | Cut gaskets and sheet | The sheet maker's certification of the material and its compliance line; the sheet maker's compound data sheet is available on request |
| Compliance report | Food, pharmaceutical and medical compounds | The compound maker's FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 statement, NSF listing, USP Class VI report as applicable |
| Cure date and shelf life | Aerospace elastomers | Manufacturer cure date; shelf life is counted from it. SAE ARP5316E, the storage reference seal makers cite, was cancelled in October 2018 and superseded by AS5316; the shelf-life guide gives both documents' status with sources and read dates |

Frequently asked questions
Is an AS9100 O-ring better than a commercial one?
There is no such thing as an AS9100 O-ring. AS9100D certifies a quality management system; a part's quality comes from its specification, its manufacturer's qualification and the paperwork that proves it.
Can Conquest supply QPL parts?
Yes. When the print calls out a specification with a qualified products list, the part, or the sheet a gasket is cut from, comes from a manufacturer on that list, and the certificate names that manufacturer.
Where can I verify the certificate?
The registration is listed in the OASIS database; ask and the certificate is sent with the quote.
What about export-controlled drawings?
Please don't send a drawing marked ITAR, EAR, CUI or export-controlled. For those parts, call (714) 632-9830.
Do commercial orders get the same paperwork?
A certificate of conformance ships with every order; the manufacturer's compound sheet ships on request; the batch test report is a specification-order item because the manufacturer issues it against the document. See also aerospace and defense sealing and the certificate page ; send a part number through the quote request .
