IAQG AUTHENTICATION

READIES FOR LAUNCH

AA/AEA RECOGNITION BEGINS LATE-Q2 2026

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 will launch in late Q3 2026, with a recognition process opening in Late Q2 2026 for currently qualified auditors listed in OASIS. During this “freeze” period, existing active authentications will remain recognized while eligible auditors complete the online recognition steps. For the latest updates and answers to common questions, please refer to the News and Frequently Asked Questions on this page.
