AS9100 to IA9100: A Fraud of Transition 40-Year QA Expert DARYL GUBERMAN Says Boeing Cannot Rebrand

NEW YORK - Jan. 1, 2026 - PRLog -- The proposed transition from AS9100 to IA9100 is being presented as reform. According to Daryl Guberman, a 40-year Quality Assurance expert and Boeing shareholder, it is nothing more than a cosmetic maneuver designed to bury history, not correct it.

"Renaming a standard does not correct twenty-three years of documented quality erosion," said Guberman. "It does not undo what occurred after September 11, 2001, when speed, outsourcing, and production pressure replaced independent oversight and true compliance."

For more than two decades, Boeing did not operated under AS9100 while critical nonconformities accumulated, there were no audits, and supplier accreditation became a paper shield rather than a safeguard. The IA9100 transition does not address how AS9100 was misapplied, diluted, or ignored — it simply moves the goalposts.

Even if Boeing seeks IA9100 accreditation through ANAB or any internationally "equivalent" body, the reality remains unchanged. These accreditations ultimately sit under GLOBAC, a transitional construct tied to the consolidation of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and ILAC. According to Guberman, this global restructuring distances accountability rather than strengthens it.

"This is accreditation theater," Guberman stated. "Global logos, merged forums, and mutual recognition agreements do not equal enforcement."

Following on-site observations October 2024 at Everett, Renton, Auburn, and Northfield, Guberman asserts that systemic issues were not anomalies — they were normalized. Audits became events, corrective actions became documentation exercises, and accountability was endlessly deferred.

"You cannot transition away from failure without first acknowledging it," Guberman concluded. "IA9100 inherits the unresolved legacy of AS9100. Until that truth is faced, this so-called transition is not progress — it is denial."
