3 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document the following definitions apply:
semi-finished product see EN 4258
Note 1 to entry: Called product In the rest of this standard.
3.2
established manufacturer
manufacturer who is well established in terms of his manufactunng facilities and has manufactured products for the aerospace industry for a number of years to recognized national or company aerospace specifications, and has obtained significant statistical data for those products
These manufacturers shall already hold some form of approval conforming to EN ISO 9001 or to other national or company aerospace quality systems.
3.3
established product
product manufactured to an existing national or company aerospace specification, which is accepted as an alternative to the EN material standard, and for which significant national data is available
3.4
new manufacturer
manufacturer who has not previously manufactured products for the aerospace industry
3.5
new product
product which has not previously been manufactured, by an established or new manufacturer to a national or company aerospace specification
4 Quality assurance
4.1 Approval of quality system
See EN 9100.
4.2 Product qualification
Product qualification shall be in accordance with EN 9133.
The product tested for qualification shall be manufactured on the same equipment and in accordance with the same specification and process procedures as the serial products.
Product qualification to a material standard includes the manufacturers acceptance to a quality audit of the entire production procedure, from the raw material acquisition, through processing steps to batch release and the use of relevant standards including quality assurance documentation.
If required a confidential audit can be carried out.
Adjustment of the manufacturing schedule to accommodate improved manufacturing techniques to the state of the art is the manufacturer’s responsibility but may require requalification of the product to the material standard.
As part of the product qualification, the mandated body reserves the right to carry out processing trials and/or product qualification tests in house or at an independent facility.
All results of the product qualification tests including reference to the manufacturing schedule shall be presented in a qualification test report (see subclause 4.2.3).
Upon successful product qualification the manufacturer’s name and qualified product will be recorded at www.ASD-cert.org
The qualification is directed to the raw material specifications or sources and the equipment and the processes which have been identified in the manufacturing schedule.
NOTE To use a certain product in an aerospace application product qualification alone may not be sufficient; additional pre-andlor post-qualification testing may be required by the user:
— Pre-qualification: manufacturer’s data or screening tests to verify basic properties according to the requirements of the relevant material standard and process routes. The requirements shall be negotiated between the user and the mandated body.
Post-qualification: specific component tests when required separately specified as part of the project certification process.
These component tests are the responsibility of the user who should also spec4ty the requirements.
If the product is already qualified by an aerospace company against a recognized material standard (e.g. national or company specification) the mandated body in conjunction with (potential) user/users, may, if sufficient data (a qualification test report) is available, waive all or part of the qualification requirements tests of the material standard.
Reduction in qualification testing may also be considered for other cases, such as discontinued and re-started supply or the production of related product forms.
If the manufacturer cannot perform the required testing, a material test laboratory acceptable to the mandated body shall be appornted.
4.2.2 Re-tests
A re-test may be required when one or more test results do not meet the requirements of the product qualification test.
A re-test shall be performed on products from the same batch or batches agreed with the mandated body. All test and re-test results shall be reported. Unsatisfactory test results may be cause for refusal of the qualification of the product.
4.2.3 Test report
The product qualification test report shall contain the toflowing information:
manufacturer’s name and address; relevant products:
manufacturing schedule:
— material standard number:
delivery condition and code;
cast and batch numbers;
– tests and re-test results.
4.2.4 Safety data sheet (if applicable)
The manufacturer shall provide a safety data sheet prior to qualification testing.
