DIN EN 16602-20:2014-12

This standard defines the quality assurance (QA) requirements for the establishment and implementation of a quality assurance programme for products of space projects. Discipline-related qualification activities are complemented in standards specific to those disciplines. For software quality assurance, the software product assurance standard, ECSS-Q-ST-80 is applicable. This standard is applicable to all space projects. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00. For the tailoring of this standard the following information is provided: A table providing pre-tailoring information for all "product types" in Clause 6; a table providing pre-tailoring information for each "project phase" in Annex J. This document (EN 16602-20-10:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 "Space", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). This document replaces DIN EN 13291-2:2005-11. This document has been developed to specifically cover space systems and therefore has precedence over any European Standard since it covers the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (for example aerospace).
