EN 16601-00:2018 (E) 8 4 Objectives and policy The overall objectives of using the European Space Standards system include: • achieving more cost effective space programmes and projects in Europe, • improving the competitiveness of European space industry, • improving the quality and safety of space projects and products,
• facilitating clear and unambiguous communication between all parties involved, in a form suitable for reference or quotation in legally binding documents, • reducing risk and guarantee interoperability and interface compatibility by applying proved and recognized requirements and methods. In order to meet the above stated objectives, the following policy principles are applied: European Space Standards are produced to support the formal customer-supplier relation in developing space programs and projects. In order to ensure European space programmes and projects’ efficiency in terms of technical performance, life cycle cost-effectiveness and on-time deliveries, the European Space Standards System can be adapted to specific domains of application by use of tailoring activities. NOTE
See Annex A "Example of template for an EARM for the requirements". Systematic feedback of experience from programmes, projects and other appropriate sources allows improvement of the Standards. SIST EN 16601-00:2019



EN 16601-00:2018 (E) 9 5 European Space Standards System description 5.1 Overview The European Space Standards System has been developed as a cooperative effort between the European space agencies and space industries. It comprises a comprehensive set of documents addressing all essential aspects of the major branches for the successful implementation of space programmes and projects, namely • Space system and Space project management, • Space engineering,
• Space product assurance, and
• Space systainability. All user oriented documents fall in one of those branches.
5.2 Space standards Space standards are documents for direct use in invitation to tender and business agreements for implementing space related activities.
They state verifiable requirements, supported by the minimum descriptive text necessary to understand their context.
Each requirement contained within a Standard has a unique identification, allowing full traceability and easy verification of compliance. When a requirement asks for the delivery of a document, the scope and content is specified in a dedicated DRD (Document Requirements Definition), which forms an integral part of a standard.
The Space standards focus primarily on what is required to comply with each standard, rather than how to achieve this. This approach provides the flexibility for different customers and suppliers to use established “in–house” procedures, or processes, to comply with these standards.

European Space Standards System
description
5.1 Overview
The European Space Standards System has been developed as a cooperative
effort between the European space agencies and space industries. It comprises a
comprehensive set of documents addressing all essential aspects of the major
branches for the successful implementation of space programmes and projects,
namely
• Space system and Space project management,
• Space engineering,
• Space product assurance, and
• Space systainability.
All user oriented documents fall in one of those branches.
5.2 Space standards
Space standards are documents for direct use in invitation to tender and
business agreements for implementing space related activities.
They state verifiable requirements, supported by the minimum descriptive text
necessary to understand their context.
Each requirement contained within a Standard has a unique identification,
allowing full traceability and easy verification of compliance.
When a requirement asks for the delivery of a document, the scope and content
is specified in a dedicated DRD (Document Requirements Definition), which
forms an integral part of a standard.
The Space standards focus primarily on what is required to comply with each
standard, rather than how to achieve this. This approach provides the flexibility
for different customers and suppliers to use established “in–house” procedures,
or processes, to comply with these standards.

16601-10 Project planning and Project planning and implementation discipline provides a coherent
Implementation set of processes for minimizing the technical, scheduling and
economic risks of the project. In particular this is done by:
• introducing phases and formal milestones enabling the
progress of the project to be controlled with respect to cost,
schedule and technical objectives.
• defining project breakdown structures, which constitutes
the common and unique reference system for the project
management to:
• identify the tasks and responsibilities of each actor;
• ensure the coherence between technical, documentary,
administrative and financial activities of the whole project;
• perform scheduling and costing activities.
• setting up a project organization to implement a structured
and complete approach to perform all necessary activities
on the project.
