Space product assurance - Quality assurance

EN 16602-20 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 (e.g. ECSS-E-ST-32-01 for fracture control). 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 characteristic and constrains 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 the pre-tailoring per “Product types” in clause 6 • A table providing the pre-tailoring per “Project phase” in Annex J.

Zagotavljanje varnih proizvodov v vesoljski tehniki - Zagotavljanje kakovosti

Standard EN 16602-20 določa zahteve za zagotavljanje kakovosti (QA) za vzpostavitev in izvajanje programa za zagotavljanje kakovosti izdelkov za vesoljske projekte. Dejavnosti, povezane z usposobljenostjo za določene discipline, so dopolnjene v standardih, ki so značilni za te discipline (npr. ECSS-E-ST-32-01 za kontrolo razpok). Za zagotavljanje kakovosti programske opreme velja standard ECSS-Q-ST-80. Ta standard se uporablja za vse vesoljske projekte. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00. Za prilagajanje tega standarda so na voljo naslednji podatki: • preglednica, ki ponuja vnaprejšnje prilagoditve glede na »vrste izdelkov« v točki 6, • preglednica, ki ponuja vnaprejšnje prilagoditve glede na »fazo projekta« v Dodatku J.

EN 16602-20:2014 (E) 12 4 Quality assurance principles 4.1 QA management principles The prime objective of Quality Assurance (QA) management is to ensure that a QA programme for projects covering mission definition, design, development and production of space systems is established, maintained and implemented. All QA requirements are specified through definition and implementation of adequate methods and procedures. Personnel whose performance determines or affects product quality are trained and certified in accordance with project needs. 4.2 General principles The implementation of the following phase-independent activities is ensured by the QA function throughout the lead-time of projects: • critical-items control • nonconformance control • alert management • stamp control • traceability • metrology and calibration • handling, storage and preservation • statistical quality control (if required by the business agreement). 4.3 Design and verification principles The objective of the QA function is to ensure that: a. a set of design rules and methods has been set up and is consistent with the project techniques and technologies; b. methods, procedures and tools have been defined and are implemented in order to prove that each applicable requirement is verified through one or more of the following methods: analysis, inspection, test, review of design, audits; c. the design is producible and repeatable and that the resulting product can be verified and operated within the required operating limits; SIST EN 16602-20:2014



EN 16602-20:2014 (E) 13 d. design and verification activities are planned in a consistent and logical way; e. the verification process is complete and includes clear test, test model and verification logic; f. a defined qualification approach is implemented to demonstrate that the item performs satisfactorily in the intended environment. 4.4 Procurement principles All procurement activities including selection of procurement sources, procurement documents, procurement source surveillance and receiving inspection are controlled to ensure that all procured items and services conform to requirements. 4.5 Manufacturing, assembly and integration principles All manufacturing, assembly and integration operations are planned and performed in coordination with inspections and tests to ensure that the deliverables are built, assembled and integrated to the approved configuration baseline. Special processes and new technologies are identified in a timely manner and adequate evaluation or qualification activities should be implemented in line with the overall schedule. 4.6 Testing principles Test facilities and test equipment are validated prior to their use to ensure conformance to project requirements. All tests are performed in accordance with documented and released procedures and results are comprehensively recorded. 4.7 Acceptance and delivery principles The objective is to ensure that an acceptance and delivery process is implemented which allows demonstrating and documenting the conformance of the delivered item. 4.8 GSE principles Design, production, delivery and maintenance requirements for GSE are defined and implemented allowing for testability, availability, safety, life duration, operability and ability to interface as necessary with space segment in a safe way.
