Design and Develop
Product specification and design, technical development and qualification, the definition of product key characteristics, support to manufacturing and process design, technical changes and obsolescence management, technical operational documentation and manuals, instructions for continued airworthiness when applicable.
In support of the IAQG Standard 9115 Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations – Deliverable Software, the IAQG provides deployment support materials in the Core Guidance and Toolbox sections below.
The 9115 standard clarifies the 9100 quality management system requirements for deliverable software addressing activities from project planning through product delivery and maintenance. Deliverable software covered by 9115 may be stand-alone, embedded, or loadable into a target computer.
Areas within 9115 where clarifications of 9100 are concentrated include:
Infrastructure, Planning for Product Realization, Configuration Management, Security, Design and Development, Production and Service Provision, Control of Nonconforming Product,
And the introduction of customer application process guidance for:
-
- Design and development of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Programmable Logic Devices (PLD).
- Simulation system software
- Test system software

The Notification of Change NOC training material is designed to assist organizations in executing a notification of a change in accordance with the IAQG Standard 9116. The material is provided in the form of an articulate training module that explains the use of the actual NoC Tool and the NoC Tool itself, created by the IAQG 9116 writing team.
This Change Impact Analysis Tool has been developed for use with IAQG Standard 9116 Notification of Change (NOC) Requirements (AS9116, SJAC9116 prEn9116). The purpose of the 9116 NOC Tool is to provide guidance for organizations to better understand when a NOC is to be completed in accordance with 9116 and how. The objective is to promote the benefits of the 9116 NOC Tool, to gain broader acceptance, whether or not the organization is required to use it, and to increase skills for those involved in managing design change notifications.
Historically, the IAQG Standard 9100 definition of Special Requirements asserts that KCs are a subset of CIs and CIs are a subset of SRs. In practice that has not been the case. It is this assertion that has been driving improper selection and use of critical and key characteristics in ASD. Once the improper selection and use has happened, then it is extremely difficult to reverse, resulting in improper reactions, tying up resources on nonvalue added activity robbing them from work on characteristics that need to be controlled. In practice, SRs, CIs, and KCs are related but also have a level of independence from each other.
Special Characteristic Selection and Control guidance has been developed to provide clarification of Special Requirements (SRs), Critical Items (CIs), and Key Characteristics (KCs) and provide guidance on how an organization can identify and implement SRs, CIs, and KCs for products and processes. The term Special Characteristic has been created as an umbrella term to cover various types of characteristics requiring specific actions to ensure adequate controls
Safety, Essential, and Key characteristics are collectively referred to as Special Characteristics. Product Special Characteristics can be broken down into characteristics related to critical items which are defined by safety or essential characteristics and Key characteristics that would benefit from variation control. Once selected, product special characteristics can be evaluated through a manufacturing risk analysis (e.g., Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Design of Experiments (DOE), etc.) to determine relevant process characteristics that exhibit a significant effect on an associated product characteristic resulting in the identification of process characteristics that ensure effective process controls are in place to ensure optimal variation control on the product characteristic.
Once the process characteristics to be monitored have been determined, the product and process characteristics should then be documented in a Control Plan (CP) in accordance with IAQG Standard 9103. As part of the activity associated with the CP, a Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Plan should be completed capturing the availability of gaging, resources, production time, etc. to ensure an efficient and effective MSA.
SCMH 2.4.1 is replacing SCMH 2.4.2 SRCI Awareness and 2.4.3 SRCI Guidelines. 2.4.4 SRCI Self Assessment Maturity Model is currently under revision to align with SCMH 2.4.1

This guidance provides an understanding of the benefits and needs for Engineering Tolerance Analysis. It contains a flow chart for ETA with details for each element. The guidance provides various ETA Tools with some examples and calculations for;
- Worst Case Analysis
- Root Sum square formula (RSS)
- Benderizing Factor
- Gibson Factor
- Simulation (Monte Carlo)
IAQG standards AS/EN/JISQ/SJAC 9100, 9110 and 9120 require every organization to continuously improve their performances and determine actions to ensure these performances are in line with targets defined by internal and external stakeholders.
IAQG Product and Supply Chain Improvement Strategy Stream has identified a list of most commonly used Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering the main domains of the supply chain (‘Customer metrics’, ‘Engineering and Product Development’, ‘Program Management’, ‘Manufacturing and Production’, ‘Supplier Management’, and ‘In Service – feedback from operations’).
Use of these KPIs should support harmonization and reduction of customization of these KPIs between the entity establishing them and its different internal and external customers.
Each KPI is listed on a single page and provides the following information: KPI Name; KPI Abbreviation; KPI Description; KPI Formula; KPI Unit of measure; and Detailed explanations.
This guidance provides an understanding of Variation Sensitivity Analysis (VSA). It is the study of how the variation in the output of a model or system can be attributed to the variation of its inputs.
With an understanding that different sources of variation that combine to create an attribute have different levels of effect on the outcome of that attribute; a VSA returns value by discovering those differences. VSA determines which sources of variation have the greatest influence on the model and how to optimize tolerances to improve quality and reduce costs.
IAQG Standard 9145 applies Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) to the Aerospace industry. IAQG Standard 9145 introduces the concept of Design Risk Analysis (DRA) as an APQP deliverable. This guidance provides clarification of DRA and how an organization can apply DRA to a product design.
