Safety Management Systems (SMS) are becoming a mandated requirement for many commercial aviation design, production, and some maintenance approval holders. This guidance material for suppliers has two focus areas. One focus area is for suppliers who do not have a mandate to implement a full SMS but have product safety requirements within their IAQG 9100-series certifications and will be interfacing with organizations with an SMS. Another focus area is to provide guidance for organizations with an established Quality Management System (QMS) that either implement an SMS or interface with organizations that have an approved SMS. It provides useful guidance for leveraging existing QMS methods and tools to address SMS expectations.
