EN 16602-20:2014

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 (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
