(Main)Aerospace series - Certificate of conformity requirements
Aerospace series - Certificate of conformity requirements
This document provides a harmonized process and documentation requirements for the establishment of CoCs used to attest the conformity of aviation, space, and defence products (e.g. assemblies, sub-assemblies, equipment and systems, parts, material, software) or services. It includes a CoC template and supporting instructions on how to complete it.
When quoted by the customer in a contractual requirement, application of this document is mandatory. In other cases, its use is recommended, but if there is a conflict between the requirements of this document and customer or applicable statutory/regulatory requirements, the latter take precedence.
This document can be used by other industries that require the use/application of a CoC.
Requirements for the establishment of Authorized Release Certificates (ARCs) [e.g. European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Form 1, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 8130-3 tag, Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Form 038] by an external provider holding a production approval (for new aviation products, production, or spares) or maintenance approval (i.e. for in service repairs, modifications, after sales maintenance, overhaul activities, inspections) are not covered by this document, as applicable rules are defined by the aviation authorities having granted these approvals.
Luft- und Raumfahrt - Anforderungen an die Konformitätsbescheinigung
Série aérospatiale - Exigences relatives au certificat de conformité
Le présent document fournit un processus harmonisé et des exigences de documentation pour l’établissement de CC utilisés pour attester de la conformité des produits (par exemple : ensembles, sous-ensembles, équipements et systèmes, pièces, matériaux, logiciels) ou services de l’industrie aéronautique, spatiale et de défense. Il inclut un modèle de CC et des instructions d’aide à son remplissage.
Lorsque ce document est mentionné par le client dans une exigence contractuelle, son application est obligatoire. Dans les autres cas, son utilisation est recommandée, mais s’il existe un conflit entre les exigences du présent document et les exigences du client ou légales/réglementaires, ce sont ces dernières qui prévalent.
Le présent document peut être utilisé par d’autres industries qui exigent l’utilisation/l’application d’un CC.
Les exigences pour l’établissement de certificats d'autorisation de mise en service (ARC) [par exemple : formulaire 1 de l’Agence Européenne de la Sécurité Aérienne (EASA), formulaire 8130-3 de la Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), formulaire 038 de la Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC)] par un prestataire externe détenteur d’un agrément de production (pour les produits aéronautiques neufs ou de rechange) ou d’un agrément de maintenance (à savoir pour : réparations en service, modifications, maintenance après-vente, activités de révision, contrôles) ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document, étant donné que les règles applicables sont définies par les autorités aéronautiques qui ont accordé ces agréments.

Introduction
Aviation, space, and defence organizations (customers) throughout the world receive products (e.g.
assemblies, sub-assemblies, equipment and systems, parts, material) or services that are produced by
other external providers (suppliers).
Before using these products or services to either manufacture their own products or integrate them into
their own products, these organizations need confirmation from their external providers that these
products comply with the relevant design data and purchase order (PO) requirements. This is commonly
done via an attestation [i.e. Certificate of Conformance (CoC)] from the external provider.
Due to the high number of organizations and external providers, this can result in multiple CoC templates
and associated requirements. The objective of this document is to provide requirements for issuing a CoC,
harmonizing its content to satisfy a broad range of organizations and external providers, and providing
consistent process and documentation requirements for verification of aviation, space, and defence
products.
Industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), with representatives from
aviation, space, and defence companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe, to implement
initiatives that make significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value
stream. The IAQG benchmarked industry best practices and supporting guidance to develop this
document to satisfy associated requirements of Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS)
standards (i.e. EN 9100, EN 9110, EN 9120).

1 Scope
This document provides a harmonized process and documentation requirements for the establishment
of Certificates of Conformance (CoCs) used to attest the conformity of aviation, space, and defence
products (e.g. assemblies, sub-assemblies, equipment and systems, parts, material) or services). It
includes a CoC template and supporting instructions on how to complete it.
When quoted by the customer in a contractual requirement, application of this document is mandatory.
In other cases, its use is recommended, but if there is a conflict between the requirements of this
document and customer or applicable statutory/regulatory requirements, the latter take precedence.
Requirements for the establishment of Authorized Release Certificates (ARCs) [e.g. European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Form 1, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 8130-3 tag] by an external
provider holding a production approval (for new aviation products; production or spares) or
maintenance approval (i.e. for in service repairs, modifications, after sales maintenance, overhaul
activities, inspections) are not covered by this document, as applicable rules are defined by the aviation
authorities having granted these approvals.
