4 Quality assurance
4.1 Approval of manufacturers
The manufacturer’s operations shall be an approved production organisation for aerospace products
and shall demonstrate that it has implemented and is able to maintain a quality management system
(e. g. according to EN 9100 or an equivalent aerospace accepted and established quality management

4.2 Qualification
The qualification procedure for aerospace standard products (e. g. according to EN 9133 or an
equivalent aerospace accepted and established qualification procedure) shall be used and documented
according to the specified tests if not otherwise agreed between customer and supplier.
Qualification inspections and tests (requirements, methods, numbers of thread inserts) are specified in
Table 1. They shall be carried out on
— each type and diameter of thread insert and
— 26 thread inserts selected from a single batch by simple random sampling.
The test programme may possibly be reduced, or the qualification be granted without inspection or
testing: any such decision shall be based on the results obtained on similar types and diameters of
thread inserts provided that the design and manufacturing conditions are identical.
