Aerospace series - Quality systems - First Article Inspection Requirement

1.1 This document establishes the requirements for performing and documenting FAI. It is emphasized that the requirements specified in this document are complementary (not alternative) to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
If there is a conflict between the requirements of this document, and customer or applicable statutory/regulatory requirements, the latter takes precedence.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
-   "shall" indicates a requirement;
-   "should" indicates a recommendation;
-   "may" indicates a permission;
-   "can" indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked as "NOTE" is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
1.2 Purpose
The primary purpose of FAI is to verify and validate product realization processes capable of producing characteristics that meet engineering and design requirements. A FAI is not a product acceptance document. A well-planned and executed FAI by a multi-disciplinary team (e.g., members from responsible functions) provides objective evidence the manufacturer’s processes can produce compliant product, having effectively understood and incorporated the associated requirements.
NOTE    While interrelated, FAI and product acceptance are separate activities. FAI focus is verification of production processes via assessment of product. FAI and supporting documentation do not provide assurance regarding conformance for product acceptance purposes; neither does the lack of a FAI necessarily imply that the product is nonconforming to engineering and design requirements.
FAI will:
-   provide confidence that the product realization processes are capable of producing conforming product;
-   demonstrate that the manufacturers and processors of the product have an understanding of the associated requirements;
-   provide objective evidence of process capability;
-   mitigate risk associated with production startup and/or process changes;
-   provide assurance of product conformance at the start of production and after changes, as outlined in this document.
A FAI is intended to:
-   reduce future escapes, risks, and total costs;
-   help ensure product safety;
-   improve quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction;
-   reduce costs and production delays associated with product nonconformances;
-   identify product realization processes not capable of producing conforming product, and initiate and/or validate associated corrective actions.
1.3 Application
This document applies to organizations and sub-tiers responsible for product realization processes that produce the design characteristics of the product. The organization shall flow down the requirements of this document to suppliers who produce design characteristics.
This document applies to external suppliers performing special processes. A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) provided by processors attests to satisfying the specification requirements of the applicable design authority. External suppliers providing special processes can satisfy this document’s requirements by either:
-   documenting the design characteristics and associated results on a FAI;
-   documenting the design characteristics and associated results on a customer-defined detailed CoC.
This document applies to assemblies, sub-assemblies, and detail parts including castings, forgings, and modifications to document catalogue or Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) items. Each of these items requires a stand-alone FAI.
Unless contractually required, this document does not apply to:
-   development and prototype parts that are not considered as part of the first production run;
-   procured standard catalogue items, COTS, or deliverable software. These items shall be documented in the index of part numbers in an assembly First Article Inspection Report (FAIR).

Le présent document établit les exigences pour réaliser et documenter la FAI. Il est à souligner que les exigences spécifiées dans le présent document viennent compléter (sans les remplacer) les exigences du client et les exigences légales et réglementaires applicables.
S'il existe un conflit entre les exigences du présent document et les exigences du client ou les exigences légales/réglementaires applicables, ce sont ces dernières qui prévalent.
Dans le présent document, les formes verbales suivantes sont utilisées :
•   « doit/devoir » indique une exigence ;
•   « il convient de/il convient que » indique une recommandation ;
•   « peut » dans le sens de « il est permis, il est admis » (« may » en anglais) indique une autorisation ;
•   « peut » dans le sens de « est susceptible, capable, en mesure de » (« can » en anglais) indique une possibilité ou une capacité.
Les informations sous forme de « NOTE » sont fournies pour clarifier l'exigence associée ou en faciliter la compréhension.
1.2   Objet
L'objet principal de la FAI est de vérifier et de valider les procédés de réalisation du produit à même de produire des caractéristiques qui satisfont aux exigences d'ingénierie et de conception. Une FAI n'est pas un document d'acceptation d'un produit. Une FAI bien planifiée et effectuée par une équipe pluridisciplinaire (par exemple : dont les membres occupent des fonctions à responsabilité) apporte les preuves objectives que les procédés du fabricant permettent de produire des produits conformes, pour autant que les exigences associées aient été bien comprises et incluses à la FAI.
NOTE   Si elles sont interdépendantes, la FAI et l'acceptation d'un produit sont toutefois des activités distinctes. La FAI a pour objectif de vérifier les procédés de production via l'évaluation du produit. La FAI et la documentation associée ne fournissent aucune garantie quant à la conformité en vue de l'acceptation d'un produit. L'absence de FAI n'implique pas que le produit n'est pas conforme aux exigences d'ingénierie et de conception.
La FAI :
•   donne confiance dans la capacité des procédés de réalisation du produit à fournir un produit conforme ;
•   démontre que les fabricants et les transformateurs du produit comprennent les exigences associées ;
•   fournit les preuves objectives des capacités du procédé ;
•   réduit les risques associés au lancement de la production et/ou aux modifications de procédé ;
•   garantit la conformité du produit au début de la production et après les changements, comme décrit dans le présent document.
Une FAI est destinée à :
•   réduire les dérives, les risques et les coûts totaux futurs ;
•   garantir la sécurité du produit ;
•   améliorer la qualité, la livraison et la satisfaction client ;

Introduction
To assure customer satisfaction, the aviation, space, and defence industry organizations must produce
and continually improve safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory
requirements. The globalization of the industry and the resulting diversity of regional/national
requirements and expectations have complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the
challenge of assuring the quality and integration of products purchased from suppliers throughout the
world and at all levels of the supply chain. Industry suppliers face the challenge of delivering products to
multiple customers having varying quality requirements and expectations.
The aviation, space, and defence industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)
for the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality, delivery, safety, and reductions in cost
throughout the value stream. This organization includes representation from companies in the Americas,
Asia/Pacific, and Europe.
This document standardizes FAI process requirements to the greatest extent possible. While primarily
developed for the aviation, space, and defence industry, this document can also be used in other industry
sectors where a standardized FAI process is needed.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This document establishes the requirements for performing and documenting FAI. It is emphasized that
the requirements specified in this document are complementary (not alternative) to customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
If there is a conflict between the requirements of this document, and customer or applicable
statutory/regulatory requirements, the latter takes precedence.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
• “shall” indicates a requirement;
• “should” indicates a recommendation;
• “may” indicates a permission;
• “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked as “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
1.2 Purpose
The primary purpose of FAI is to verify and validate product realization processes capable of producing
characteristics that meet engineering and design requirements. A FAI is not a product acceptance
document. A well-planned and executed FAI by a multi-disciplinary team (e.g., members from responsible
functions) provides objective evidence the manufacturer’s processes can produce compliant product,
having effectively understood and incorporated the associated requirements.
NOTE While interrelated, FAI and product acceptance are separate activities. FAI focus is verification of
production processes via assessment of product. FAI and supporting documentation do not provide assurance
regarding conformance for product acceptance purposes; neither does the lack of a FAI necessarily imply that the
product is nonconforming to engineering and design requirements.
FAI will:
• provide confidence that the product realization processes are capable of producing conforming
product;
• demonstrate that the manufacturers and processors of the product have an understanding of the
associated requirements;
• provide objective evidence of process capability;
• mitigate risk associated with production startup and/or process changes;
• provide assurance of product conformance at the start of production and after changes, as outlined
in this document.
A FAI is intended to:
• reduce future escapes, risks, and total costs;
• help ensure product safety;
• improve quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction;

4 Requirements
4.1 First Article Inspection planning
a. The organization shall have a documented process to plan for FAI. This process shall identify the
responsible functions and address the activities to be performed, prior to the first production run.
b. The organization shall verify the revision for embedded or deliverable software as defined by the Bill
of Materials (BOM), drawing/DPD, specification, or purchase order requirements.
c. The organization shall consider the following activities, as applicable to the product, during FAI
planning and, if required by contract, coordinate planning with the customer:
1. determine design characteristic inspection and sequencing for inspection of characteristics not
measurable in the final product and provisions to carry out those activities at the appropriate
stage of the manufacturing process;
2. evaluate DPD design characteristics required for product realization which are not fully defined
on 2D drawings, including tolerances for nominal dimensions;
3. determine the required objective evidence to be included in the FAIR for each design
characteristic, including supporting documentation;
NOTE This includes bubbled or ballooned document(s), and may also include certifications, inspection
reports, test reports, manufacturing plans, purchase orders, etc.
4. identify the approved special process, laboratory, material, and customer required sources, as
applicable, and confirm the manufacturing planning, routing, and purchase document calls out
the correct specification and relevant sources;
5. identify key characteristic and critical item requirements, as applicable (see IAQG standards
EN 9100 and EN 9103 for supporting guidance/direction);
6. determine suitable monitoring and measuring equipment of appropriate resolution and
accuracy, including any part specific gauges and tooling. These gauges and tooling are identified,
qualified, and traceable, as appropriate;
NOTE Metrology principles (e.g. calibration ratio, measurement uncertainty) are taken into consideration
when selecting a tool.
7. coordinate customer FAI review(s) at any stage;
8. identify events requiring an updated FAI (see section 4.6).
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 9102:2022
prEN 9102:2022 (E)
d. The organization shall verify FAI planning activities have been completed.
4.2 Part requirements
a. The organization shall perform a FAI on new product representative of the first production run. The
first production product delivery requires a FAI.
b. The organization shall use a representative item(s) from the first production run of a new product to
verify that the production processes, production documentation, and tooling have the ability to
produce products that meet established requirements.
c. For assemblies, the assembly level FAI shall be performed on those characteristics specified on the
assembly drawing or DPD.
Detail part characteristics created or modified during assembly may be accounted for at the assembly
level FAI, all other detail part characteristics shall be accounted for on the detail part FAI.
4.3 Digital product definition requirements
a. When design requirements are in a DPD format and traditional 2D drawing information is not
available for all applicable design requirements, DPD design characteristics required for product
realization shall be extracted, verified, and included in the FAIR.
b. The organization shall:
1. establish a process to extract the applicable DPD design characteristics;
2. extract the DPD design characteristics required for product realization;
3. ensure the production, inspection, and operations requiring verification have been completed as
planned to achieve DPD design characteristics.
NOTE For additional guidance, refer to ASME Y14.41 and/or ISO 16792.
4.4 Nonconformance handling
a. When processing a FAIR with documented nonconformances:
1. record the nonconforming design characteristics on Form 3, “Characteristic Accountability,
Verification, and Compatibility Evaluation”;
2. record the nonconformance document reference number on Form 3 (see field 11);
3. check the “Yes” box on Form 1 [see field 25 — “Does FAIR Contain a Documented
Nonconformance(s)”].
NOTE: This document does not address disposition of the nonconformance.
b. The organization shall implement corrective action(s) to correct the product realization process until
it delivers the intended output (conforming design characteristics). This process may be subject to
multiple iterations and needs to be managed through the organization’s quality management system
within the context of the corrective action process.
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 9102:2022
prEN 9102:2022 (E)
c. Upon implemented corrective action, the organization shall conduct a partial/full FAI, and at a
minimum document the corrected nonconforming characteristics and any other characteristics
affected by the corrective action.
d. Once all nonconformances have been corrected, check the “No” box on Form 1 [see field 25 — “Does
FAIR Contain a Documented Nonconformance(s)”].
A full FAI may be performed in lieu of a partial FAI (see 4.6).
4.5 Evaluation activities
The organization shall conduct the following activities during product realization in support of FAI to
ensure conformance with design characteristics:
a. review documentation for the manufacturing process (e.g, routing sheets, risk analysis,
manufacturing or quality plans, manufacturing work instructions) to ensure all operations are
complete as planned and call out the correct specification, material types, conditions, and approvals;
b. review supporting documentation for completeness;
c. verify the raw material and special process certifications (e.g. special process completion
certification, raw material test report number, modified standard catalogue item compliance report
number, traceability number) call out the correct specification, material types, conditions, and
approvals;
d. verify that required customer approved sources are utilized (e.g. directed source, approved suppliers
list);
e. review nonconformance documentation for completeness;
f. verify that required designed tooling (e.g. part specific gauges) is used;
g. verify that every design characteristic requirement, as required per section 4.3 b., is accounted for,
uniquely identified, and has inspection results traceable to each unique identifier (e.g. ballooned
design characteristic);
h. verify the design characteristics resulting from the output of the manufacturing process are
measured, inspected, tested, or verified to determine conformance, including DPD characteristics as
required per section 4.3 b.;
i. verify part marking has met defined requirements, such as legibility (i.e. human/machine readable),
method, material, content, size, and location.
