Space engineering - Verification guidelines
This handbook provides additional information for the application of the verification standard EN 16603-10-02 to a space system product.
This handbook does not contain requirements and therefore cannot be made applicable. In case of conflict betw een the standard and this handbook, the standard prevails.
This handbook is relevant for both the customer and the supplier of the product during all project phases.
To facilitate the cross-reference, this handbook follow s as much as is practical, the structure of the standard and quotes the requirements, to make itself standing and easier to read (the text from the standard is in italic).
As the Standard applies to different products at different product levels from single equipment to the overall system (including space segment hardw are and softw are, launchers and Transportation Systems, ground segment, Verification tools, and GSE) several examples of tailoring, to match the specificity of each application, are proposed in Annex B.
Specific discipline related verification aspects are covered in other dedicated standards and handbooks. In particular the detailed aspects for Testing are covered in the EN 16603-10-03 and in its corresponding handbook.
The application of the requirements of the standard to a particular project is intended to result in effective product
verification and consequently to a high confidence in achieving successful product operations for the intended use, in this respect this handbook has the goal to help reaching these objectives.

European Foreword
This document (CEN/CLC/TR 17603-10-02:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/CLC/JTC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
It is highlighted that this technical report does not contain any requirement but only collection of data
or descriptions and guidelines about how to organize and perform the work in support of EN 16603-
10-02.
This Technical report CEN/CLC/(TR 17603-10-02:2021) originates from ECSS-E-HB-10-02A.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence
over any TR covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (e.g.: aerospace).
Scope
This handbook provides additional information for the application of the verification standard EN
16603-10-02 to a space system product.
This handbook does not contain requirements and therefore cannot be made applicable. In case of
conflict between the standard and this handbook, the standard prevails.
This handbook is relevant for both the customer and the supplier of the product during all project
phases.
To facilitate the cross-reference, this handbook follows as much as is practical, the structure of the
standard and quotes the requirements, to make it self standing and easier to read (the text from the
standard is in italic).
As the Standard applies to different products at different product levels from single equipment to the
overall system (including space segment hardware and software, launchers and Transportation
Systems, ground segment, Verification tools, and GSE) several examples of tailoring, to match the
specificity of each application, are proposed in Annex B.
Specific discipline related verification aspects are covered in other dedicated standards and
handbooks. In particular the detailed aspects for Testing are covered in the EN 16603-10-03 and in its
corresponding handbook TR 17603-10-03.
The application of the requirements of the standard to a particular project is intended to result in
effective product verification and consequently to a high confidence in achieving successful product
operations for the intended use, in this respect this handbook has the goal to help reaching these
objectives.
