FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC TS 62564-1, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 107: Process management for avionics.

– 4 – IEC TS 62564-1:2016 © IEC 2016
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2011. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) IEC TS 62239 changed to IEC TS 62239-1, and IEC PAS 62686-1 changed to
IEC TS 62686-1;
b) JESD48 changed to J-STD-048 and added to the Bibliography;
c) AEC-Q100 revision G changed to AEC-Q100:2014 in 4.5 (which is now revision H);
d) revision of AEC-Q101 removed in Bibliography;
e) J-STD-609 for “Marking and labelling” added to the Bibliography;
f) information added regarding components' life expectancy in 4.2.5.
GEIA-STD-0002-001 (June 2006), Aerospace Qualified Electronic Component (AQEC)
Requirements, Volume 1 – Integrated Circuits and Semiconductors, has served as a basis for
the elaboration of this technical specification.
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
107/276/DTS 107/283/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62564 series, under the general title Process management for
avionics – Aerospace qualified electronic components (AQEC), can be found on the IEC
website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
Aerospace qualified electronic components (AQEC) plans are developed by manufacturers in
order to document compliance with AQEC requirements. For AQEC designated components,
the intention is to
a) provide AQEC users access to information from the AQEC manufacturers that is
necessary for using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products;
b) better enable AQEC users to assess whether these parts are capable of operating reliably
in their applications;
c) minimize deviations from the AQEC manufacturers’ COTS products;
d) have minimal impact on the AQEC manufacture
