SIST EN 9133:2018
EN 9133:2018 (E)
Rationale
This document has undergone full technical revision to reflect improvements introduced to the product
qualification process and incorporate identified best practices since its initial release.
This document defines the process by which a manufacturer wishing to manufacture aviation, space,
and defence standard products may obtain qualification approval from the controlling Certification
Authority (CA). It defines the procedures to be followed by a manufacturer to request, carry out, obtain,
and maintain certification approval by confirming the manufactured products meet the minimum
technical and performance requirements defined by the product standard and controlling technical
specifications.
Foreword
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 authority
requirements. The globalization of the industry and the complexity of resulting organizations’ supply
chains have complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the challenge of assuring the
quality of, and integrating, product purchased from suppliers throughout the world and at all levels
within the supply chain. Furthermore, the aviation, space, and defence suppliers and processors, within
the industry, face the challenge of delivering product to multiple customers having varying quality
expectations and requirements.
The aviation, space, and defence industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)
for the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and safety, and reductions in cost,
throughout the value stream. This organization includes representation from aviation, space, and
defence companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe. This document defines the qualification of
standard products and should result in improved quality and safety, and decreased cost, due to the
standardization of this process.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This document defines a system for the qualification of standard products for aviation, space, and
defenc applications. It defines the principles that shall be adhered to when carrying out product
qualification; applied in conjunction with the rules and procedures of the CA. The system enables the CA
to confirm compliance is achieved and maintained, in accordance with the requirements of its product
definition and associated controlling technical specifications by an Original Component Manufacturer
(OCM) of standard products.
This document requires an OCM that has been granted product qualification approval to ensure
applicable approvals are maintained and renewed in accordance with the CA’s quality system for that
qualified product.
OCMs and OCM designated Value Added Distributors (VADs) requesting product qualification to this
standard, shall as a prerequisite, maintain EN 9100 standard quality management system certification
approval. This certification shall be visible in the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System
(OASIS) database.
1.2 Application
The application of this document will be mandated either in the product standard or its controlling
technical specifications. When invoked, the OCM wanting to produce aerospace standard products will
need to gain qualification approval from an aerospace CA. The processes defined herein will be
performed impartially for the benefit of the aerospace industry, by the CA, to ensure continued
compliance of standard products to the requirements defined in their controlling technical
specifications.
OCMs will need to ensure they allow sufficient lead-time to complete this process to gain product
approval from the CA to support/satisfy their customer delivery requirements. Qualified products using
this process shall not be supplied or used without qualification approval and a valid Product
Qualification Certificate (PQC) being granted.
