(Main)Aerospace Series - Supplier Notice of Change (NOC)
Aerospace Series - Supplier Notice of Change (NOC)
1 Scope
1.1 General
The aviation, space, and defence industries rely on the development and manufacture of complex products comprised of multiple systems, subsystems, and components each designed by individual designers (design activities) at various levels within the supply chain. Each design or manufacturing activity controls various aspects of the configuration and specifications related to the product. When a change to design or process is requested or required, the change is typically required to be evaluated against the impacts to the entire system.
Proposed changes to design data/information that the design activity identifies to be minor and have no effect on the product requirements or specifications, have the potential to be implemented and approved, where authorized to do so, but requires notification. Changes that affect customer mandated requirements or specifications shall be approved prior to implementation. In many cases, the design activity is not conducted by the DAH or design authority. The design activity may be several layers below the design approval. Irrespective of where the design activity is conducted in the supply chain, notification is required. The typical change notification flow is presented in Figure 1.
[Figure 1]
Submitting NOC data either electronically or conventionally on paper is subject to the terms and conditions of the customer’s contract. This also includes, where applicable, data access under the regulations of export control.
The process of exchanging, coordinating, and approving NOC data varies with the multiple relationships and agreements among all organizations concerned. An objective of this document is to provide the definition of a data set that can be integrated into any form of communication (e.g. electronic data interchange, submission of conventional paper forms). A sample form can be found in the Supply Chain Management Handbook (SCMH).
If all or part of this document is contractually invoked, design organizations and design holders (i.e. the organization responsible for the product end item design) that have responsibility for change management of products used on other higher-level designs shall use the information and processes defined in this document for submitting change notifications.
1.2 Application
This document defines the common NOC requirements for aviation, space, and defence organizations. The requirements that a design organization are to use when submitting a NOC to the customer for either change authorization or notification are included herein. A NOC informs the customer of physical or functional (e.g. design, material, software, maintenance) changes or any associated process changes to an established baseline configuration.
Retention of the NOC establishes a means of configuration control and captures the evolution of the part. This requirement is of utmost importance in commercial/civil aviation products where changes to type certificated products are mandated by regulations; however, these same concepts are also required in defence and space applications per contractual requirements.
Where there are changes to items which the organization does not have design input or is not permitted to make any changes to the design [e.g. build to print, Technical Standard Order (TSO) articles] then change requests are to be formally submitted to the customer and approved via the customer’s change request process.

Série aérospatiale - Avis de modification (NOC) du fournisseur
1.1 Généralités
Les industries aéronautique, spatiale et de la défense reposent sur le développement et la fabrication de produits complexes constitués de nombreux systèmes, sous-systèmes, et composants, chacun issu de concepteurs individuels (activités de conception) à plusieurs niveaux de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Chaque activité de conception ou de fabrication maîtrise plusieurs aspects de la configuration et des spécifications liées au produit. Quand une modification de conception ou de processus est demandée ou exigée, la modification doit généralement être évaluée en fonction de ses impacts sur la totalité du système.
Les demandes de modifications des informations de conception que l’activité de conception identifie comme mineures et sans effet sur les exigences ou spécifications de leur produit peuvent être mises en œuvre et approuvées, lorsque cela est autorisé, mais requièrent une notification. Les modifications qui affectent les exigences ou les spécifications client doivent être approuvées avant leur mise en œuvre. Dans de nombreux cas, l'activité de conception n'est pas conduite par le DAH ou l'autorité de conception. L'activité de conception peut parfois se trouver plusieurs niveaux au-dessous de l'agrément de conception. Quel que soit le fournisseur au sein de la chaîne d'approvisionnement, la notification est obligatoire. Le flux de notification type est présenté à la Figure 1.

European foreword
This document (prEN 9116:2022) has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries
Association of Europe — Standardization (ASD-STAN).
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this document has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
ASD-STAN, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This document will supersede EN 9116:2015.

0 Introduction
0.1 Rationale
This document was created to define the process requirements and data expectations for the
submission of proposed changes in design and manufacturing information that requires approval of the
Design Approval Holder (DAH), when the DAH is different from the design activity. This document
provides for the organisational requirements, definitions, and data submission, including suggested
data descriptions and format (paper or electronic submission).
This revision to the document provides updated information and improves the writing clarity to
facilitate uniform submittal of supplier change notifications and/or approval when contractually
invoked at any level, including sub-tier suppliers, or as guidance within the aviation, space, and defence
industries. This document can be invoked as a stand-alone requirement or used in conjunction with
9100-series standards (i.e. 9100, 9110, 9120).
0.2 Introduction
To ensure customer satisfaction, aviation, space, and defence industry organisations needs to provide
and continually improve, safe and reliable products and services that meet or exceed customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory authority requirements. The globalization of the industry and the
resulting diversity of regional and national requirements and expectations have complicated this
objective. Organisations have the challenge of purchasing products and services from external
providers throughout the world and at all levels within the supply chain. External providers have the
challenge of delivering products and services to multiple customers with varying quality expectations
and requirements.
Industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), with representatives from
aviation, space and defence companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe, to implement
initiatives that make significant improvement in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value
stream. This international standard has been prepared by the IAQG.
This document identifies requirements for design change management and/or manufacturing process
change to a previously approved product design (baseline configuration) of the product. This includes
requirements for supplier Notice of Change (NOC) data definition and documentation for the aviation,
space, and defence industries. The establishment of common requirements for use at all levels of the
supply-chain is intended to improve quality, safety, and decrease costs by the elimination or reduction
of organization-unique requirements and the resultant variation inherent in these multiple
expectations. This document can be invoked as a stand-alone requirement or used in conjunction with
IAQG 9100-series standards (i.e. 9100, 9110, 9120).

submitting a NOC to the customer for either change authorization or notification. A NOC informs the
customer of physical or functional (e.g. design, material, software) changes or any associated process
changes to an established baseline configuration.
