EN 14607 Part 6 of Space engineering - Mechanical defines the requirements for the discipline of pyrotechnics engineering.
This part defines the standards to be applied for the use of pyrotechnics on all spacecraft and other space products including launch vehicles. It addresses the aspects of design, analysis, verification, manufacturing, operations and safety.
As any pyrotechnic item used for flight can function only once, it can never be fully tested before its crucial mission operation. The required confidence can only be established indirectly by the testing of identical items. Test results and theoretical justification are essential for demonstration of fulfilment of the requirements. The requirement for repeatability shows that product assurance plays a crucial role in support of technical aspects.
The failure or unintentional operation of a pyrotechnic item can be catastrophic for the whole mission and life threatening. Specific requirements can exist for the items associated with it. As all pyrotechnic functions are to be treated similarly, collective control needs to be applied in the manner of a subsystem.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this document should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
NOTE   Tailoring is a process by which individual requirements of specifications, standards and related documents are evaluated, and made applicable to a specific project by selection, and in some exceptional cases, modification of existing or addition of new requirements.

ISO 14620-1:2002 defines the safety programme and the technical safety requirements that are implemented in order to comply with the safety policy as defined in ISO 14300-2. It is intended to protect flight and ground personnel, the launch vehicle, associated payloads, ground support equipment, the general public, public and private property, and the environment from hazards associated with space systems. Launch site operations are described by ISO 14620-2.
The safety policy is applied by implementing a system safety programme, supported by risk assessment, which can be summarized as follows: hazardous characteristics (system and environmental hazards) and functions with potentially hazardous failure effects are identified and progressively evaluated by iteratively performing systematic safety analyses; the potential hazardous consequences associated with the system characteristics and functional failures are subjected to a hazard reduction sequence whereby hazards are eliminated from the system design and operations, hazards are minimized, and hazard controls are applied and verified; the risks that remain after the application of a hazard elimination and reduction process are progressively assessed and subjected to risk assessment, in order to show compliance with safety targets, support design trades, identify and rank risk contributors, support apportionment of project resources for risk reduction, assess risk reduction progress, and support the safety and project decision-making process (e.g. waiver approval, residual risk acceptance); the adequacy of the hazard and risk control measures applied are formally verified in order to support safety validation and risk acceptance; safety compliance is assessed by the project and safety approval obtained from the relevant authorities.
ISO 14620-1:2002 is applicable to all space projects where during any project phase there exists the potential for hazards to personnel or the general public, space flight systems, ground support equipment, facilities, public or private property, or the environment.
The imposition of these requirements on the project suppliers' activities requires that the customer's project product assurance and safety organization also respond to these requirements in a manner which is commensurate with the project's safety criticality.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific programme or project context, the requirements defined in ISO 14620-1:2002 should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a programme or project.

This European Standard sets forth the criteria to be used in the selection of materials for spacecraft and associated equipment and facilities so that failure resulting from stress-corrosion is prevented.
Three categories of materials are listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of this Standard. They represent metal alloys with a high, moderate and low resistance to stress-corrosion cracking.
The stress-corrosion susceptibility of alloys included in this Standard was determined at ambient temperature
-   by means of laboratory tests in which specimens were either sprayed with salt water or periodically immersed and withdrawn;
-   by exposing specimens in sea coast or mild industrial environments;
-   by subjecting fabricated hardware to service conditions.
Use of the criteria established herein should, therefore, be limited to designs for service involving similar exposure conditions.
Weldments present a special problem in designing for resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. In addition to the susceptibility of the parent metals, it is also necessary to consider the filler metal and the microstructural effects of heat introduced by the welding operations and subsequent heat treatments. Because of the additional variables that shall be considered, susceptibility data are not as extensive for weldments as for alloys in mill form. Design criteria for weldments in this Standard are limited to aluminium alloys, selected stainless steels in the 300 series and other specific alloys listed in Table 1.
This Standard is intended to provide general criteria to be used in designing for resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Specific test data and other detailed information are not included.

This European Standard defines the space software engineering process and its interfaces with the space project management standards (EN 13290) and space product assurance standards (EN 13291) and explains how they apply in the software engineering process.
This Standard is applicable to all the elements of a space system, including the space segment, the launch service segment and the ground segment.
This Standard covers all aspects of space software engineering including requirements definition, design, production, verification and validation, and transfer, operations and maintenance.
The scope of this Standard is the software developed as part of a space project, i.e. "Space system product software". It is not intended to cover software developments out of scope with the system of space standards. An example is the development of commercial software packages, where software is developed for a (large) volume market and not just for a single customer, and the main requirement analysis consists of market analysis, combined with a marketing strategy.
Other classes of software products not covered are: management information systems (e.g. finance, planning), technical information systems (e.g. CAD/CAM, analysis packages) and supporting software products for documentation systems, database systems, spread­sheets. These usually result from the procurement or adaptation of existing commercial products, and not part of the space system development. Such software products are, however, often part of a supporting infrastructure for space systems.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this Standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.

ISO 17666:2003 extends the requirements of ISO 14300-1, the principles and requirements for integrated risk management on a space project. It explains what is needed to implement a project-integrated risk management policy by any project actor, at any level (i.e. customer, first-level supplier, or lower-level suppliers).
ISO 17666:2003 contains a summary of the general risk management process, which is subdivided into four (4) basic steps and nine (9) tasks. The implementation can be tailored to project-specific conditions.
The risk management process requires information exchange among all project domains and provides visibility over risks, with a ranking according to their criticality for the project. These risks are monitored and controlled according to the rules defined for the domains to which they belong.
ISO 17666:2003 is applicable to all space project phases, as defined in ISO 14300-1.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific programme or project context, the requirements defined in ISO 17666:2003 should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a programme or project.

This European Standard provides means for identifying and structuring all of the activities and information required in a project review. It identifies the information outputs and follow­up activities necessary to complete the review process. It also provides a check­list of activities and information required for each of the major project reviews identified in the European space management standards.
This standard does not prescribe a particular review procedure or organizational structure to be applied, in order to respect the customer's own rules and regulations.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
NOTE   Tailoring is a process by which individual requirements of specifications, standards and related documents are evaluated and made applicable to a specific project by selection, and in some exceptional cases, modification of existing or addition of new requirements.
