ASD-STAN/D 1/WG 11 - System definition and realization

This document sets forth the general rules applying to the justification of the definition of a product (tangible or intangible) and specifies the content of the Definition Justification Plan (DJP) and the Definition Justification Dossier (DJD).
It is applicable to all products designed and developed to fulfil the requirements of a customer expressed in a (Need) Technical Specification. Industrials are advised to apply the following principles to their own needs for justification in their internal customer/supplier relations.
Clause 5 presents the concepts and the documents associated with the justification of the definition and qualification processes.
Clause 6 summarizes the role and the contractual nature of the qualification of the definition.
Clause 7 gives details of the qualification of the definition process, while Clause 8 positions this process in the programme development logic.
The document also describes the differences between the justification and the qualification of the definition and other notions, such as verification, validation or acceptance (Clause 9).
Clause 10 is a guide to the establishment and maintenance of the documents associated with the justification of the definition and qualification processes. Information related to the certification process, even if it is out of the scope of the present document, is also presented in Clause 10, because this process has certain similarities with the justification of the definition and qualification process.
This document belongs to the documents supporting the EN 9200 relating to Project Management Specification.

The aim of a MIF and the associated justifications is to ensure that manufacturing and/or inspection operations are realized in a compliant and reproducible manner.
The purpose of this document is to provide a guide to the elaboration of the MIF and the associated justifications by:
—   positioning them within the framework:
o   of a programme and its objectives, on the one hand;
o   of the realization of a product, on the other;
—   describing, until production of the product ceases:
o   the principles and conditions applying to the elaboration and then the validation of the MIF within the framework of the industrialization process;
o   the principles and conditions applying to the elaboration and then the validation of the MIJF associated with the MIF, within the framework of the industrialization process;
o   the principles and change and control conditions applying to the MIF and the MIJF.
This document can be used for all processes or sets of processes implemented on a tangible product, which may incorporate software associated with the product. It does not apply to purely software product, commercial-off-the-shelf product (catalogue part) or service (intangible product).
This document applies more particularly to serial production. Nevertheless, the principles and conditions set forth in this document may be applied, making any necessary adaptations, to unit production or to the realization of products to meet development needs (prototypes, demonstrators, etc.).
This document covers the MIF and the MIJF of a product, including the activities related to procurement and the associated industrial means in particular.
