14、ent (EN 9131:2009) has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN). After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has received the approval of the National Associations and the Offici
15、al Services of the member countries of ASD, prior to its presentation to CEN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
16、 the latest by October 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the na
17、tional standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway
18、, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This standard was reviewed by the Domain Technical Coordinator of ASD-STANs Quality Domain. After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has re
19、ceived the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of ASD, prior to its presentation to CEN. This standard has been significantly revised further defining process requirements and data expectations; restructuring the nonconformity documentation data an
20、d providing further definition of data descriptions; and providing process defect, cause, and corrective action codes. This standard was created to provide for the uniform submittal of nonconformance information for notification and/or approval when contractually invoked at any level or as guidance
21、within the aviation, space, and defence industries. This standard can be invoked as a stand alone requirement or used in conjunction with AS/EN/JISQ series standards (i.e., 9100, 9110, 9120). To assure customer satisfaction, aerospace industry organizations must produce, and continually improve, saf
22、e, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory authority requirements. The globalization of the aerospace industry, and the resulting diversity of regional/national requirements and expectations, has complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the challenge of assuri
23、ng the quality of, and integrating, product purchased from suppliers throughout the world and at all levels within the supply chain. Aerospace suppliers and processors face the challenge of delivering product to multiple customers having varying quality expectations and requirements. The aerospace i
24、ndustry 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 aerospace companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and
25、 Europe. This document standardizes requirements for nonconformance data definition and documentation for the aerospace industry. The establishment of common requirements, for use at all levels of the supply-chain, by organizations, should result in improved quality and safety, and decreased costs,
26、due to the elimination or reduction of organization-unique requirements and the resultant variation inherent in these multiple expectations.

27、om IHS-,-,-BS EN 9131:2009EN 9131:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope 1.1 Application This standard defines the common nonconformance data definition and documentation that must be exchanged between an internal or external supplier or sub-tier supplier and the customer when informing about a nonconformity requiring
28、formal decision. The requirements are applicable - partly or totally - when reporting a product nonconformity to the owner or operator as user of the end item (e.g. engine, aircraft, spacecraft, helicopter etc.), if specified by contract. Reporting of nonconformance data, either electronically or co
29、nventionally on paper, is subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. This also includes, where applicable, data access under export control regulations. 1.2 Purpose The process of exchanging coordinating and approving nonconformance data via waiver/concession or product quality escape vari
30、es with the multiple relationships and agreements among all parties concerned. The information provided by this standard forms an architecture for submitting and managing data that allows for concise and accurate communication using various methods. The main objective of this standard is to provide
31、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). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only
32、 the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems Fundamentals and vocabulary. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in I
33、SO 9000 and the following apply. 3.1 customer recipient of a product provided by an internal/external supplier or subcontractor 3.2 mandatory common and transferable data systematically filled in and provided The data field must be printed out on the paper form. 3.3 optional all data fields that are
34、 not defined as mandatory by this standard These fields may be requested by a customer or need by the originator for their own purposes. 3.4 product any vehicle, engine, equipment, component, deliverable software or parts and materials thereof Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provide

36、ming to contract and/or product specification requirements 3.6 waiver/concession: written authorization from the customer to the internal or external supplier to use or release a product which does not conform to the specified requirements NOTE Waiver/concession and product quality escape differ wit
37、h respect to the point in time when a nonconformance is detected during the product life cyle. Waiver/concession is evident before delivery to the customer, while a product quality escape is identified after delivery to the customer. 4 Requirements 4.1 Data related to the description of a nonconform
38、ity (i.e., content, format, size) shall be in accordance with the complete set defined in Annex A, “List of nonconformance documentation” and with the contractual requirements. a) Mandatory data fields, identified in bold text and marked with an asterisk (*) shall be systematically recorded and repo
39、rted to the customer. b) Optional data fields shall be recorded when required by contractor due to originators needs provided that it is not in contradiction with contractual requirements. NOTE 1 For any data field, whether mandatory or optional, recorded and reported to the customer that is not app
40、licable shall have N/A entered in the field, prior to final approval/signature. NOTE 2 Customers may require different optional data fields be recorded and reported. It is therefore recommended to ensure the Information Technology System is capable of modifying the optional data fields and inactivat
41、ing those not being used to be able to fulfil new customers requirements and where existing customers change their requirements. This contains also the capability of the Information Technology System to process with data types and data sizes specified in this standard. 4.2 The entities responsible f
42、or entering and approving/acknowledging nonconformance data - in particular disposition, category of the non-conformity and associated limitation - shall respond in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract or regulatory requirements. 4.3 Attached files shall be in a protected format
43、(e.g., pdf, tif, jpg). Formats which can be easily changed (e.g., doc, xls, ppt) should be avoided. In such cases, appropriate precautions shall be taken to prevent inadvertent changes to the document. 4.4 Some data systems actually impose file-size constraints (e.g., maximum 500 kbyte). Due to the
44、fact that pictures, tables, etc. occupy large amounts of electronic memory space, a “file optimization tool” (e.g., number of dpi, appropriate compressed format) shall be used to minimize the size of attached files. 4.5 When the description of a nonconformity is not required in an electronic format
45、and/or is required as a printout, it shall be in a format similar to the example depicted in Annex B, “Form layout example”. However, the size and order of the fields may be changed to suit the individual application provided that: a) The contents of the boxes specified in this standard are maintain
46、ed; alternatively a cross reference can be used. b) The form identified as a nonconformance data description. c) Complies with contractual/regulatory requirements.
