DIN EN 9114:2016-11

DIN EN 9114 provides guidance to approved manufacturers, their suppliers, and customers when an approved manufacturer requests a supplier to ship an article against the approved manufacturer’s purchase document directly to a customer, commonly known as "Direct Ship". The scope is limited to the aerospace industry, where an approved manufacturer contracts a supplier to deliver an item directly to a customer bypassing the approved manufacturer's quality system. The direct delivery process is not required for or applicable to standard parts or parts used by the military. Under this process, the approved manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the item conforms to the type design specifications. The establishment of common expectations, for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organisations, should result in improved quality and safety, and decreased costs, due to the elimination or reduction of organisation-unique requirements and the resultant variation inherent in these multiple expectations.
