DIN EN 9115:2013-03

Standard DIN EN 9115 standardizes, to the greatest extent possible, the software quality management system requirements for the aviation, space, and defense industry. This was accomplished through the harmonization of quality management system requirements from international aviation, space, and defense software standards and other applicable documents. The establishment of common requirements for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organizations around the world should result in improved quality, schedule, and cost performance by the reduction or elimination of organization unique requirements and wider application of good practice. This document supplements the EN 9100 standard requirements for deliverable software and contains quality management system requirements for organizations that design, develop, and/or produce deliverable software for the aviation, space, and defense industry. This includes, as required, support software that is used in the development and maintenance of deliverable software. The deliverable software may be stand-alone, embedded, or loadable into a target computer. This is the initial release of EN 9115, which is an international supplement to 9100 providing clarification of the corresponding EN 9100 requirements, as necessary, for deliverable software. In some cases, where clarification is needed, it was necessary due to the complexity of software to decompose "shall" statements in 9100 into more granular requirements. This standard EN 9115:2011 has been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section quality, for the IAQG sector Europe. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-05-01 AA "Grundlagen der Managementverfahren" ("Basic principles of management processes") of the Aerospace Standards Committee at DIN.
