The (ISO) 9000 Series Standards and their ASQ [3] equivalents are used to audit and evaluate a contractor's quality program. Within these standards there are broadly stated requirements that are met if the contractor has an adequate Configuration Management program implemented using the principles in EIA-649. Of particular importance are the following clauses within each of the ISO and ASQ documents:
Design Control;
Document and Data Control;
Product Identification and Traceability;
Control of Nonconforming Product.
ISO-10007 "Quality management Guidelines for configuration management," provides broad general guidelines that can easily...
