B.1 Relation to Other Industry Standards

EIA-649 is compatible with:

• EIA-632, "Processes for Engineering a System";

• IEEE ^[1] /EIA 12207.0, "Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207: 1995 (ISO/IEC 12207) Standard for information Technology - Software Life Cycle Processes Description";

• IEEE /EIA 12207.1, "Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207: 1995 (ISO/IEC 12207) Standard for information Technology - Software Life Cycle Processes- Life Cycle Data";

• IEEE /EIA 12207.2, "Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207: 1995 (ISO/IEC 12207) Standard for information Technology - Software Life Cycle Processes Implementation Considerations";

• EIA-836 Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability;

• EIA-859 Industry/Government Consensus Standard for Performance Based Data Management; and

• The ASME ^[2]-Y14 series of standards that relate to engineering drawing and CAD modeling practices.

B.2 Relation to ISO 9000 and 10000 Series Quality Program Standards

• 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...
