PD IEC/TS 62564-1:2016

This standard PD IEC/TS 62564-1:2016 Process management for avionics. Aerospace qualified electronic components (AQEC) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 31.020 Electronic components in general
• 03.100.50 Production. Production management
• 49.060 Aerospace electric equipment and systems

This part of IEC 62564 , which is a Technical Specification, defines the minimum requirements for integrated circuits and semiconductors which are designated as an “aerospace qualified electronic component (AQEC)” . It applies to integrated circuits and semiconductors exhibiting the following attributes:

1. a minimum set of requirements, or information provided by the part manufacturer, which will allow a standard COTS component to be designated AQEC by the manufacturer;

2. as a minimum, each COTS component (designated AQEC) will have been designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested in accordance with the component manufacturer’s requirements for standard data book components;

3. qualification of, and quality systems for, the COTS components to be designated as AQEC should include the manufacturer’s standards, operating procedures, and technical specifications. This information should be available when requested;

4. components manufactured before the manufacturer has addressed AQEC requirements, but utilizing the same processes, are also considered AQEC compliant;

5. additional desired attributes of a device designated AQEC (that will support AQEC users) are found in Annex B of this technical specification.

Parts qualified to AEC‑Q100 , grade 0 through to grade 3 are considered AQEC. For those applications where a 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range is appropriate, grade 4 is also considered to be AQEC. The users should document that the grade category used is compatible with the application in accordance with their IEC TS 62239‑1 electronic components management plan (ECMP).
