European foreword
This document (EN 9145:2018) has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries
Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
ASD, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Rationale
This standard was created to define the aviation, space and defence process requirements for Advanced
Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). The APQP aspects of
this standard define a methodology for ensuring that the product development processes deployed
throughout the aviation, space and defence industries are fully integrated phased processes that extend
from concept and design through manufacturing process planning and execution and on into product
use, service and customer feedback. The PPAP is an output of APQP confirming that the production
process has demonstrated the potential to produce products that consistently fulfil all requirements at
the customer demand rate.
Foreword
To assure customer satisfaction, the aviation, space and defence industry organizations must produce
and continually improve safe, reliable products that equal or exceed customer and regulatory authority
requirements. The globalization of the industry and the resulting diversity of regional / national
requirements and expectations have complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the
challenge of assuring the quality of and integration of product purchased from suppliers throughout the
world and at all levels within the supply chain. Industry suppliers face the challenge of delivering
product to multiple customers having varying quality expectations and requirements.
The aviation, space, and defence industry established the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)
for the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality, delivery, safety and reductions in cost,
throughout the value stream. This organization includes representation from companies in the
Americas, Asia / Pacific and Europe.
This document standardizes the requirements for the Product Development Process (PDP) through the
use of APQP and PPAP methodologies. The establishment of common requirements, for use at all levels
of the supply chain, should result in the elimination or reduction of organization unique requirements
and the resulting variation inherent in the multiple expectations.
This document has been developed by IAQG to cover a wide domain of global applicability (Aerospace &
Defence); please be informed that some standards have been developed by CEN to cover specifically
space systems (e.g. CEN/CENELEC TC5 EN 166XX series). For European space applications these
standards may be taken into account.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
This standard specifies requirements in a structured framework to plan and complete actions of the
product realization cycle which are necessary to ensure quality product(s) are delivered on time, while
satisfying cost performance targets. APQP drives a quality focused approach to product development
through the use of a phased planning process within which specific deliverables are established,
monitored and tracked to closure, while highlighting and mitigating risks as they are identified. PPAP is
an output of APQP confirming that the production process has demonstrated the potential to produce
products that consistently fulfil all requirements while operating at the customer demand rate.
Successful implementation of APQP requires: management commitment and support from the
beginning of the product development cycle and multidisciplinary project teams integrating all
stakeholders and delivering a committed timeline for executing planned activities.
APQP has five phases (conceptually illustrated in Figure 1) starting with conceptual product needs and
extending throughout the product life cycle. The actual duration of each phase will differ depending
upon the scope and timing of the specific product and/or production development project. These
phases are described as follows:
• Phase 1 – Planning:
The goal of this phase is to capture customer inputs, benchmark data, lessons learned, regulatory
requirements, technical specifications, company know-how and strategy into a product concept and
realization plan. This includes identification of the high-level technical, quality and cost targets.
• Phase 2 – Product Design and Development:
The goal of this phase is to translate the technical, quality and cost requirements into a controlled,
verified and validated product design. Design validation is achieved using prototype, development,
or production parts in test environments that can represent the customer’s installation and subject
the product to extreme conditions required by contract or regulation.
• Phase 3 – Process Design and Development:
The goal of this phase is to design and develop the production processes needed to produce product
that consistently fulfil technical, quality and cost requirements while operating at the customer
demand rate.
• Phase 4 – Product and Process Validation:
The goal of this phase is to validate that product fulfils the design requirements and the production
processes have demonstrated the capability to consistently produce conforming pro
