Space product assurance - Electrical, electronic and electromechanical (EEE) components

This standard defines the requirements for selection, control, procurement and usage of EEE components for space projects.
This standard differentiates between three classes of components through three different sets of standardization requirements (clauses) to be met.
The three classes provide for three levels of trade-off between assurance and risk. The highest assurance and lowest risk is provided by class 1 and the lowest assurance and highest risk by class 3. Procurement costs are typically highest for class 1 and lowest for class 3. Mitigation and other engineering measures may decrease the total cost of ownership differences between the three classes. The project objectives, definition and constraints determine which class or classes of components are appropriate to be utilised within the system and subsystems.
a.   Class 1 components are described in Clause 4.
b.   Class 2 components are described in Clause 5
c.   Class 3 components are described in Clause 6.
The requirements of this document apply to all parties involved at all levels in the integration of EEE components into space segment hardware and launchers.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Raumfahrtproduktsicherung - Elektrische, elektronische und elektromechanische (EEE) Bauteile

Assurance produit des projets spatiaux - Composants électriques, électroniques et électromécaniques (EEE)

Zagotavljanje varnih proizvodov v vesoljski tehniki - Električne, elektronske in elektromehanske komponente

Ta standard določa zahteve za izbiro, nadzor, nabavo in uporabo električnih, elektronskih in elektromehanskih komponent (EEE) v vesoljski tehniki. Ta standard razlikuje med tremi razredi komponent s pomočjo treh različnih naborov standardizacijskih zahtev (določil), ki morajo biti izpolnjene. Ti trije razredi določajo tri ravni kompromisov med zagotovili in tveganjem. Največje zagotovilo in najmanjše tveganje zagotavlja razred 1, najmanjše zagotovilo in največje tveganje pa razred 3. Stroški nabave so običajno najvišji za razred 1 in najnižji za razred 3. Ukrepi za blažitev in drugi inženirski ukrepi lahko zmanjšajo skupne stroške lastniških razlik med temi tremi razredi. Cilji projekta, njegova opredelitev in omejitve določajo, kateri razred ali razredi komponent so ustrezni za uporabo v sistemu in podsistemih. a. Komponente razreda 1 so opisane v točki 4. b. Komponente razreda 2 so opisane v točki 5 c. Komponente razreda 3 so opisane v točki 6. Zahteve tega dokumenta veljajo za vse vpletene strani na vseh ravneh integracije električnih, elektronskih in elektromehanskih komponent v vesoljski strojni opremi in lansirnikih. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.

Important elements of EEE component requirements include: a. component programme management, b. component selection, evaluation and approval, c. procurement, d. handling and storage, e. component quality assurance, f. specific components, and g. documentation. The main tools which can be used to reach the objective are: a. concurrent engineering, b. standardization of component types,
c. characterization of components, d. assessment of component manufacturers including declared competencies and processes, e. testing, screening, lot acceptance and periodic testing, f. procurement specifications, g. control and inspection, h. control of nonconforming materials, i. assessment and use of existing component data,
j. application of specific control to mitigate risk for components with limited data or confidence, and k. information management. The basic approach is as follows: • The customer of a given space project defines the EEE component requirements within the boundaries of this standard. They appear in the appropriate clauses of the project requirements as defined in ECSS-M-ST-10. • The supplier defines a component control plan to implement those requirements into a system which enables, for instance, to control the selection, approval, procurement, handling in a schedule compatible with his requirements, and in a cost-efficient way. • The supplier ensures that the applicable parts requirements are passed down to lower level suppliers and ensure that they are compliant to these parts requirements.
