ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MANAGEMENT PLANS

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the
subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions
determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
representation from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the
form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the
National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC
International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard
shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for
any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This PAS Pre-Standard has been published using a rapid procedure as a result of
technical consensus at the level of experts working on the subject within the IEC. The
normal IEC procedure for the preparation of an International Standard is pursued in
parallel and this Pre-Standard will be withdrawn upon publication of the corresponding
International Standard.
IEC-PAS 62239 has been processed by IEC technical committee 107: Process
management for avionics.
The text of this PAS is based on the This PAS was approved for
following document: publication by the P-members of the
committee concerned as indicated in
the following document:
Draft PAS Report on voting
107/2/PAS 107/7/RVD

ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MANAGEMENT PLANS

Purpose
This document is intended to help aerospace equipment manufacturers, subcontractors,

maintenance facilities, and other aerospace component users develop their own

Electronic Component Management Plans (ECMPs), hereinafter also called the Plan.

This document states objectives to be accomplished; it does not require specific tasks to

be performed, specific data to be collected or reports to be issued. Those who prepare

Plans in compliance with this document are encouraged to document processes that are
the most effective and efficient for them in accomplishing the objectives of this
document. In order to allow flexibility in implementing and updating the documented
processes, Plan preparers are encouraged to refer to their own internal process documents
instead of including detailed process documentation within their Plans.
This component management document is intended for aerospace users of electronic
components. It is not intended for use by the manufacturers of electronic components.
Components selected and managed according to the requirements of a Plan compliant to
this document may be approved by the concerned parties for the proposed application,
and for other applications with equal or less severe requirements.
Organizations that prepare such Plans may prepare a single Plan, and use it for all
relevant products supplied by the organization, or may prepare a separate Plan for each
relevant product or customer.
1Scope
This document defines the requirements to assure customers and regulatory agencies that
all of the electronic components in the equipment of Electronic Component Management
Plan owners are selected and applied in controlled processes; and that the following
objectives are accomplished:
• Components are applied properly in the design
• Components are qualified for the intended application
• The quality of every individual component
• Component integrity and compatibility with manufacturing processes

• A process is in place to collect, store, retrieve, analyse, and act upon data related to
the component itself, and also relevant component data from equipment design,
equipment manufacturing, and component use in service
• Components are selected, substituted, and managed systematically by the equipment
supplier to maintain a traceable path to the qualified equipment through the operation
of an effective configuration control system
• Component availability, obsolescence and reliability are understood, and their
impacts on the application are understood and managed

3 Terms and Definitions
Airborne equipment environment is the applicable environmental conditions (as described
per the equipment specification) that the equipment shall be able to withstand without
loss or degradation in equipment performance during all of its manufacturing cycle and
service life.
– 3 –
Capable is a term used to indicate that a component can be used successfully in the

intended application.
Certified indicates compliance to an applicable government standard, an applicable

industry consensus standard, or the component manufacturer’s documented, equivalent

internal standard.
Characterization is a process of testing a sample of components to determine the key

electrical parameter values that can be expected of all produced components of the type

tested.
Component application is the process that assures that the component meets the design

requirements of the equipment in which it is used.
Component manufacturer is the organization responsible for the component specification
and its production.
Component obsolescence management is the range of management actions taken to avoid
or resolve the effects of components not being procurable due to the manufacturer(s)
ceasing production. Component obsolescence management should be considered an
element of risk management. (See risk management.)
Component qualification is the process used to demonstrate that the component is capable
of meeting its specification in all the required environments.
Component quality assurance is all activities and processes to provide adequate
confidence that each individual component is free of defects.
Component selection is the process of choosing a specific component for a specific
application.
Dependability is the measure of being dependable through meeting reliability,
maintainability or survivability expectations.
Distributor is an organization contractually authorized by a manufacturer to store, split,
repack and distribute completely finished components which have been declared by the
manufacturer as conforming to their specifications. The distributor is responsible for
providing any technical information and traceability information supplied by the
component manufacturer.
Electronic Component Management Plan (ECMP) is an equipment manufacturer's
document that defines the processes and practices for applying components to an
equipment or range of equipment. Generally, it addresses all relevant aspects of

controlling components during system design, development, production, and post-
production support.
Electronic components are electrical or electronic devices that are not subject to
disassembly without destruction or impairment of design use. They are sometimes called
electronic parts, or piece parts. Examples are resistors, capacitors, diodes, integrated
circuits, hybrids, application specific integrated circuits, wound components and relays.
Electronic equipment is an item produced by the Plan owner, which incorporates
electronic components. Examples are end items, sub-assemblies, line-replaceable units
and shop-replaceable units.

May indicates a course of action which is permissible within the limits of this document.

Normative reference is a reference for which compliance is required by this document.

Informative reference is a reference that is for information only, and compliance is not

required by this document.
Obsolete component is a component which is no longer manufactured, and may or may

not still be available.
Risk is a measure of the potential inability to achieve overall program objectives within

defined cost, schedule, and technical constraints. Risk has two components: (1) the

probability (or likelihood) of failing to achieve a particular outcome, and (2) the
consequences (or impact) of failing to achieve that outcome.
Risk management is the act or practice of dealing with risk. It includes planning for risk,
assessing (identifying and analyzing) risk areas, developing risk-handling options,
monitoring risks to determine how risks have changed, and documenting the overall risk
management program. (See Risk.)
Shall indicates a requirement.
Should offers a guideline or recommendation that might be used or helpful to assure
compliance to an objective.
Single event effect is the radiation response of a component caused by the impact of
galactic cosmic rays, solar enhanced particles and/or energetic neutrons and protons. The
range of responses can include both non-destructive (e.g. upset) and destructive (e.g.
latch-up or gate rupture) phenomena
