Description / Abstract: General

This International Standard specifies requirements when a space test centre needs to demonstrate its competence to consistently provide space testing that meets customer requirements.

This International Standard defines the requirements for space testing and the development of test facilities. This International Standard applies to space test centres as self-standing organizations, or those belonging to a parent organization.

It is emphasized that the requirements specified in this International Standard are complementary (not alternative) to contractual and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. If should there be a conflict between the requirements of this International Standard and applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, the latter shall take precedence.

Application

This International Standard specifies requirements for space test centres, applicable to the test process, test personnel (both, of the customer and the space test centre), test facilities, test environment and any operations related to the test item under responsibility of the space test centre as requested by the customer.

In a specific context, the requirements defined in this International Standard may be tailored to match the requirements of this context.
