Regardless of manufacturing source; each product shall be fully interchangeable based on production batch acceptance criteria being achieved in accordance with Technical Specification requirements defined by that Product Standard.
Manufacturers who apply to the TSC to obtain product qualification shall have a current quality management system in accordance with BS EN/AS9100 awarded by an appropriate accredited organisation and shall be registered on the IAQG Oasis database.
A Mandated Body as appointed by the TSC shall witness qualification testing in accordance with the Product Standard and Technical Specification requirements, following the rules and procedures invoked by this Technical Specification.
The Qualification testing requirements are part of the A|D|S programme of voluntary standardisation and depends on the understanding of both the manufacturer and the user representative(s) that any information made available during these evaluations shall remain strictly confidential. Information shall ONLY be disclosed to the Mandated Body carrying out the qualification and members of the TSC.
