Aerospace Series - Non-Deliverable Software Requirements
AS9125
This standard defines the requirements for the effective control of non-deliverable software. This standard can be used during the design, development, test, production, release, use, maintenance, and retirement of non-deliverable software. This can include non-deliverable software procured from external suppliers and utilized in the design, production, evaluation, test, acceptance, or calibration of a deliverable product.
This standard focuses solely on the unique requirements of the operational processes that pertain to non-deliverable software as identified by clause 1.2.
Operational processes not covered in this standard are addressed by the respective organization’s Quality Management System (QMS), based on the 9100-series (i.e., 9100, 9110, 9120) and/or ISO 9001 standards.
If there is a conflict between the requirements of this standard, and customer or applicable statutory/regulatory requirements, the latter shall take precedence.
Rationale: This standard supersedes and modernizes the Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) 9005, Aerospace Guidance for Non-Deliverable Software, published in June 2005. ARP9005 guidance was published as an “Americas Only” sector specific document.
