European foreword

This document (EN 9115:2018) has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD‑STAN).

After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this Standard has received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of ASD, prior to its presentation to CEN.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2019.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes EN 9115:2013.

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Rationale

This European standard supersedes the initial release of prEN 9115 published in April 2010. This European standard has been revised to incorporate the new clause structure and content of EN ISO 9001:2015. In addition, industry requirements, definitions, and notes have been revised in response to EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN 9100:2016 revisions and stakeholder needs.

This is the second revision of EN 9115 which is an international supplement to EN 9100 providing clarification of the corresponding EN 9100 requirements, as necessary, for deliverable software. In some cases, where clarification is needed, it was necessary due to the complexity of software to decompose “shall” statements in EN 9100 into more granular requirements. Where no software clarification is required of the EN 9100 requirements, the following phrase is presented: “The requirements of EN 9100 apply. No clarification required for software.”

NOTE This document must be used in conjunction with EN 9100:2016; references throughout the text to EN 9100 are understood to mean EN 9100:2016.

Foreword

This document standardizes, to the greatest extent possible, the software quality management system requirements for the aviation, space, and defence industry. This was accomplished through the harmonization of quality management system requirements from international aviation, space, and defence software standards and other applicable documents and good practice. The establishment of common requirements for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organizations around the world should result in improved quality, schedule, and cost performance by the reduction or elimination of organization unique requirements and wider application of good practice.

Intended Application

The requirements of EN 9100 apply with the following clarification for software.

Organizations whose products are deliverable software or contain deliverable software should use the supplemental EN 9115 standard when planning and evaluating the software design, development, release, procurement, and management activities of the organization. The EN 9115 standard provides guidance to the requirements of EN 9100 when it is desired to add “deliverable software” to the organization’s EN 9100-registration certificate, and a greater depth of specificity and granularity to the requirements for assuring that the objectives of EN 9100 will be met for deliverable software.

NOTE This document is independent of the life cycle models (e.g., waterfall, spiral, agile, evolutionary, incremental) or methodology (e.g., objected oriented design, unified modelling language).
