Removal of Product Qualification Approval

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
1. This Standard contains a Product Qualification Approval (PQA) scheme. iMOD policy requires that all
PQA schemes are removed from Defence Standards called up in contracts placed after 1st January 1998.

2. Users of this Standard are to contact the Project Manager (PM), Equipment Support Manager (ESM) or
Technical Service Authority (TSA) named in the contract or order, to identify whether there is a continuing need
for an approvals scheme.
ii
3. Product Conformity Certification (PCC) is a risk based process that replaces PQA. Once a risk has been
identified PCC can be included as a contract clause. In exceptional circumstances agreement can be sought from
AD/Stan for PCC to be included in a Defence Standard.

4. At the next revision of this Standard the PQA scheme will be removed.

PCC is certification that a product meets its specification. When PC is required by the contract, the
contractor is responsible for obtaining the necessary PCC. Certification shall be provided from a
NAMAS accredited laboratory when appropriate. PCC shall apply where a Risk Assessment has been
identified by the PM; ESM or TSA.
