What is ISO 14621-1 - Electrical, electronic electromechanical (EEE) parts about ?
ISO 14621-1 specifies key elements for an EEE parts management programme for space systems and is written in general terms as a baseline for developing, implementing, validating, and evaluating a space parts management programme. The family of EEE parts includes electro-optical parts.
ISO 14621‑1 is designed to assist the user and supplier communities in developing and executing an effective process for the design, selection and application of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) space parts throughout the life cycle of the programme.
ISO 14621‑1 is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual programme, i.e., to address the applicable system performance requirements, risk tolerance, budget, mission duration, operating environment, and schedule. Tailoring should result in a set of planned activities that are not only capable of achieving all contractual EEE parts related requirements but also commensurate with the space system’s unit-value/mission-criticality and life cycle technical data product requirements.
ISO 14621‑1 is relevant to all users and customers of space systems, and the suppliers and vendors that furnish space flight hardware. However, to utilize these documents to their fullest potential, it is necessary to understand the commercial space business environment which has unique cost and schedule constraint challenges.
ISO 14621‑1 discusses the following key elements that support an effective EEE parts management programme:
- Part obsolescence management
- Supplier management
- Cost management
- Technology insertion
- Space parts community alert exchange
- Process control
- Systems engineering
- Training
Who is ISO 14621-1 - Electrical, electronic electromechanical (EEE) parts for?
ISO 14621-1 on electrical, electronic electromechanical (EEE) parts for aerospace applications is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of electromechanical
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Quality control/testing and compliance personnel for aerospace
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers for electromechanical parts
Why should you use ISO 14621-1 - Electrical, electronic electromechanical (EEE) parts ?
EEE part is a device that performs an electrical, electronic, electromechanical (EEE) function, including electro-optical devices. EEE consists of one or more elements joined together such that they cannot be dissembled without destroying the functionality of the device.
Electromechanical parts are a combination of electrical and mechanical components used in complex circuitry.
ISO 14621-1 assists engineers in designing, building, and manufacturing product parts used to control the flow of electrical current. In doing so, they must handle extremely small and delicate electromechanical parts.
ISO 14621-1 helps experts with welding or soldering of various components.
What’s changed since the last update ?
BS ISO 14621-1:2019 supersedes BS ISO 14621-1:2003. BS ISO 14621-1:2019 includes some technical changes concerning BS ISO 14621-1:2003. These include:
- Introduction and definitions have been revised
- Consistency has been checked with ISO 14621-2
- The document has been aligned with the ISO/IEC Directives Part 2, 2018 edition
