Annotation of standard text SAE GEIASTD0002_1A :
This Standard applies to integrated circuits and semiconductors exhibiting the following attributes:
a
A minimum set of requirements, or information provided by the part manufacturer, which will allow a standard COTS component to be designated AQEC by the manufacturer.
b
As a minimum, each COTS component (designated AQEC) will have been designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested in accordance with the component manufacturer’s requirements for standard data book components.
c
Qualification of, and quality systems for, the COTS components to be designated as AQEC shall include the manufacturer’s standards, operating procedures, and technical specifications.
d
Components manufactured before the manufacturer has addressed AQEC requirements, but utilizing the same processes, are also considered AQEC compliant.
e
Additional desired attributes of a device designated AQEC (that will support AQEC users) are found in Appendix B of this standard.
NOTE: Parts qualified to military specifications (except those identified as being for “logistic support purposes only” and/or having expressed limitations on their airborne use) are considered AQEC; the remainder of this standard only addresses non-military specification parts.
