Foreword This Standard is one of the series of ECSS Standards intended to be applied together for the management, engineering and product assurance in space projects and applications. ECSS is a cooperative effort of the European Space Agency, national space agencies and European industry associations for the purpose of developing and maintaining common standards. Requirements in this Standard are defined in terms of what shall be accomplished, rather than in terms of how to organize and perform the necessary work. This allows existing organizational structures and methods to be applied where they are effective, and for the structures and methods to evolve as necessary without rewritingthestandards. This Standard has been prepared by the ECSS Executive Secretariat endorsed by the document and disciplinefocalpointandapprovedbytheECSSTechnicalAuthority.

NOTE 1 Project approval is always by means of the request for approval (RFA) form and the projects declared materials list (DML), declared mechanical parts list (DMPL) and declared processes list (DPL). NOTE 2 The details for approvals of MMPP lists are contained in this Standard. NOTE 3 To summarize: In addition: Materials are validated. Mechanical parts are qualified. Processes are verified. Skills training schools are ESA-certified. Outside test or evaluation laboratories are certified by agency or company audits. Operators and inspectors for special and critical processes are trained, certified and monitored.

Annex F (informative) MMPP documents delivery with respect to milestones

Scope of the Table F1 is to present relation of documents associated to Parts, material and processes activities to support project review objectives as specifiedinECSSMST10. NOTE This table constitutes a first indication for the data package content at various reviews. The full content of such data package is established as part of the business agreement, which also defines the delivery of the document between reviews.
The table lists the documents necessary for the project reviews (identified by +). The various crosses in a row indicate the increased levels of maturity progressively expected versus reviews. The last cross in a row indicates that at thatreviewthedocumentisexpectedtobecompletedandfinalized. NOTE All documents, even when not marked as deliverables in Table F1 are expected to be available and maintained under configuration management as per ECSSMST40 (e.g. to allowforbacktrackingincaseofchanges).
TableF1presentsthereviewsatwhichthedifferentissuesoftheECSSQST70 andECSSQST7001documentsareexpected. NOTE Other MMPP deliverable document requirements definitions (DRDs) are contained intheECSSQST70XXdocuments.
