IEC TS 62239-1:2015(E) defines the requirements for developing an Electronic Components Management Plan (ECMP) to assure customers that all of the electronic components in the equipment of the plan owner are selected and applied in controlled processes compatible with the end application and that all technical requirements are accomplished. This document provides an aid in the aerospace certification process. Although developed for the avionics industry, this process may be applied by other industrial sectors. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous one:
- rationalization of the number of requirements;
- consistency in the use of certain terms;
- addition of a requirements matrix;
- updates to various specifications;
- addition of certain test methods.
