f) covers each stage of verification by testing, for a space system from development to post-landing.
This European Standard does not specify acceptance criteria, specifications or procedures for any particular
project or class of projects. In addition this standard does not apply to software testing, hardware below equipment
levels, nor covers the following:
sounding rockets;
launch facilities;
