Full title and description
ISO 27025:2023 — Space systems — Programme management — Product quality assurance requirements. This International Standard specifies requirements for establishing and implementing a product quality assurance (QA) programme for space-system projects across mission definition, design, development, production, operations and disposal, and for the agreed customer–supplier relationship for space products.
Abstract
ISO 27025:2023 defines the objectives, processes and documentation needed to plan, implement, monitor and report a product QA programme for space projects. The standard covers QA planning, status reporting, audits, personnel training and certification, inspection, test and measurement control, configuration and change control, handling of nonconformities and corrective actions, supplier control and traceability, and requirements for maintaining QA records throughout the life cycle of space products.

Scope
The standard applies to product-quality-assurance activities for space-system programmes and projects, covering the full life cycle: mission definition, design, development, production, operations and disposal. It is intended to be applied within the contractual customer–supplier relationship for space products to the extent agreed between the parties and to be tailored as appropriate for programme size and complexity.
Key topics and requirements
- Establishment and implementation of a product QA programme and QA programme plan.
- QA roles, responsibilities and interfaces between customer and supplier.
- Documentation and data control, records retention and traceability.
- Inspection, test and measurement equipment control, calibration and validation.
- Configuration management, change control and release-to-service provisions.
- Nonconformance control, corrective/preventive actions and disposition of nonconforming items.
- Supplier selection, monitoring, audits and lower-tier supplier control.
- QA status reporting and review at project milestones and reviews.
- Personnel training, qualification and certification for QA-critical tasks.
- Audit planning (internal and external), verification and validation of QA activities.
Typical use and users
This standard is used by space agencies, prime contractors, subcontractors and suppliers involved in spacecraft, launchers, payloads, ground systems and associated equipment. Typical users include programme managers, product assurance and quality managers, procurement and supply-chain teams, test and verification engineers, and certification or compliance reviewers who need a structured QA framework for space programmes.
Related standards
ISO 27025:2023 is part of the ISO space systems programme-management framework and is closely associated with ISO 14300‑1 and ISO 14300‑2 (Programme management and Product assurance), and ISO 10795 (space programme management and quality — vocabulary). Users commonly reference ISO 9001 (quality management systems) for shared quality-management practices and ECSS product-assurance standards (ECSS‑Q series) for European space-specific product-assurance requirements and tailoring.
