Additional requirements on the basis of this conditional approval are described below.

Qualification to AS81820 stipulates that your products possess the technical capabilities defined in the standard. Therefore, your products have the p o tential to be purchased under the standard with the intent for insta llat i on on military as well as commercial aircraft . Procurement of standard parts by the DOD and OEMs as well as their distributors and maintenance organizations also require parts to be manufactured under a certified quality management system.

Including a product on the QPL does not relieve the manufacturer of its contractual obligation to deliver items meeting all the specification requirements . To retain QPL status, your company must comply with the retention of qualification requirements stated in the applicable standard and submit on a bi-yearly basis a completed certification form DD1718. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the withdrawal of your company from the QPL.
