Hi,
I'm looking for some assistance in writting a Quality plan which is in compliance with the NATO AQAP 2110 and AQAP 2210 standards.
I'm able to bring someone on in a consultant role to help with this.
Any help would be great.

Thanks

NOTE: AQAP = Allied Quality Assurance Publications

Hello johnp,

Welcome to The Cove Forums! :bigwave: :bigwave:

Could this be of help (http://www.nato.int/docu/standard.htm)?

Or this (http://www.ams.mod.uk/content/docs/quality/content/contractingforqual/deliverableqp.htm)?

Those are good, but I already have the AQAP standards and have made an attempt at writting the Quality plan. Our customer is VERY detail specific and I am looking for guidance at satisfiying their requirements.

Well, I am not an expert in the "NATO Military Quality" field. I am sure that there are (international) Fellow Covers with this type of experience. We hope to hear from them soon.

Bumping this up... Anyone have experience in the AQAP Quality plan?

I have no experience but does this document
AQAP-2105 Edition 1 - December 2005 NATO requirements for deliverable quality plans
at the link that Stijloor gave not help

I'm can't beleive no one on this board knows about this. This is my first attempt and doing this and they have been overly critial. Iam willing to pay for consulting services.
Thanks:confused:

Sorry, I've never heard of it either. I've never been involved in any NATO requirements and I don't recall anyone here ever mentioning them before.

Is this issue still open? since I might contribute a bit!
Thanks

Go ahead. If the OP doesn't require it now, it will still benefit future users. :thanx:

Yes I could still use some assistance.
Thanks!

Regarding AQAP's (Allied Quality Assurance Publications):
NATO Countries military organizations for standardization reasons had decided to end up with a common "Standardization NATO Agreement" or "STANAG 4107" to agree under standard quality standards similar to various ISO 9001 series. You may say that they just took -as examble- the ISO 9130 and they create the equivalent AQAP 2130 that has some additional futures incorporated by NATO. Same agreement incorporates the additional to ISO capability for a customer country to delegate a "National or Government quality representative "N(G)QAR" from a respective office in its country, free of charge -except US-, to supervise the contractor (AQAP certified) on risk assessment identified by the delagetee regarding product / services or system. The AQAP also gives easy authorization to military repair facilities for "release to service" on foreign contracts since normally they cannot be EASA or FAA certified. Although AQAP like ISO are standards and EASA/FAA regulatory and thus non similar identities to compare but.. Military organizations they have their own internal quality regulations that you trust or not!
Did I manage to confuse you? :confused:

This is another link which you could use for reference.

Managing Quality - Policy, information and guidance on the Managing Quality aspects of UK MOD Defence Acquisition. (http://www.aof.mod.uk/aofcontent/tactical/quality/content/contractingforqual/contractualqareq.htm)

Introduction

1. MOD has a policy of Appropriate Certification; this means that where contracts are placed for products / services that are not simple, commercial-off-the-shelf or of low-value, and conformance to requirements cannot readily be checked after receipt, the IPTL must make sure that such contracts are only placed with contractors holding an appropriate quality system certification.

2. The International Standards organisation (ISO) 9000 family of standards do not address all of the MOD's contracting requirements and are therefore unsuitable for use in contracts. However, the Allied Quality Assurance Publications (AQAPs) of the 2000 series meet the MOD's contracting needs, embodying the requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 standard and importantly include additional clauses to meet MOD specific needs such as access to contractors' premises.

3. This use of the AQAPs is consistent with the order of preference, or hierarchy for standards selection in that the additional clauses constitute overarching MOD requirements. For more information see Standards Selection on the DStan website.

Thank you Harry, a very usuful input.
