Would be interested to hear the forum members opinions on this.
Is there any credibility in following NASA MSFC technical standards for processes in commercial aviation that don't yet have defined industry standards for such processes?
If so to what extent can the MSFC standards be used?
Currently, I'm looking into the MSFC-SPEC-3717 "Specification for control and qualification of laser powder bed fusion metallurgical processes" and MSFC-SPEC-3716 "Standard for additively manufactured spaceflight hardware by laser powder bed fusion in metals". Within these standards, they address the industry as "aerospace", can I, therefore, use these standards when developing a framework to certify commercial aviation parts and if so, how would validate my reasoning for using these NASA standards?
