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.

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.

Hello guys,

I'm now involved in revision of quality plans according to AQAP 2105. My questions are: Is it mandatory to follow step by step and in the same order paragraphs shown in that standard, or is the subcontractor free to choose its own order? If It were mandatory, is there any clause written in AQAP 2105 or AQAP 2110 about that? Thanks.

Simple - All requirements are applicable unless agreement otherwise as documented as part of the contract with the acquirer. See 2.1 Compliance.

Hello Thee Bouyyy. Obviously all the requirements are mandatory, unless agreed with the costumer. My question was about the order of paragraphs in the Quality Plan. I have seen some quality plans that agree with the standard, but it would be easier to review them if the paragraphs were written in the same order as they are shown in the standard AQAP 2105 my Thanks.
