The IAQG supported document AS9115, international version of the Americas AS9006 document is being balloted. I believe the goal is to discontinue AS9006, once AS9115 is released. No decisions (that I am aware of) at this time about turning this into a certifiable norm.
Foreword
This document standardizes, to the greatest extent possible, the software quality management system requirements for the aviation, space and defense industries. This was accomplished through the harmonization of quality management system requirements from international aviation, space and defense software standards and other applicable documents. The establishment of common requirements for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organizations around the world should result in improved quality, schedule and cost performance by the reduction or elimination of organization-unique requirements and wider application of good practice.
Summary/Rationale
This document is the initial release of 9115 and is used as a supplement to 9100 to clarify the corresponding 9100 requirements, as necessary, for deliverable software. Where clarification is needed, is necessary in some cases to decompose "shall" statements in 9100 into more granular requirements due to the complexity of software. Where no software clarification is required of the 9100 paragraph, the following phrase will be presented: "The requirements of 9100 apply. No clarification required for software."
The 9115 document supersedes AS9006, Deliverable Aerospace Software Supplement for AS9100A, Quality Management Systems – Aerospace – Requirements for Software published in March 2003.
NOTE: This document must be used in conjunction with 9100; references throughout the text to 9100 are understood to mean 9100:2009.
