ABSTRACT
Quality system standards and specifications associated with the automotive, aerospace and general manufacturing industries are reviewed in this chapter for the purpose of identifying the requirements for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Control Plans in the Product Quality Cycle. This chapter provides only a brief overview of each document, and anyone who wants to fulfill the regulatory and industrial requirements should obtain a copy of the respective documents from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) or other publishing organizations in order to ensure that all documentation required for registration is completed. As regulations and standards are periodically updated, it is the reader’s responsibility to ensure the applicability of these documents.
