This Standard is applicable to the customer-supplier relationship for space products to the extent agreed by both parties. The requirements of this Standard and its associated level 3 standards should be tailored to the needs and classes of specific projects. When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this Standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
