This document establishes the general requirements for the quality management of aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing systems and processes. It covers the areas of:

Quality system, documentation, and control of records;

Management responsibility;

Resource management;

Product realization; and

Measurement, analysis, and improvement.

This document defines these areas and their key aspects so they can be practically managed, and that deicing operations can become safer with time. In alignment with AS6285 and AS6286, the primary focus of this standard is on the deicing/anti-icing of aircraft using deicing and anti-icing fluids.
