1. Reference documents. The applicable issue of the documents cited herein, including their approval dates and dates of any applicable amendments, notices, and revisions, shall be as cited in the contract.

2. Format: Contractor format acceptable.

3. Content: The QAPP will contain the information required to identify how the contractor will satisfy the specific quality tasks within the contract and describe the contractor’s understanding of all documentation tasks required for meeting the contractual requirements. The QAPP includes the technical and manufacturing aspects of production, raw materials, facilities involved, and personnel required. The QAPP will cover the following:

3.1 Reference Documents: A complete list of compliance and reference documents (e.g. ISO 9100A, MIL-STD-1686) that are used to guide the writing and implementation of QAPP.

3.2 Management: Provides the organizational structure, and their responsibilities that will influence the quality of the products. Examples of elements to be addressed include quality planning, implementation, control and monitoring;
