Identification of the Critical Safety Characteristics and associated processes must include those at the sub-contractor level.

b. Identification of the Quality Management System and whether or not it is certified to, compliant with, or exceeds the requirements of ISO 9001 (latest version), or an equivalent quality program acceptable to the Government.
