BS PD IEC/TS 62564-1:2016, which is a Technical Specification, defines the minimum requirementsfor integrated circuits and semiconductors which are designated as an "aerospace qualifiedelectronic component (AQEC)". It applies to integrated circuits and semiconductors exhibitingthe following attributes:

a minimum set of requirements, or information provided by the part manufacturer, whichwill allow a standard COTS component to be designated AQEC by the manufacturer;
as a minimum, each COTS component (designated AQEC) will have been designed,fabricated, assembled, and tested in accordance with the component manufacturer'srequirements for standard data book components;
qualification of, and quality systems for, the COTS components to be designated as AQECshould include the manufacturer's standards, operating procedures, and technicalspecifications. This information should be available when requested;
components manufactured before the manufacturer has addressed AQEC requirements,but utilizing the same processes, are also considered AQEC compliant;
additional desired attributes of a device designated AQEC (that will support AQEC users)are found in Annex B of this technical specification.

NOTE Parts qualified to military specifications (except those identified as being for "logistic support" purposes only) are considered AQEC; the remainder of this technical specification only addresses non-military specification parts.Parts qualified to AEC-Q100, grade 0 through to grade 3 are considered AQEC. For thoseapplications where a 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range is appropriate, grade 4 is alsoconsidered to be AQEC. The users should document that the grade category used iscompatible with the application in accordance with their IEC TS 62239-1 electroniccomponents management plan (ECMP).Cross References:IEC/TS 62239-1IEC 62396-1IEC/TS 62668-1ISO 9001J-STD-048IEC/TS 62686-1ISO/TS 16949AEC-Q100:2014AEC-Q101 AS/EN/JISQ 9100IPC-1066IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609JEDEC JIG101 JEITA ETR-7021JESD46:2011JESD47JESD91JESD94JESD97JEP149JP001STACK S/0001
