SAE JA 1000

This SAE Standard establishes the requirement for suppliers to plan a reliability program that satisfies the following three requirements: a. The supplier shall ascertain customer requirements; b. The supplier shall meet customer requirements; c. The supplier shall assure that customer requirements have been met.

This document applies to the specification, design and development, and assurance of any product.
