MIL-PRF-38535K
3.3 Quality management (QM) program. A QM program shall be implemented by the manufacturer (see G.3.1).
3.3.1 Manufacturer's review system. The Technology Review Board (TRB) (See G.3.2) shall implement a dedicated
system of review. The TRB shall review, approve and document the implementation of the QM program, as reflected in the
QM plan; maintenance of all certified and qualified processes; process change control; reliability data analysis, failure analysis
(FA), and corrective actions; QML microcircuit recall procedures; and qualification status of the technology.
3.3.2 QM plan. A QM plan reflects the major elements of the manufacturer's QML process (see G.3.3). The QM plan shall
be kept current and up-to-date and shall reflect all major changes. Whenever the TRB makes major changes to the QM plan,
copies of the updated QM plan shall be submitted to the QA for review.
3.3.3 Self-assessment program. The manufacturer’s TRB shall ensure that a self-assessment program is implemented and
perform evaluations on a periodic basis of all areas controlled by the QM Plan. Results of the self-assessment including
corrective actions shall be documented by the TRB and shall be made available for review to the QA (see G.3.1).
3.3.4 Change control procedures. The manufacturer shall have a system that shall provide notification of change that
affects form, fit, function and radiation (when applicable) to all known acquiring activities prior to the release of the affected
product. The manufacturer may make notification of this change of product through the Government-Industry Data Exchange
Program (GIDEP) using the Product Change Notice. In any case, the manufacturer shall assure that all known acquiring
activities are notified. The following processes and procedures shall be addressed (see G.3.4):
a. Design methodology changes.
b. Fabrication process changes.
c. Assembly process changes.
d. Package changes.
e. Test facility changes.
f. Location changes to fabrication, assembly, test, and qualification.
3.3.4.1 Discontinuation of products. The manufacturer shall have a system that provides notification of product
discontinuation which comprises date of discontinuation and last times buy opportunity in advance (at least 6 month in
advance) to the DLA Land and Maritime for purchasing devices.
3.4 Requirements for listing on a QML. To be listed on a QML, the manufacturer shall demonstrate compliance to the QML
certification requirements (see 3.4.1), demonstrate compliance to the QML qualification requirements (see 3.4.2), and work
with the DLA Land and Maritime to develop an SMD describing the candidate QML device(s) (see 3.5). An existing MIL-M-
38510 device specification may be used. The QA shall verify compliance to the requirements and shall list the manufacturer's
technology on the QML.
