APPENDIX G
THE QUALIFIED MANUFACTURERS LISTING PROGRAM
G.1 SCOPE
G.1.1 Scope. The Qualified Manufacturers Listing (QML) program measures and evaluates the manufacturers'
manufacturing process against a baseline for that process. This baseline can include innovative and improved
processes that result in an equivalent or higher quality product, provided that the process used to evaluate and
document these changes has been reviewed and approved. Changes to the process baseline can be made by the
manufacturer's Technology Review Board (TRB) after achieving QML status with documented reliability and quality
data. The approach outlined in this appendix is a proven baseline which contains details of the quality management
(QM) program including the TRB, the QM plan, and change control procedures. This appendix is a mandatory part of
the specification. The information contained herein is intended for compliance. However, for QML microcircuits the
manufacturers may offer approved alternatives that demonstrate a process control system that achieves at least the
same level of quality and reliability as could be achieved by this appendix.
G.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
G.2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in section G.3 of this appendix. This section
does not include documents cited in other sections of this appendix or recommended for additional information or as

that they must meet all specified requirements of documents cited in section G.3 of this appendix, whether or not they
are listed.
G.2.2 Other Government documents, drawings, and publications. The following other Government documents,
drawings, and publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified,
the issues of these documents are those cited in the solicitation or contract.

(Copies of DSCC-VQC-42 are available from DLA Land and Maritime (ATTN: DLA Land and Maritime-VQC),
P.O. Box 3990, Columbus, OH 43218-3990.)
G.2.3 Non-Government publications. The following documents form a part of this document to the extent specified
herein. Unless otherwise specified, the issues of these documents are those cited in the solicitation or contract.
