This ECSS Standard was developed to ensure that space test centres working for European space projects operate a quality and safety assurance system in line with ECSS requirements, internationally recognised standards and best working practices. This Standard makes applicable the requirements of EN 9100:2009 and provides additional requirements specific to space test centres. The quality management system of the space test centre, or that of the organization of which it is part, is to be in conformance with these requirements. This Standard also incorporates requirements from ISO/IEC 17025:2005 that are considered applicable for space test centres working for space projects. This Standard does not make compulsory Certification of the space test centre against the requirements of the aforementioned Standards by a recognised certification authority.
