Direct Ship Guidance for Aerospace Companies
ARP9114B
This document is limited to the aerospace industry, where an approved manufacturer requests a supplier to ship an article against the approved manufacturer’s quality system directly to a customer. The direct ship process is not required or applicable to standard parts or military parts. In this process, the approved manufacturer is responsible for assurance that the article conforms to type design information.
Rationale:
This document was revised to remove ambiguities with regard to how direct ship authority is documented and define the record retention requirements. A non-value added figure was removed and the document was restructured for conciseness. All other changes made to the document were editorial in nature.
