AS 13001 Updated – Supplier Self Release Training

AS 13001 has just been updated.  The new Revision A has a change in the title.  It’s now Delegated Product Release Verification Training Requirements.  You may be more familiar with this as Supplier Self Release verification training.  The new Revision A is available from Document Center Inc. in paper format, for pdf download, and as part of our Standards Online cloud access service.  The revision is a technical update, primarily intended to bring this standard in line with the new Edition of AS 9117.

The AS 13001 is an Aerospace Standard and reflects the industry’s use of a delegated product release verification system.  This is where a supplier is authorized to ship product directly to the end-use customer without oversight by the contracting organization.  It is essential that the duties that might have previously been performed by a company representative be correctly performed by supplier personnel.  Thus, the need for training.

The 8-page standard begins with the usual scope, referenced documents, and terms and definitions sections.  The core of the technical information is found in the requirements section 4.  This provides an overview, delegating organization training requirements, supplier training requirements and records retention.  Appendix A covers the relationship between this and other SAE standards on the topic. Links are provided to pertinent websites for further assistance.

Normally, an updated standard like this would have black lines in the margins to help you spot the technical changes.  However, they are not provided in this new Revision A.  This is because the changes are so extensive.   The previous original release was only 3 pages in length compared to the 8 pages in this revision.  And, as noted, even the title of the standard has been changed…
