The present document: ? is based on internationally-recognized concepts; ? proposes organisational principles and implementation processes for Configuration Management from both viewpoints: ??programme?? and ??company??@ with emphasis on the ??programme?? viewpoint; ? deals with verifications@ reviews and audits tending towards the validation of the configuration information consistency. It details the principles described in EN 9223-100. It is up to each programme responsible person to define the necessary details of application and tailoring in the Configuration Management plan. Important remark: Configuration audit doesn??t be confused with quality audit (for detailed information@ see 4.1). This document does not deal with configuration system audits (quality audit) deployed within the scope of a programme. These audits stem from quality audits as defined in EN ISO 9001 (process conformity or efficiency audits).
