This DOA Guidance Material shall be used in conjunction with ASD-STAN TR 9250:2023.

It provides a means of compliance to EASA Part 21 DOA applicable requirements and/or military equivalent applicable requirements (e. g.: EMAR 21) in:

The requirements of the present ASD-STAN Technical Report should be cascaded to the test organization by the design organization depending on the level of involvement of the test organization.
