Introduction
1. SCOPE
This Standard provides CM requirements and guidance for NASA Centers, Programs/Projects, and NASA Suppliers.
1.1 Purpose
This Standard contains CM requirements for the NASA systems defined in NPR 7120.5, “NASA Program/Project Management Processes and Requirements.”
1.2 Applicability
This standard may be cited in the CM requirements of NASA Headquarters, NASA Centers, Programs/Projects, and Supplier contracts/agreements. The requirements of this Standard may be tailored based on the type and content of an activity. Tailoring shall be defined by each center in it’s implementing directives. Tailoring concepts that delete or significantly modify implementing the EIA 649 principles in this standard shall be assessed on a risk analysis basis in accordance with NPR 8000.4. The basis of assessment shall be “what is the risk associated with not following the EIA 649 principle?” The acceptance of the resulting risk shall be approved or disapproved by the appropriate Headquarters, Center, or Program/Project authority.
