This International Standard establishes the general requirements for delivery of qualified products through manufacturing line approval under the IECQ system and for registration in the Qualified Manufacturer List (QML). In this standard, the term QML is also used to designate the procedure associated with manufacturing line approval. This standard also describes procedures and requirements for the approval, qualification and registration of a manufacturing line, for maintenance of the QML, for audits and for the automatic qualification of products from the approved manufacturing line. After listing a manufacturing line on a QML, the manufacturer will continually meet or improve the established baseline of certified and qualified procedures, the TQM plan, the Technology Review Board (TRB), the status reporting and quality and reliability assurance requirements for all QML products. The standard is applicable for ISO 9000 certified manufacturers of semiconductor devices from member countries of IECQ.
