AF 9300 — the technical framework.

AF 9300 establishes a common assurance framework for planning, performing, reviewing and documenting aerospace testing, verification, validation and qualification. It asks whether the right article was evaluated by a suitable method under controlled conditions, and whether the evidence supports the decision.

Why this subject matters

Aerospace programmes rely on laboratories, tests, simulations, inspections and analyses. Results are meaningful only when configuration, method, conditions, instrumentation, acceptance criteria and limitations are understood.

Where the technical field applies.

The published framework can apply across aerospace lifecycle responsibilities, according to actual activity and scope.

  • Aerospace laboratories and test centres
  • Environmental, EMC and structural facilities
  • Space qualification facilities
  • Manufacturers and integrators
  • System and software verification teams
  • Simulation and validation centres
  • Engineering organizations using analysis as formal evidence

Application domains

Aerospace — cross-sectorAviationSpaceUAS & Advanced Air MobilityDefense Aerospace & Dual-Use

How AF 9300 is organized.

Verification strategy

Evidence planned against requirements and decisions.

Article & configuration identity

As-tested configuration, representativeness and deviations.

Method validity

Suitable verified or validated methods.

Measurement & uncertainty

Traceability, uncertainty and decision rules.

Structural & environmental testing

Mechanical, thermal and environmental qualification.

Electrical & materials evidence

EMC, materials, failure and fire-related testing.

Software & hardware verification

Target configuration, anomalies and evidence integrity.

Simulation credibility

Model validity, sensitivity and acceptance boundaries.

Test readiness & reporting

Hazards, raw data, anomalies and technical conclusions.

The standard and its supporting documents.

Read AF 9300 for the technical requirements and application boundaries. Use the supporting policies, manuals, procedures, profiles and records for the relevant implementation task.

Connected scope, separate requirements.

AF 9100:2026 provides the published organizational and lifecycle assurance foundation. AF 9300 addresses a distinct technical discipline with its own First Edition and supporting resources; conformity with one AF Standard does not automatically establish conformity with another.

Relevant Technical Committees.

These connections identify subject expertise relevant to the scope. Formal drafting and publication decisions follow separate technical review and approval processes.
