NATO's AQAP 2310, or the NATO Quality Assurance Requirements for Design, Development and Production, is a standard applied to suppliers who design, develop, and manufacture defense products. This document is part of the AQAP series, which are developed by the NATO Standardisation Agency under the auspices of the NATO Committee for Standardisation.
The AQAP 2310 standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system for organisations involved in the design, development, and production of defence material. This standard is harmonised with ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements specific to the defence sector.
Compliance with AQAP 2310 is essential for businesses seeking to engage in the defense sector, particularly in contracts involving NATO member countries. The standard helps ensure that products are reliable, meet stringent safety requirements, and are suitable for the defense context.
