Performance Review Institute Qualified Products Listing
January 30, 2014
Definitions
• QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST (QPL): A listing of products from manufacturers who have received a PRI product qualification to a specific aerospace standard for specific product designations and plant locations.
• QUALIFIED PRODUCT GROUP (QPG): A committee mandated by the QPMC responsible for assessing whether manufacturer's products comply with the relevant aerospace standard. The committee is composed of members from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government Agencies.
• QUALIFIED PRODUCT MANAGEMENT COUNCIL (QPMC): The committee that manages the Qualified Product Process/Program.

PRI QPL Program Background
QPL - A document which lists qualified manufacturers who have met the product qualification test requirements to a specified industry standard for specific part numbers and plant locations
1996 1998 2014Pilot program Industry Managed
PRI QPL Program
DoD Acquisition Reform Military specifications with QPL’s
posed a problem for non-government
standards to convert
Preserve value-added aerospace specification requirements
PRI championed pilot program, with
organizational concept SAE committee volunteers
Pilot program success PRI QPL program formally
established Standard Development
Organization (SDO) guidelines created and
approved by SAE Aerospace Council -
1999
More than 30,000
products/parts 8 active Qualified Product Groups

Purpose of the Aerospace QPL Program
• Maintain a list of manufacturer’s critical products where those products have been qualified as meeting specific industry standards.
• To manage the review process of submitted data and other materials reviewed by the QPG.
4
Motivation
• Users (OEMs/Government/Airlines)– Collaboration with other OEMs/Government/Airlines– Reduce costs by reduced need for in-house/outside lab testing– Uses consistent qualification procedures/standards– Maximize competition without the loss of quality– Avoid cost associated with maintaining User QPLs (testing,
qualification, administration)• Suppliers
– Typically lower costs than when qualifying products to User standards/specifications
– Utilize initial qualification data to a wider industry base– Eliminate redundant testing and qualification processes– Ensure fairness among suppliers– Utilize consistent approach to qualification of product
