It should be noted that the full programme described in this standard would only be applied to a major complex product with the potential for long-term usage. For less complex maintainable products, a simpler programme should be adopted by tailoring the programme to suit the degree of complexity and the requirements of the customer.

Contracts between customer and supplier will vary widely according to conditions and circumstances in different industries. This standard is written on the premise that a product is to be developed by a contractor from a basic concept for the particular requirements of a user when the product is considered to be a development item (DI).
