7.3 Design and development

7.3.1 General guidance

Top management should ensure that the organization has defined, implemented and maintained the necessary design and development processes to respond effectively and efficiently to the needs and expectations of its customers and other interested parties. When designing and developing products or processes, management should ensure that the organization is not only capable of considering their basic performance and function, but all factors that contribute to meeting the product and process performance expected by customers and other interested parties. For example, the organization should consider life cycle, safety and health, testability, usability, user-friendliness, dependability, durability, ergonomics, the environment, product disposal and identified risks.

7.2 Customer-related processes

7.2.1 Determination of requirements related to the product

The organization shall determine a requirements specified by the customer, including the requirements for delivery and post-delivery activities, b requirements not stated by the customer but necessary for specified or intended use, where known, c statutory and regulatory requirements related to the product, and d any additional requirements determined by the organization.

7.2.2 Review of requirements related to the product

The organization shall review the requirements related to the product. This review shall be conducted prior to the organizations commitment to supply a product to the customer e.g. submission of tenders, acceptance of contracts or orders, acceptance of changes to contracts or orders and shall ensure that a product requirements are defined, b contract or order requirements differing from those previously expressed are resolved, and c the organization has the ability to meet the defined requirements. Records of the results of the review and actions arising from the review shall be maintained. Where the customer provides no documented statement of requirement, the customer requirements shall be confirmed by the organization before acceptance. Where product requirements are changed, the organization shall ensure that relevant documents are amended and that relevant personnel are made aware of the changed requirements. NOTE In some situations, such as internet sales, a formal review is impractical for each order. Instead the review can cover relevant product information such as catalogues, or advertising material.

Risk assessment should be undertaken to assess the potential for, and the effect of, possible failures or faults in products or processes. The results of the assessment should be used to define and implement preventive actions to mitigate the identified risks. Examples of tools for risk assessment of design and development include — design fault modes and effects analysis, — fault tree analysis, — reliability prediction, — relationship diagrams, — ranking techniques, and — simulation techniques.
