What is BS EN 9320 - Guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management about?
There is an increasing requirement for systems designed and produced by industry, particularly in the aeronautic, space, and defence fields, to be used with other systems designed, produced, acquired, and operated independently.
BS EN 9320 is a British standard that discusses general guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management. BS EN 9320 guidelines cover the open system acquisition and supply processes.
BS EN 9320 deals specifically with the concept of open systems. To this end, through the various processes applied, it provides information to stakeholders (buyers, suppliers, designers, subcontractors, supervisors, etc.) on the best practice to be adopted.
BS EN 9320 is largely based on the structure and system life cycle processes described in ISO/IEC 15288:2008 .
The specific nature of openness for a system is defined by all the following properties interchangeability, interoperability, upgradability, reusability, reversibility, flexibility, and affordability.
