TS EN ISO 10007

TS EN ISO 10007 is a guideline standard for configuration management within quality management. It provides a practical framework for identifying product, system, or process elements, controlling changes, and aligning those activities with other management systems in industrial environments.

Where configuration management fits in quality management

Configuration management is the discipline that defines what a product or system consists of, which version is current, and how changes are recorded and controlled. In practice, it helps keep requirements, technical definitions, drawings, software releases, revision records, and approval workflows consistent. This standard treats the subject not just as product control, but as a management interface with quality management and other procedures.

How the standard structures the subject

The document first provides a management overview and then describes the configuration management process, organization, and detailed procedures. In general technical terms, this means considering configuration identification, change control, status accounting, and verification/traceability as connected activities. The aim is to manage technical change so that product integrity is preserved and all relevant parties work from the same controlled information base.
