Part Lifecycle Requirements

Overview

Part lifecycle requirements define the rules for how a part moves through its lifecycle stages, such as creation, qualification, release, change, and retirement. They describe what each stage means, which data must be complete, and which reviews or approvals are required before a part can move to the next stage.

These requirements support consistent part decisions, prevent use of parts in the wrong status, and maintain traceability across revisions. They help users apply the correct parts in design, manufacturing, and quality activities, and support compliance with regulatory and quality expectations.
