What standards must be met for traceability in the aeronautics industry?
The aeronautical industry imposes strict standards in terms of marking and traceability.
The objective of these standards is to establish a rigorous framework for the marking of aeronautical components, ensuring accurate identification and effective traceability throughout the life cycle of the parts, while preserving the structural integrity of the components.
Rolls-Royce JES131 standards
This standard defines the methods and requirements for the marking and identification of components intended for the aerospace industry. It covers both human-readable and machine-readable markings, such as 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix codes.
Rolls-Royce RRES90003 and SAFRAN DT05-89 standards.
These standards describe, in particular, the authorised marking methods according to the specific applications of the components, but also the minimum authorised sizes in order to take into account the constraints and critical areas to be avoided.
SAE AS9132 standard
This standard specifies the requirements for marking aerospace parts using Data Matrix codes. It is widely used in the aerospace industry to ensure the legibility, durability and traceability of critical components.
