GOST 15.309-98 — System of product development and launching into manufacture. Tests and acceptance of produced goods. Principal positions. (Russian: Система разработки и постановки продукции на производство. Испытания и приемка выпускаемой продукции. Основные положения.) This intergovernmental (GOST) standard establishes the principal provisions for organization and execution of testing and acceptance procedures applied to products released to manufacture under the system of product development and launching into production.

Abstract

This standard sets out the main principles and rules for planning, carrying out and documenting tests, as well as procedures for acceptance (commissioning, lot acceptance, type tests and acceptance by the customer) of manufactured goods within the product development and production-launch system. It defines responsibilities of manufacturers, customers and testing laboratories, requirements for test programs and metrological support needed to confirm product compliance with technical documentation and contractual requirements.

Scope

Applies to the organization of testing and acceptance of products released to series production under the system of product development and launching into manufacture. The standard provides general provisions that are intended to be supplemented by sector-, product- or contract-specific normative and technical documents (GOSTs, OSTs, technical specifications, and customer requirements). It is intended for use by manufacturers, testing laboratories, acceptance commissions and other bodies involved in verifying product conformity before transfer to the customer or serial production.

Key topics and requirements

• Fundamental principles for planning and organizing tests and acceptance of produced goods.
• Classification of tests (type tests, acceptance tests, lot/serial tests, control and arbitration tests).
• Requirements for test programs, test method documentation and test reports.
• Responsibilities and composition of acceptance commissions (manufacturer, customer, third-party experts).
• Sampling rules and criteria for acceptance of product lots or series.
• Metrological support and measurement assurance for tests (calibration, measurement traceability and uncertainty considerations).
• Recordkeeping, storage of test results and traceability of decisions on acceptance or rejection.

The standard includes provisions on metrological support and appendices referenced in training and metrology texts used by test laboratories.

Typical use and users

Used by product quality and conformity departments, test laboratories, manufacturers preparing product release documentation, acceptance commissions, contract managers, and regulators responsible for conformity assessment. Typical applications include acceptance of prototype lots, acceptance testing of production batches, planning of type and reliability tests, and establishing documentation required for handover to customers or for serial production release.
