This Quality Manual incorporates the listed ISO Quality Management Systems Requirements. Organization's Divisions shall certify to only the ISO standard[s]that -e. apply to the specific Business Unit's activities. In addition, various BAE System's .e Products Group entities may not perform all of the functions required by the applicable ISO Quality Management System Requirements. Where certain functions are not ›- t, performed, exclusion for audit purposes and conformance is accepted. Third party audits plans should include awareness of any exclusion applicable to the audit. 0 .c.61 0 0 ,c The soft Body Armor and the Ballistic Engineering Systems laboratory have a dedicated n Quality Manual that conforms to the NIST National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program, the NIJ Compliance Testing Program.
