JAXA microcircuit, hybrid and semiconductor parts general qualification, quality conformance inspection (QCI) and screening requirements are based on the NASDA-QTS-38510A, NASDA-QTS-1025A and NASDA-QTS-19500A specifications, respectively. JAXA Space Component Engineering Center reviews manufacturer's materials and processes documentation, applicable test-specification, test data, and evaluation report.

The parts manufactured by various Japanese companies that are listed in the JAXA QPL/QML and NASA Parts Selection List (NPSL), are fabricated, assembled and tested in Japan. EEE parts for JAXA’s space systems applications are based on two levels of reliability and quality assurance levels: Class I and Class II. Class I parts are applied to systems, subsystems or equipment, which the JAXA project office has determined to be critical. For applications not requiring Class I parts, Class II parts are used. The detailed information about JAXA manufacturers may be found from the JAXA Database of Qualifed EEE Parts and Materials.

NOTE: Unless specifically stated within the parts selection tables of the NPSL, listing of a device technology herein does NOT imply/guarantee Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA). Applications concerned with a device's ability to tolerate exposure to various forms of space radiation (e.g., total ionizing dose, single event effects, etc.) should be reviewed and have the device assessed by the Program's radiation assurance experts.
