The requirements in this document are for part manufacturers using additive manufacturing techniques and are independent of the used material and manufacturing method.
This document specifies criteria for AM relevant processes as well as quality-relevant characteristics and factors along the additive system operations and defines activities and sequences within an additive manufacturing production site.
This document is applicable to the additive manufacturing technologies defined in ISO/ASTM 52900 and defines quality assurance measures along the manufacturing process.
Environment, health and safety aspects are not covered comprehensively in this document. The corresponding content is addressed in the equipment manufacturer guidelines and ISO/ASTM 52931, ISO 275481), ISO/ASTM 52933 and ISO/ASTM 52938-12).
This document provides requirements that are additional to those provided by a quality management system (such as ISO 9001, ISO/TS 22163, ISO 19443, EN 9100, ISO 13485, IATF 16949).

Qualified AM’s contribution in setting ISO/ASTM 52920:2023

Initial Draft

The initial draft of the standard was initiated by Gregor Reischle in 2014 at EOS GmbH as part of the Additive Manufacturing Qualification (AMQ) program.

First Certifications

Between 2014 and 2017, the first certifications for EOS GmbH were conducted at Incodema (USA), 1zu1 Prototypen, Kuhnstoff, Ureal China, and other partners.

2018

In 2018, the first draft of DIN SPEC 17071 was developed in collaboration with TÜV SÜD. That same year, the initial draft of ISO/ASTM 52920 was also initiated. The work continued under the ISO/ASTM Joint Group 75 (JG75), with Convener serving as project manager. Gregor Reischle played a key role throughout the development process. The final publication of the standard was released in 2023.
