Artificial Intelligence Policy: ASTM International prohibits the entry of ASTM standards and related ASTM intellectual property (“ASTM IP”) into any form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT. Additionally, creating ----derivatives of ASTM IP using AI is also prohibited without express written permission from ASTM’s President. In the case of such use, ASTM will suspend a licensee’s access to ASTM IP, and further legal action will be considered.
1. This specification provides a process by which the intended function and compliance with safety objectives of software used for commercial spaceflight may be verified by system-level testing. 2 Software and hardware development assurance are not in the scope of this specification and this specification should not be used if a development assurance process is required. 3 The specification intentionally does not attempt to define its own applicability with regard to which spacecraft systems verified by the specification may be applied as doing so could ultimately place the language of the specification in conflict with external requirements and guidance. Spacecraft applicability, intended use, and limitations must ultimately be determined by the designer, installer, and recognizing body. 4. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
