First Article Inspection is part of AS9145, Requirements for Advanced Product Quality Planning and Production Part Approval Process (APQP/PPAP), Phase 4 and is a required document for APQP/PPAP approval. See Production Part Approval Process.
The PPAP process is designed to demonstrate that a supplier has developed their design and production process to meet the client's requirements, minimizing the risk of failure by effective use of APQP. Requests for part approval must therefore be supported in official PPAP format and with documented results when needed.
Although individual manufacturers have their own particular requirements, the AIAG has developed a common PPAP standard [27] as part of the advanced product quality planning (APQP) process to encourage the use of common terminology and standard forms to document project status. The PPAP process is designed to demonstrate that the component ...

International Automotive Task Force 16949 (IATF 16949) is an international standard for automotive management systems that is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the automotive sector.
Advanced Product Quality Planning; Environment, Health, and Safety; Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points; Production Part Approval Process; Enterprise Quality Management Software. The intersection of technology and quality management software prompted the emergence of a new software category: Enterprise Quality Management Software (EQMS).
Prior to development of AS 9100 standards for Quality Management Systems, the U.S. military applied two specifications to supplier quality and inspection programs, respectively, MIL-Q-9858A [6] Quality Program Requirements, and MIL-I-45208A Military Specification: Inspection System Requirements. [7]
