Hardware Accomplishment Summary
HASSection 09: Hardware Certification (DO-254)
Definition
The final summary document for DO-254 hardware certification, providing evidence that all planned hardware design assurance activities have been completed and that the hardware item satisfies its requirements and is safe for its intended function. The HAS is submitted to the certification authority as part of the final certification data package.
Where This Shows Up
The HAS consolidates the results of the entire DO-254 lifecycle, referencing the evidence produced during requirements capture, design, implementation, verification, configuration management, and process assurance activities. It addresses compliance with each applicable DO-254 objective, summarizes open problem reports and their dispositions, documents any deviations from the PHAC, and provides a compliance statement. The HAS is the certification authority's primary reference for evaluating the completeness and adequacy of the hardware design assurance effort.
