St SAE TS202AR-13-2017 — Amendment Record (AR‑13) for SAE TS202-13, Qualification Test Requirements & Procedures for Aerospace Industry Standard Parts. This document records the thirteenth amendment to Technical Specification TS202, providing administrative corrections, clarifications to test procedures and acceptance criteria, and references to the revised test methods where applicable.

Abstract

This amendment record (TS202AR-13) updates the TS202 technical specification published in 2017. It identifies changes to test procedure language, correction of typographical or cross‑reference errors, and clarifies applicability of certain qualification steps for aerospace industry standard parts. TS202AR-13 is intended to be used alongside the base TS202-13 specification and does not replace the main document; instead it amends or annotates specific paragraphs and test requirements.

General information

• Status: Active / Revised (Amendment record published as part of the TS202 series).
• Publication date: August 24, 2017 (amendment issued in 2017 concurrent with the TS202-13 revision).
• Publisher: SAE International / SAE Industry Technologies Consortia (issued under SAE technical standards program).
• ICS / categories: Aerospace engineering; test methods and qualification procedures; parts and components qualification; standards and conformity assessment.
• Edition / version: Amendment record AR‑13 to TS202 (2017).
• Number of pages: Amendment records are typically short (1–4 pages). The base TS202-13 specification is 18 pages; the AR document itself is concise.

Scope

TS202AR-13 provides the formal amendment entries that modify or clarify specific clauses of SAE TS202-13. The scope of the amendment is limited to corrections, editorial clarifications, procedural notes, and any narrowly targeted changes to test acceptance criteria or referenced methods necessary to keep the TS202 qualification procedures current and unambiguous for use in aerospace standard parts qualification. It must be read and applied together with the full TS202-13 specification.

Key topics and requirements

• Administrative corrections and editorial clarifications to TS202-13 wording.
• Clarified test procedure steps and sequencing for qualification of aerospace standard parts.
• Updated references to normative test methods and standards where applicable.
• Notes on applicability and exceptions for specific part families or test conditions.
• Instructions for how amendment items are to be incorporated into procurement and quality documentation.

Typical use and users

Used by aerospace OEMs, parts manufacturers and suppliers, procurement and quality assurance teams, test laboratories, and conformity assessment bodies who perform or witness qualification testing of industry standard parts for aerospace applications. These users apply TS202-13 together with AR‑13 to ensure test procedures and acceptance criteria are consistent with the latest SAE technical clarifications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: TS202AR-13 is the thirteenth amendment record to SAE TS202 (the technical specification that defines qualification test requirements and procedures for aerospace industry standard parts). It documents specific corrections and clarifications to the TS202-13 edition published in 2017.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers targeted amendments — editorial corrections, clarifications to test steps, updates to referenced test methods, and instructions on how the changes are to be incorporated into the base TS202-13 document. It does not replace the base specification but modifies particular clauses as noted in the amendment.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers, procurement and quality managers, test labs, and engineering staff responsible for qualifying industry standard parts for aerospace applications. It is used in conjunction with TS202-13 during design, qualification, and supplier approval activities.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The AR‑13 entry amends the TS202-13 2017 edition. Users should verify they have the latest TS202 base document plus any subsequent amendment records; as of the 2017 revision the amendment record AR‑13 is part of the active TS202 package. Always confirm with SAE International or the SAE Mobilus catalogue for any later revisions or superseding documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — TS202AR-13 is an amendment record within the TS202 series of documents. SAE issues amendment records (AR) for many technical specifications to track incremental corrections and clarifications; these ARs are intended to be applied to the numbered TS document they reference.
