GSE is allowed to be built to industry/best commercial practices as long as the right checks & balances are there. You kind of forgot about the proof load cert with RFU tag (for lift, MEOP etc) but that's ok. You also forgot about the approved suppliers list where current ISO 9001 or AS9100 registration is a DoD requirement, but that's ok too. Bottom line, DoD can't move to COTS fast enough to get under the ISO/AS9100 umbrella and ditch outdated Mil Specs altogether.
