Quality in engineering services is mostly traceability: whether a claim about a design can be connected to the evidence that supports it. That is what a qualification programme produces, what a safety case rests on, and what an audit years later actually asks for.
This describes engineering capability against these frameworks. Certifications currently held are confirmed at enquiry, because certification status changes and a stale claim on a website is worse than no claim.
| Framework | Domain | Applies to |

| IEC 61508 | Industrial | Functional safety, SIL 1 to 4 |
| IEC 62304 | Medical | Medical device software lifecycle |
| ISO 13485 | Medical | Quality management for medical devices |
| DO-254 / DO-178C | Airborne | Hardware and software design assurance |
| EN 50128 / 50129 | Rail | Railway software and system safety |
| JEDEC / JESD47 | General | Semiconductor reliability qualification |
Faststream is a United States company with an engineering centre in India, and some programmes carry restrictions on where work may be performed and by whom. Defence and dual-use engagements in particular may be subject to export control regimes.
Rather than treat this as an obstacle discovered mid-programme, it is established at scoping: which regime applies, what it permits, which location performs which work, and what technology transfer is and is not allowed. Programmes are then structured to comply by design rather than by exception.
Where a requirement cannot be met — a clearance not held, a jurisdiction not available — that is stated at the outset. A supplier who discovers a compliance problem after award has created a worse problem than declining would have.
Certifications currently held are confirmed at enquiry. This page describes engineering capability against the relevant frameworks, because certification status changes and an out-of-date claim on a website is worse than no claim.
It is established at scoping — which regime applies, what it permits, which location performs which work, and what technology transfer is allowed — so programmes are structured to comply by design. Where a requirement cannot be met, that is said at the outset.
Each requirement traced to a design element, a verification activity and a result, with scripts, tool versions and inputs versioned so any signoff result can be regenerated later. It is what an audit actually asks for.
Tell us the specification, the constraint and the deadline. Programmes that cross silicon, radio, embedded and AI are where Faststream is strongest.
