Aviation Safety Management

                          This National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411 was created by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) as an industry standard to manage hazardous material (HAZMAT) used in Products and Services. As appropriate, NAS411 requirements can be applied to all Products and Services lifecycle phases, e.g. Materiel Solution Analysis, Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, Production and Deployment, Operations and Support, and Disposal.                      The Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP) is the process to ensure appropriate consideration is given to the systematic identification, evaluation, elimination or minimization of HAZMAT risks to human health or the environment (including risks of violating related and applicable regulatory requirements), and to identify measures to appropriat...

                   Guidance for conducting a  Hazardous Material Management Program  (HMMP) is provided in National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411. The purpose of a HMMP is to provide measures for the elimination, reduction, or control of hazardous materials. A HMMP is composed of several tasks that complement an SSPP:  • HMMP Plan  • Cost analysis for material alternatives over the life cycle of the material  • Documented trade-off analyses  • Training  • HMMP Report                              NAS 411 is the commercial standard for contractors to reduce or eliminate hazardous material in all phases of a weapon system's life cycle. NAS 411 provides a flexible process for managing hazardous materials in the acquisition and life cycle of a weapon system. The standard will help reduce hazardous materials usage and the genera...
