Two standards, one common need: the ballooned drawing
Whether you work in automotive (PPAP AIAG) or aerospace (FAIR AS9102), you must produce a ballooned drawing with corresponding dimensional results. But the precise requirements differ significantly between the two sectors.
For a full overview of both standards, visit ppap-fai.approche-qualite.fr, the PPAP/FAIR/APQP expert guide.
Key differences: PPAP vs FAIR dimensional documentation
| Criteria | PPAP Element 9 | FAIR Form 3 AS9102 |
|---|---|---|
| Parts inspected | Sample (min. 30 for Run@Rate) | 1 representative part |
| Characteristic coverage | 100% of drawing characteristics | 100% of drawing characteristics |
| Capability required | Cpk ≥ 1.33 / Ppk ≥ 1.67 | Not required in Form 3 |
| Measurement device | To record (MSA required separately) | To record in Form 3 |
| Table format | Free (AIAG-compliant) | Standardised AS9102 Form 3 |
BullePlan: one tool for both PPAP and FAIR
BullePlan generates dimensional results tables compatible with both PPAP Element 9 and AS9102 Form 3: customisable Excel export for your customer templates, and normalised AS9102 PDF Form 3, with AI-assisted ballooning to ensure no characteristic is missed.
