On 25 June Isdefe hosted a workshop on “Configuration Management”, organised by the Spanish Association for Quality’s Committee of Defence Industries and Services.

The application of PECAL entails configuration management intended to ensure a product conforms to contractual requirements while synchronising the technical information needed over its entire life cycle.
