7.2.1.4 Access and Participation of the Acquirer

The supplier has to support the acquirer in every way in the evaluation of the software quality system and the verification and validation of the products. "The purchaser shall be afforded unrestricted opportunity to verify conformance of the supplies with contractual requirements. The support tools necessary for evaluation, verification and validation purposes shall be made available for reasonable use by the purchaser." These activities of the acquirer do not represent an acceptance in the legal sense and do not exonerate the supplier from his evaluation, verification and validation activities.

In the V-Modell the cooperation of the acquirer in the preparation and review of the contractually agreed performances may be stipulated in the »Contract. In the topic »Cooperation and Provisions of the Acquirer in the project manual the requirements from the AQAP-150 have to be agreed accordingly.
