The TOU is the Telescope Optical Unit for the PLATO ESA mission, consisting of the opto-mechanical unit for each of the 26 Cameras of which PLATO is composed. The TOU is currently in the manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing (MAIT) phase for the Proto Flight Model (PFM) and for Flight Models (FMs). We present the design processes as seen from the Product Assurance (PA) point of view: PA aims at monitoring the design and addresses specific issues related to, among others, materials and processes (these shall be suitable for the purpose and for the life-time of the mission), cleanliness and contamination control (to limit the loss of optical performance), safety, monitoring of qualifications/validations. PA supports the project in failure-proofing aspects to mitigate criticalities, e.g. in the elaboration of non-conformances and deviations that can arise during the design and MAIT process, and/or are highlighted during the reviews for manufacturing, test, and delivery of the related hardware. PA ensures early detection of potential problems and risks for the TOU and arranges for corrective actions that aim at improving the likelihood of success of the mission.
