The EUROSPACE Product Assurance (PA) Panel, an active body of senior representatives from aerospace industry gathered to interact with the European Space Agency (ESA) on standards and requirements, is described. Comments on Procedures, Specifications, and Standards-01 (PSS-01) requirements, as well as actual implementation in Ariane 5, Columbus, and Hermes, are presented. A tendency towards overspecification and demand for bureaucratic tasks must be avoided, and the international competitiveness of the space industry in non ESA projects enhanced. Recommendations towards this aim and improved collaboration between ESA and industry are made.
