Qualified Products for M7885 and NAS9310
(OP)
I know Boeing and Airbus have Qualified Parts List (QPL) for parts approved to their standards such as BACR15FR or ASNA0078.
How can I demostrate that a vendor part number such as CR3553 actually meets or approved to M7885/8 or NAS9310M standard other than taking what the vendor says?

M7885/8 or NAS9310M are standard parts and are manufactured to a standard. The usual means to insure quality is to audit the company to ensure that they are in fact following requirements. Large companies such as Boeing can audit every company. But smaller companies usually can’t do that, but they have other options, such as using a third party auditors like C.A.S.E., AS9XXXX, and others, to do the audit for them.
Most large distributor’s either audit manufactures them self or use a third party auditor. In some authorities distributors are approved but in the U.S. it is voluntary.
For further info regarding FAA see AC 00-56A, 20-62D, and 21-20B.

It also depends on what you are using the product for and what authority the work is being done under.
An FAA DER can accept data/products, that may not be acceptable under a DND contract.

I know for some rivets and Hi-Loks one fastener can have different part numbers, (HLT***, BACB30**, 3D00**).
Plus, the OEM may have a spec a little bit higher than the NAS or MS specs to force no interchangeability. This forces the use of their fasteners.
