ED Decision 2023/013/R

NON-CONFORMING ITEM CONTROL

All parts, materials and equipment that have been identified at any stage in the manufacturing process as not conforming to the specific design data should be suitably identified by clearly marking or labelling to indicate their non-conforming status.

All such non-conforming material or parts should be removed from the production area and held in a segregated area with restricted access until their appropriate disposition is determined.

The non-conformities, which cannot be solved by restoring full conformity with the design data, should be recorded and presented to the relevant design organisation for review and disposition.
The results of the review and actions taken consequently as regards the part/product should be recorded as well.
