When you say "Documents", are you referring to Records and their retention time? If so, ISO/TS 16949:2009 does not specify actual retention periods for records. The AIAG PPAP manual provides more specifics and the rest is up to your organization and the applicable customer requirements.

Do you mean the TS guideline? Or our own workplace guidelines?

TS 16949 has no specifics, only says "A documented procedure shall be established to define the controls needed..." and goes on to list types of controls. We determine retention methods and time frames based on customer requirements, our own needs to refer to history, regulatory requirements, etc.

Thanks for the reply

Its ok if specific requirement as per different Functions document ( HR,Finance,Engineering,Quality,Lab & so on) do not exist.

It means that i have to consider Our own requirement,Customer requirement & Regulatory requirement.

One more help - If record is system generated,is it required to mention the retention period for the same.

See previous posts. Reports are often maintained as records. It does not matter if they are generated by a computer system (electronic) or manual (hard copy). The rest is up to you.

As a rule, decision regarding retention (or disposal) of documents/ records (especially the S&R ones) should be based on risk analysis. Question yourself as to what can happen if the records/ documents are not retained.

We never dispose off such documents since no body knows at which point of time these docs/ records are asked for/ referred to. It's not much troublesome to archive/ hard bind and keep them in safe custody.

Hi samsung,
Thank you very much for your immediate reply.
In understand the need however, if we will retain this documents/records forever, we will have a problem for storage, as you can see our company is not that big to store all of those documents and records.
