Hello everyone!
We recently had an "incredibly qualified" consultant perform Rev. C internal auditor training at one of our facilities. When it came to the topic of "delegation of verification activities to a supplier", this person maintained that this would include:
Any outside calibration houses
Any special processor
Any testing lab of raw materials
When I stated that I haven't seen the aerospace industry interpret the requirement that way, I was met with an icy stare and dismissed.
Doesn't this requirement only apply to purchased product (as in the title of the clause)? Is special processing a "product" or a service? Any thought on this?
I've always seen this requirement as a company is delegating the supplier's quality system as its own acceptance (inspection), where a log of approved inspectors are on file, etc. The company can issue its authority media (i.e. stamp) to the delegate for i.d. of acceptance, with a procedure in place for define supplier delegates.
