A different question here.
I know we are required to keep PPAP info for Life of Active Part +1 Year. My question is: We do not manufacture the part, we apply a coating or plating. Are we responsible to maintain a "Master Sample" of the PPAP'd part, or are we responsible for maintaining the PPAP information (i.e. salt spray result, plate thickness etc.).
My predessor has 5 samples (2 tested, 3 untested) kept for all PPAP'd parts. Since we only apply the plating I don't feel that it is our responsibility to keep the parts, only the info.
