Hi Elsmar team members,
To me, the PPAP is the evidence for part approval process.
As we know there are 5 levels of PPAP...
Level 1: PSW with Appearance approval report. it is applicable for non critical product.
Whether the level 1 PPAP is applicable only for appearance part? Not functional part?
Level 2: PSW with product sample and limited supporting data specified by customer. Applicable for bulk material like painting, plastics, special fasteners…
Can we ask level 2 PPAP for plastic raw material suppliers like Basell, Dupont?
Level 3: PSW with product sample and complete supporting data specified by customer
Ya, we know it is default level. but can we use level 3 PPAP for safety critical products like brake system, fuel tanks???
Level 4: PSW and other requirements as mentioned by customer.
what does it mean level 4 PPAP? whenwe can go for level 4 PPAP? pls share specific answer.
Level 5: PSW with product sample and complete supporting data reviewed at supplier mfg location
Is it applicable for only safety critical products? am i right?
Pls share your right views.
Thanks a lot, Harikrishnan
