Debate about the retention period of Records.
This is the Customer Specific Requirements of Continental. Kindly interpret what does it mean.
"The Supplier shall be obligated to document and maintain Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, annual layout and validation records, tooling records, traceability records, engineering records, corrective action records, quality performance records and inspection and test results. in minimum the listed documents shall be archived over at least 15 years after Continental production has been terminated and tooling scrap authorization has been granted. Records shall be available to Continental upon request. The above periods are considered "minimum". All retention times shall meet or exceed the above requirements and any governmental requirements."
I undertand that counting of 15 years is after the transaction of continental to us, been terminated.
