Hello All,
I posed the following situation under the AS9100 category and am reposting here, hopefully for further detailed response.
We are a contract manufacturer for electronics assembly, with AS9100C/ISO9001:2008 certification. Recently, we received a corrective action request from a non-aerospace customer that wanted to know why we performed a "repair" on a board without first obtaining their approval.
I could not find any specific terms or requirements from the customer that requires notification before performing the repair. My management felt that because they are not an aerospace customer, AS9100C clause 8.3 Control of Nonconforming Product - "disposition of use-as-is or repair shall only be used after approval by an authorized representative of the organization responsible for design" does not apply to them.
My long-winded question is, does ISO 9001:2008 specifically require obtaining approval from design organization prior to repair?
Thanks in advance for any help.
