Hello everyone.
According to QS9000 requirements, production part approvals, tooling records, purchase orders and ammendments shall be maintained for the life of the part plus one calandar year. Quality performance records, internal audits and management review records shall also be maintained, from 1-3 years depending on the record.
In our level 2 documentation, we have provided a schedule for record retention periods for different types of documents. According to our schedule, job instructions/quality inspection standards are maintained for at least one year after they are superceded. We show that this is a GM requirement.
My question(s) are, is this a GM Requirement? If so, where is this requirement located? If not, is there some other requirement that regulates the retention of these types of documents? If there is, what/where are the requirements?
Any help is most appreciated!
