Hi Everyone,

At my last ISO9001 audit it was suggest on an OFI That I beef up my system for allocation of and authorisation to use the above stamps.
Could anyone suggest some measures I could put in my procedures to ensure the use of these stamps and the responsibility of the "stampers"
is outlined and taken seriously.

Regards
Richard

Am I correct in understanding that you currently use these stamps and have determined that the process has value in your processing?

As worded, it sounds as though the auditor may have observed improper or inconsistent use of the stamps by staff. Understanding that for final inspection, stamps are in lieu of personal signatures, but are no less of importance is a key point for staff to take to heart.

It's up to you to determine how formal you want the program, but you could have the stamps signed in and out just like custom tooling from locked box or cage storage. They are not trivial as in "rubber stamping" anything regardless of quality, but are to be used in a prescribed way to indicate conformity to a standard.

Just as hallmarks are stamped into finely crafted works only after passing required quality workmanship and materials have been wedded together, unique markings can be incorporated so each owner of a stamp can be recognized, thus allowing "ownership" of their stamp.
