Re: Handling of Obsolete Material Instruction
Obsolete and Non-Conforming are not necessarily the same thing. If you're holding the obsolete material to the current standard, then it may very well be. However, it was likely conforming to the standard as it existed when it was being used. It may be useful for service of product or the occassional order for an obsolete product, if you do that.
Bottom line, if it met your requirements until your requirements changed, it's not really Non-Conforming. It's just Obsolete. I would treat the two separately (and we do at our company).
