Specification control
I have a special situation regarding specification control when the specifications are not yours. Company A does contract design work for Company B. "B" maintains a website where all specifications are maintained and developed. "A" has access to this site as they perform their contract design service for "B". When a finished design is delivered to "B", it is, of course, on the web site. "A" occasionally prints out hard copies of drawings they have worked on. They file them, scribble notes on them, etc. (You know how engineers can be!). There is no chance that these filed hard copies will be used to produce the part, etc. The controlled drawings are on the web site, and they are controlled by "B". "A's" offices are separate from "B's"
Question: Is "A" required to mark their hard copies of "B's" drawings as "uncontrolled copy"? I think not, but would like to hear some comments and opinions on this.
