QS-9000 Sanctioned Interpretations

[Greg Cloerkes]

There seems to be some confusion about the latest sanctioned interpretations here in Europe. Carvin Continous is offering an new issue dated 1 Nov. 99 while the AIAG home page is still showing Jan. 99
1. Can somebody clearify this?
2. Where can I read the contest in the web?

What is "Carvin Continous"?

What "Contest"?

Interpretations info is at:
http://Elsmar.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000092.html

Carvin Continuous is the British (European) clearinghouse for AIAG QS9K publications. For instance, you can get the QSR in French, German, etc. for Carvin. However, I don't know about any "contest" nor do I know anything about Sanctioned Interpretations being released in Nov 99!

You must have missed Rea's 18 Nov 99 post indicating that 1 Nov 99 Sanctioned Interpretations were available at http://www.asq.org /standcert/qs-9000

Select "Official Publications", then "Santioned Interpretations.

I can see why this release is so easily missed: there's not much to it. In fact, most of the stuff belongs in a Registrar-specific requirements section. Thanks, Tom, for the reminder about Rea's post.

Another site to check is the http://www.qs-9000.org/ . This will give the latest IASG sanctioned interpretations and provides an e-mail address to send in your own questions for interpretations.
Note that the latest Nov. 99 interpretations provide suspension criteria to registrars for major nonconformities ("re-audits"). This information is used many times by Management Representatives to provide leverage in resolving internal issues.
