17、sts.5.2 A permanent record shall be maintained of the date ofacceptance, the origin, and the certifications of materials usedin the production of airframe components defined by themanufacturer to be critical to the aircraft structural integrity(see Note 1).NOTE 1The intent of this requirement is to

18、provide a means for themanufacturer to identify and reduce the number of in-service aircraft thatmay be affected by a raw material anomaly requiring corrective action,thereby reducing the economic impact of such corrective action. Thisrequirement should not be construed as a requirement for serial n

19、umberspecific traceability nor a requirement to identify critical parts whennone exist.6. Engineering, Design, and Manufacture6.1 Record of ComplianceThe manufacturer shall keep apermanent record of the documentation used to show compli-ance of each approved aircraft configuration produced to allapp

20、licable consensus standards and regulatory requirements ineffect at the time of manufacture.6.2 Configuration Control and Change Management:6.2.1 Revisions to documentation affecting compliance shallbe tracked and the change process for developing, reviewing,and incorporating revisions to compliance

21、 documentation shallbe controlled.6.2.2 The manufacturer must insure and verify the use of theproper revision of any compliance document.6.3 Production DocumentationThe manufacturer shallmaintain a permanent record of all production documentationpertinent to product compliance, including revisions.

22、Produc-tion documentation shall include, but may not be limited to, thefollowing types of documents:6.3.1 Parts lists.6.3.2 Component and assembly engineering drawings (en-gineering definition).6.3.3 Manufacturing processes.6.3.4 Specifications.6.3.5 Tooling and gage identification.6.3.6 Aircraft Op

24、rolled as compliance/production documentation in accordance with Section 6.6.4 Special ProcessesA system shall be implemented tocontrol all special processes and services related to the pro-duction of airframe components considered by the manufac-turer to be critical to the structural integrity of t

25、he LSA, suchas welding, brazing, heat treatment, plating, structuralcomposites, adhesive bonding, and so forth. The system shallensure that each process and service is performed in accor-dance with approved specifications containing definitive stan-dards of quality, and that periodic inspection and

26、calibration ofmeasuring and test equipment, solutions, or any critical equip-ment is controlled and documented.7. Material Control7.1 Material control procedures shall be in effect so thatmaterials, processes, and components, including raw materials,are in accordance with the manufacturers applicabl

27、e specifi-cations.7.2 Purchasing personnel must use an established procure-ment procedure that ensures that requirements for all itemsordered are clearly specified.7.3 Receiving procedures shall be in effect so that incomingmaterial and components are checked against applicable speci-fications.7.4 A

28、 procedure shall be in effect so that material in stockcan be properly identified for future use.7.5 For outsourced processes or manufacturing/fabrication,the supplier shall provide verification that the work or itemmeets the LSA manufacturers specifications.8. Inspections8.1 Manufacturers shall imp

29、lement and document a systemof inspections to verify conformity of product to all applicableengineering requirements and production specifications.8.2 Conforming, non-conforming, in-process, and itemsawaiting inspection must be separated or clearly distinguish-able.8.3 Receiving InspectionIncoming i

30、tems provided by out-side vendors shall be inspected for conformity to applicablespecifications.8.4 Conforming items shall be distributed as required forimmediate use or placed in a secure storage area for future use.8.5 Items found to be nonconforming shall either be evalu-ated by a Material Review

31、 Board (MRB) in accordance withSection 9 or rejected in accordance with 9.2.8.6 Sampling plans may be utilized so that full inspection ofevery part is not required, provided that adequate controls arein place on underlying processes or supply sources to provideassurance of conformity.9. Material Rev

32、iew Board and Non-Conforming Items9.1 A Material Review Board (MRB) may be established bythe manufacturer to determine the disposition of non-conforming items, and shall consist of one or more manufac-turer designated technical representatives.9.1.1 MRB representatives shall be identified within the

33、QAM.F2972 1229.1.2 If analysis, additional inspection, functional checks,repair, rework, and so forth assures that an item meets all of therelevant design requirements, the MRB may authorize its usein the production of a LSA. Otherwise, the item must berejected in accordance with 9.2.9.1.3 The manuf

34、acturer shall keep a permanent recordshowing the disposition of non-conforming items that havebeen evaluated by the MRB.9.2 A process for disposing of items found to be unusabledue to damage, shelf life limits, dimensional, or other varia-tions must be defined and implemented. A rejected item mustbe

35、 mutilated, disposed of, or sufficiently marked as rejected toensure that it is not used in the production of a LSA. A rejectedcomponent may be placed in a reserved holding area for futuredisposition or disposal.10. Assignment of QA Duties and Responsibilities10.1 Manufacturers may assign QA duties

36、and responsibili-ties to outside parties for the purpose of establishing satellitemanufacturing, assembly, distribution facilities, contractmanufacturing/ processing, or a combination thereof.10.2 In the case of assignment, the manufacturer retainsoverall QA responsibility for the accomplishment of

37、theseactivities.10.3 All assignment authorizations must be documentedwithin the QAM.11. Audits11.1 Manufacturers shall conduct an audit of their QASusing a documented audit program prior to the initial deliveryof a new model and at least annually thereafter. Practice F2839may be used to establish mi

38、nimum requirements of theprogram.11.2 A record shall be maintained of all annual audits.11.3 Any determination of non-compliance shall be re-solved and a revision to the QAS shall be made if necessary toaddress any anomalies found.12.
