Special Process: Plating System Assessment
Version 3, Issued 9/19
PROCESS TABLE A - Zinc & Zinc Alloy PlatingAll requirements given below are
subordinate to applicable customer/OEM specific requirements.
The customer may have additional requirements, e.g., inspection testing, greater
frequencies, etc. When performing the job audit, the auditor shall verify plater is
conforming to customer requirements.
*If minimum requirements are not met, provide supporting records to justify actual
conditions. To justify reduced monitoring frequencies, a minimum of 30 consecutive
measurements (data points) at stated frequencies must be documented.
If any data points at reduced monitoring frequencies are outside of control limits,
then revert back to the frequencies stated under the minimum requirements.
Columns H and I are used for the Job Audit (Section 4).
Regularly scheduled measurements (e.g., temperature, concentrations, pH) are to be
entered in the appropriate row.
For sections that are not applicable mark NA in the Comments column.
Instruction for creating the table with the form builder:
Using the Populate Forms list to the right, select the box that represents the
first step of the process flow.
Then select the Populate Forms banner and that section of the process table will be
added below.
For each additional step of the process flow, continue adding sections to the form
by selecting the applicable step from the list to the right, followed by selecting
the Populate Forms banner.
Rinses between process steps are to be included.
If using multiple counter flowed rinses only insert one Rinse section, document
only the condition of the last rinse tank in the series.

PROCESS TABLE A - Zinc & Zinc Alloy PlatingAll requirements given below are
subordinate to applicable customer/OEM specific requirements.
The customer may have additional requirements, e.g., inspection testing, greater
frequencies, etc. When performing the job audit, the auditor shall verify plater is
conforming to customer requirements.
*If minimum requirements are not met, provide supporting records to justify actual
conditions. To justify reduced monitoring frequencies, a minimum of 30 consecutive
measurements (data points) at stated frequencies must be documented.
If any data points at reduced monitoring frequencies are outside of control limits,
then revert back to the frequencies stated under the minimum requirements.
Columns H and I are used for the Job Audit (Section 4).
Regularly scheduled measurements (e.g., temperature, concentrations, pH) are to be
entered in the appropriate row.
For sections that are not applicable mark NA in the Comments column.
Instruction for creating the table with the form builder:
Using the Populate Forms list to the right, select the box that represents the
first step of the process flow.
Then select the Populate Forms banner and that section of the process table will be
added below.
For each additional step of the process flow, continue adding sections to the form
by selecting the applicable step from the list to the right, followed by selecting
the Populate Forms banner.
Rinses between process steps are to be included.
If using multiple counter flowed rinses only insert one Rinse section, document
only the condition of the last rinse tank in the series.

PROCESS TABLE A - Zinc & Zinc Alloy PlatingAll requirements given below are
subordinate to applicable customer/OEM specific requirements.
The customer may have additional requirements, e.g., inspection testing, greater
frequencies, etc. When performing the job audit, the auditor shall verify plater is
conforming to customer requirements.
*If minimum requirements are not met, provide supporting records to justify actual
conditions. To justify reduced monitoring frequencies, a minimum of 30 consecutive
measurements (data points) at stated frequencies must be documented.
If any data points at reduced monitoring frequencies are outside of control limits,
then revert back to the frequencies stated under the minimum requirements.
Columns H and I are used for the Job Audit (Section 4).
Regularly scheduled measurements (e.g., temperature, concentrations, pH) are to be
entered in the appropriate row.
For sections that are not applicable mark NA in the Comments column.
Instruction for creating the table with the form builder:
Using the Populate Forms list to the right, select the box that represents the
first step of the process flow.
Then select the Populate Forms banner and that section of the process table will be
added below.
For each additional step of the process flow, continue adding sections to the form
by selecting the applicable step from the list to the right, followed by selecting
the Populate Forms banner.
Rinses between process steps are to be included.
If using multiple counter flowed rinses only insert one Rinse section, document
only the condition of the last rinse tank in the series.

frequencies, etc. When performing the job audit, the auditor shall verify plater is
conforming to customer requirements.
*If minimum requirements are not met, provide supporting records to justify actual
conditions. To justify reduced monitoring frequencies, a minimum of 30 consecutive
measurements (data points) at stated frequencies must be documented.
If any data points at reduced monitoring frequencies are outside of control limits,
then revert back to the frequencies stated under the minimum requirements.
Columns H and I are used for the Job Audit (Section 4).
Regularly scheduled measurements (e.g., temperature, concentrations, pH) are to be
entered in the appropriate row.
For sections that are not applicable mark NA in the Comments column.
Instruction for creating the table with the form builder:
Using the Populate Forms list to the right, select the box that represents the
first step of the process flow.
Then select the Populate Forms banner and that section of the process table will be
added below.
For each additional step of the process flow, continue adding sections to the form
by selecting the applicable step from the list to the right, followed by selecting
the Populate Forms banner.
Rinses between process steps are to be included.
If using multiple counter flowed rinses only insert one Rinse section, document
only the condition of the last rinse tank in the series.

The customer may have additional requirements, e.g., inspection testing, greater

requirements.
*If minimum requirements are not met, provide supporting records to justify actual

measurements (data
