requirements and is used by personnel trained in the correct use of the
equipment, and the interpretation of results.

All calibration is performed in accordance with documented


procedures, defining the calibration methods. Calibration frequency,
acceptance criteria, and action taken if results are found to be
unsatisfactory, including the assessment of the validity of previous
inspection and test results.

product. Where customer specification requirements are affected,
customer authorization will be obtained, prior to release.

All waivers requested from supplier specifications will be treated as


non-conforming and will be subject to the requirements of this
procedure.
All non-conformance identified shall be reviewed and subject to
documented Corrective and Preventive action procedures.

DOC.NO. AYC-QA-P-001 53 OF 84

Assurance Manager shall authorize the removal of the “HOLD” tag.
e. In all cases where supplier’s product nonconformity is identified, a
NCR will be raised by the Quality Assurance Manager or his
nominee and the item or product shall be quarantined until action
has been taken and the NCR has been closed out.
f. A copy of the NCR will be returned to the supplier for action. The
supplier’s proposed corrective action shall be reviewed by the
relevant discipline Engineer and/or the Quality Manager. The
satisfactory completion of the corrective action will be verified by the

DOC.NO. AYC-QA-P-001 54 OF 84

shall be tagged “REJECTED” and shall be removed as soon as
possible from the work site and destroyed if and when necessary.
Rejected materials shall be kept in a suitable and properly delimited
segregation area until their final destination has been decided.
l. The QC Inspector shall inspect all rework against the original
standards or specifications and the original acceptance criteria shall
be used to verify the acceptability of the rework. The NCR will then
be signed-off when found to be acceptable. If the item has been
rework, the rework procedures will be noted on the NCR.

non-conforming and will be subject to the requirement of this
procedure.

The Management Team, as part of the Management Review agenda,


shall review, consistent with the policy of continuous improvement, all
corrective and preventive actions taken.
The quality plan should indicate the preventive and corrective actions
