All Comments that were received were reviewed and resolved. All comments and resulting resolution can be found in the above document. The AC7118 Rev B will be sent for ballot again.

Allow forming of core in non EMA/CCA if vacuum bagged prior to removal from EMA/CCA.

Motion was made to remove timers from 15a.7.11 thus not requiring calibration. Motion passed overwhelmingly.

Allow ‘demonstration parts’ as a 4^th option for a job audit. This may be needed for a supplier that wants to maintain accreditation while waiting for award of a quote. TG defined a Demonstration Part as follows: ‘Non production Aerospace part that demonstrates compliance to the audit criteria within the scope of AC7118.’ This definition will be located in the Audit Handbook.

In the event that demonstration parts are used to meet the 50% job audit criteria, supplier merit may be impacted.

Removed requirement for a procedure to control expendable materials. Retained, “Is the supplier using the correct expendables and controlling them?”

This agenda item was tabled and will be dealt with via a conference call.

The Composites Task Group was approached and asked to discuss how the AC7118 can be modified to allow the identification of testing capabilities. The current structure of the AC7118 does not identify a specific test method or test code capability but it does loosely audit the captive laboratory. Four options were discussed and are detailed below.

A restructure of the AC7122 will be necessary regardless of the direction the Task Group decides to go in. There will be a slash sheet for each test type, similar to MTL AC7101, rather than the current method where each slash sheet represents a different material type. Slash sheets for AC7122 will be: /1= mechanical, /2= physical, /3= chemical, /4=thermal/analytical, /5=fire. All job audits in the AC7122/1 and /2 will remain as they are currently written but will be moved into the respective slash sheets. This modification will be balloted in the next ballot cycle of the AC7122 documents.



Option 1

AC7118 remains as is with sections 10 and 23 remaining. An N/A will be added for sections 10 and 23 when a Supplier has AC7122/6 accreditation. Test portions will be removed from AC7124.

AC7122 slash sheets will be: /1= mechanical, /2= physical, /3= chemical, /4=thermal/analytical, /5=fire, /6= Part manufacturing testing labs, /7-Raw Material Manufacturing Testing labs. Different test codes will exist for Independent Labs (the currently test codes will be used), Part Manufacturing Labs (a.1.1, a.1.2, etc.) and Raw Material Manufacturing Labs (aa.1.1, aa.1.2, etc.). The same job audits will be used. Only the test codes will be different to allow unique identification of an Independent Test Lab, Part Manufacturing Lab or Raw Material Manufacturing Lab.

Option 2

AC7118 remains as is with sections 10 and 23 remaining. An N/A will be added for sections 10 and 23 when a Supplier has AC7122 accreditation. Test portions will be removed from AC7124.

A set of different test codes will be created to allow unique identification of a Part Manufacturing Lab. AC7122 would be used to accredit Independent Test Labs and Raw Material Manufacturing Labs.

Option 3

AC7118 existing job audits in section 23 will be expanded by adding additional, slightly more specific questions. Section 10 will include a tabled list of test codes. Only assign a test code to show capability. Actual test standard/customer specification audited will be listed in job audit details.

A set of different test codes will be created to allow unique identification of a Part Manufacturing Lab. AC7122 would be used to accredit Independent Test Labs and Raw Material Manufacturing Labs.

Option 4

Duplicate the AC7122/1, etc. job audits into an appendix of AC7118 (can also title the appendix TEST). Suppliers will be certified to AC7118 and the created appendix with the test codes that are already defined in AC7122.

TG reviewed topic and decided to go forward with development of hot compression molding scope to be included with AC7118 Rev C. AC7118 Rev B will be released first and then the revisions necessary for the addition of Compression Molding will begin.

Topic will be included in agenda for February 2010 meeting.

ACTION ITEM: Tara Campbell [Lead], Andreas Mastorakis, Lance Loeks, Pete Atwell and John Key to set up telecom to discuss addition of compression molding to AC7118. (DUE DATE, 18-Dec-09)

11.0 NEXT STEPS FOR AC7118 (OPEN)

The AC7118 Rev B will be released before the scope of Compression Molding will be added and AC7118 Rev C balloted. Discussions need to take place and decisions need to be made before an estimated timeline can be projected for the implementation of the testing changes.

Brief discussion regarding what should be included in Miscellaneous Bonding Scope i.e. potting, edge sealing, adhesives vs. potting compounds, prep to paint, etc. No resolution was reached but a team has been assigned to better define the scope of Miscellaneous Bonding.

      How Subscribing Members react to Audit Failure Notifications
      

Lance Loeks gave a presentation regarding what NCR’s may have ‘Product Impact’. A list of examples was provided. See attached presentation above.

Observation audits were discussed. It was agreed that each Subscribing Member should perform at least one oversight audit a year. eAuditNet can be used to pull a list of audits based on a number of criteria such as Auditor, Country, State and Date. Any Subscribing Member wanting to observe an audit is to contact the applicable scheduling department. This is to allow PRI to notify all parties involved and also to ensure the Supplier agrees to have their audit observed. It is expected that an observer would attend all days of the scheduled audit.

Staff Engineer Delegation status was reviewed and Delegation was maintained for the Composite Staff Engineer, Rebekah Braun.

In order to move forward in approving the Composite Staff Engineer to be a Composite Auditor, further information needs to be gathered in regards to how other commodities approach this approval and what actions are taken when there is only one Staff Engineer. Does that Staff Engineer conduct and review the same audit?

ACTION ITEM: Lance Loeks [Lead], Mike Bemis, Jeff Conrad and Tara Campbell to put together a proposal for Task Group expectations of observation audits. Bring proposal to February Nadcap meeting. (DUE DATE, 22-Feb-10)

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to post Continual Improvement Form on PRI website under COMP public documents. (DUE DATE, 13-Nov-09)

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to send Auditor Advisory to clarify Audit Handbook details for a documented test procedure (AC7118 paragraph 10.1.2) and clarification on what to do when conducting a VCA. (DUE DATE, 13-Nov-09)

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to find out what other commodities require of their Staff Engineer to obtain auditor status. (DUE DATE, 22-Feb-09)

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to send AC7118 rev B out for ballot again. (DUE DATE, 30-Oct-09)

ACTION ITEM: Lance Loeks to add necessary clarification to the examples of Minor, Major and Product Impact. (DUE DATE, 14-Jan-09)

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff to add the examples of Minor, Major and Product Impact (along with clarifications) into the Audit Handbook. (DUE DATE, 17-Jan-09)

13.0 MEETING CLOSE-OUT (OPEN)

The next Nadcap meeting is scheduled for 22 - 26 February 2010 in Rome, Italy. Only the AC7118 and AC7122 will be discussed. There will be no agenda topics for AC7124.
