INITIAL SAMPLE TESTING Sample Clauses
INITIAL SAMPLE TESTING. 6.1. In the initial sample test report, Supplier must prove that all characteristics are in compliance with the customer requirements.
6.2. Initial samples must be manufactured under serial production conditions, i.e. using the tools and materials employed in serial production. Any departure from this rule must be recorded in the initial sample test report.
6.3. The initial sample test will be documented using ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ PN013.460 form or a corresponding initial test report according to VDA volume 2. All the information should be documented by listing target and actual values. This provision shall apply: • prior to initial serial delivery of a new product/part • prior to serial use of new/modified tools • in the event of technical changes to parts • in the event that the manufacturing site is relocated • on imposition of a delivery block due to quality issues • whenever sub-suppliers are changed Minimum information: • drawing number (and/or material no.), • change status (index) • name of tester and tester's signature The tested initial sample must be sent to PÖTTINGER separately.
INITIAL SAMPLE TESTING. 6.1. PÖTTINGER will decide at its own discretion whether an acceptance test (delivery approval) is to be carried out prior to delivery at Supplier's premises, otherwise sample testing will be conducted at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ premises.
6.2. Supplier will conduct a complete test of the initial sample to verify compliance with the drawing. Even if PÖTTINGER models, appliances, tools, etc. are ordered, this test will be carried out by Supplier.
6.3. Initial samples must be manufactured under serial production conditions, i.e. using the tools and materials employed in serial production. Any departure from this rule must be recorded in the initial sample test report. A positive outcome to the initial sample test confirms that Supplier and production aids are appropriate to manufacture the product.
6.4. The initial sample test will be documented using ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ PN013.460 form or a corresponding initial test report according to VDA volume 2. All the information should be documented by listing target and actual values. This is applicable: • prior to initial serial delivery of a new product/part • prior to serial use of new/modified tools • in the event of technical changes to parts • in the event the manufacturing site is relocated • on imposition of a delivery block due to quality issues • whenever sub-suppliers are changed Minimum information: • drawing number (and/or material no.), • change status (index) • name of tester and tester's signature The tested initial sample must be sent to PÖTTINGER separately.
6.5. If drawing specifications/tolerances are not complied with, the further procedure must be agreed with PÖTTINGER prior to delivery of the initial sample.
INITIAL SAMPLE TESTING. (1) If the CUSTOMER commissioned initial sample, the SUPPLIER shall produce under series conditions and with series equipment. The initial samples has to comply with the CUSTOMER’s specific requirements.
(2) Production capability shall be documented in an initial sample report together with all test features defined in the drawing/ specification. The initial sample documentation shall include, insofar as not otherwise agreed, the following evidence: • a measurement report for the number of parts specified in the order, assignable to the test chart as specified in the order • measurement system and equipment capability, if requested • materials certificate/acceptance test certificate • technical data sheet • declaration of conformity, if necessary The CUSTOMER shall inspect the conformity of the data to the technical documentation and shall inform the SUPPLIER of his decision. CUSTOMER orders are not to be considered as positive inspection decision. Certification of appropriate testing shall be provided for any additional specification requirements pertaining to a product to be supplied, such as lifespan, temperature tolerance, corrosion protection etc. The results of the aforementioned tests shall be supplied with the initial sample report.
