Common use of Quality documentation Clause in Contracts

Quality documentation. The results of the quality inspections and tests carried our by the Supplier and of audits shall be documented together with the planned and effective corrective measures implemented and be made available in their entirety to HJS or HJS's customer upon request and at any time. Any deviations from this procedure are to be agreed between the partners at the time of actually concluding the contract. If HJS asks the Supplier to supply works test certificates, copies of said certificates are to be included with the respective delivery. Non-supply of works test certificates inhibits correct receipt of goods at HJS and leads to holding of the delivery and submission of a complaint to the Supplier. In the case of parts to which more stringent requirements with regard to documentation apply (refer also to VDA Volume 1 in this respect), quality records are to be kept by the Supplier and its subcontractors for a period of at least 15 years following production phase-out.
