Recording periods Sample Clauses
Recording periods. (IATF 16949: Chapter 7.5.3.2.1) The documentation is incumbent upon the SUPPLIER and must be carried out in a suitable form (fire and loss-proof), if necessary with proven practicability (proof of discharge). For documents, records and reference samples, the legal minimum retention periods must be observed. In addition, the recording period for all special features and, if applicable, for further agreed inspection characteristics is 15 years after the series has expired (see VDA Volume 1). Longer storage periods (up to 30 years) are recommended against the background of the statute of limitations of product liability claims. The retention period for all other quality-related data is three years, beginning at the end of the year in which the data was created. The corresponding quality records must be submitted to the CLIENT on request without delay.

Archiving must ensure access to the data during the retention period. All technical documents must be kept eighteen (18) years after the end of the (series)production of the Webasto customer (End of Production = "EOP") or its last use.
