Initial samples. The Supplier shall follow PPAP (AIAG) OR VDA second part „Ensuring supplies quality” (PPF).
Initial samples. Initial samples are defined by Customer in the purchase order or, if there are changes, must be cleared with Customer. Initial samples are manufactured and tested, according to approved drawings, under serial production conditions (supplied material, machines, plants, production equipment, testing means, machining conditions). Material supplied by sub- suppliers must be approved by Supplier, for example by FAI. Supporting documents must be producible at any time at Customer’s request. Initial samples must be fully inspected and documented in respect of all characteristics (e.g. dimensions, materials) according to the drawing and the associated specifications and standards. The production and test records must be a component of the initial sampling process. The procedural plan contains all steps in the production process. Details of the production steps must be available on demand for inspection. Each product is subjected to initial-sample-inspection. Standard parts, catalog parts, auxiliary and production materials and additives constitute an exception to this requirement. By necessary changes in the production process by Supplier (cf. sec. 4.7), a repetition of the initial-sample-test must be carried out at no cost to Customer. The initial sample, together with the initial-sample-inspection report, must be delivered to Customer by the agreed date. The initial sample must be clearly labeled. The template for the first-article test report is available for download on Customer’s homepage.
Initial samples. The supplier shall carry out first article inspections on parts of the first delivery order that were manufactured under series conditions, or as required in the order. The results of the first article inspection shall be recorded with target and actual values, and shall be accompanied by the delivery log. At the request of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx GmbH, the supplier shall submit initial samples. However, this shall be agreed separately. The supplier shall notify Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx GmbH of any changes in the production / manufacturing process and any switching of subcontractors / suppliers, in advance of the change or switch. In case of changes to the manufacturing process, the supplier shall carry out a new first article inspection. Further instructions shall be taken from the "Guidelines for Initial Samples from Suppliers".
Initial samples. Initial samples are products that are manufactured according to approved drawings and under standard conditions. Note: Initial samples are not preliminary samples (prototypes) Reasons to present initial samples: • New supplier of XXXXXXXX • Change of supplier • New part • Design change that has an impact on the shape, fit or function of the part • Change to production facility(-ies), process(es), inspection methods, production site, tools, or materials that may affect shape, fit, or function • Change to the numerical control program or transition to another medium with possible effects on shape, fit or function • Natural or man-made incidents that may have a lasting impact on the production process • Interruption of production for a period of two years or as determined by XXXXXXXX These initial samples are to be delivered with an initial sample test report. All dimensions / requirements according to the drawing (target / actual) must be documented (for reference, see section 4.1). All sample test reports must be completed as far as possible and signed by the SUPPLIER. The result may be: • Approved • Approved with conditions • Rejected, re-sampling required Approval of the sample by XXXXXXXX shall not release the SUPPLIER from its responsibility for the quality of its products.
Initial samples. Initial sampling happens according to KE requirements. It is prior to series production always than necessary if: • a new part is ordered • a technical change is existing • a new tool, tool change or –modification is necessary • the production location has been relocated • within the past 12 month no serial shipping took place (spare parts excepted) Initial samples are required to be completely produced under series conditions. All deviations in production process from intended condition at series production must be documented and agreed in writing prior with KE. Having the initial samples available, KE conducts tests on his sole discretion. Basing on the results and on Initial Sampling Report submitted by the Supplier, KE decides about the approval. The approval is of pure technical nature and does not mean a delivery order. The Supplier submits the Initial Samples together with the required Initial Sampling Report. The inspected samples have to be marked in that way that an allocation of measured values is clear.
Initial samples. 3.3.3.1 New parts have to be delivered with an initial sample test report which includes the proof of compliance with all features.
Initial samples. Nanophase will propose to Purchaser a plan for the continuous manufacture at the expense of Nanophase, in the machines and facilities intended to be used to
Initial samples. Initial samples are products manufactured completely with standard equipment under standard conditions. The initial sample inspection forms the basis for the serial delivery of a B&R-specific product and shall be documented in an initial sample inspection report. Initial samples shall be delivered especially labeled in quantities still to be agreed upon. Together with the initial samples, the Contractor shall supply an initial sample inspection report containing the inspection results of all relevant quality properties the Contractor shall have defined. Any and all deviations from the B&R specification shall be documented within the scope of the initial sampling. B&R inspects the initial samples, notifies the Contractor of the inspection results and, upon approval, gives their written approval of the serial delivery.
Initial samples. Initial samples are products manufactured and tested under mass production conditions (machinery, systems, operating and testing equipment, machining conditions). The test results for all criteria are to be documented in an initial sample report. The number of parts to be documented is to be agreed with IMS CS. The initial samples are to be submitted to IMS CS on the agreed date together with the initial sample report and the documentation specified in the submission levels (Section 3.4). They must be clearly labelled as initial samples. The consecutive numbering used in the initial sample test report to identify the criteria must match that on the stamped drawing. Modules that are manufactured to an IMS CS design must be subjected to initial sampling, which includes the individual components, and the results presented to IMS CS. For products manufactured to the Supplier's own designs, the Supplier must produce initial samples of the module and submit these to IMS CS. Initial sampling must also be carried out for individual components and, where applicable, sub-modules. IMS CS must be permitted to inspect this documentation, if required. If deviations from the IMS CS specification were not identified during the production process and product approval procedure, this does not release the Supplier from its obligation, and IMS CS retains the right to reject such deviations at a later date.
Initial samples. Initial samples are products produced and tested under series production conditions (machines, systems, operating and testing equipment, machining requirements). The test results for all characteristics shall be documented in an initial sample test report, which shall be provided to voestalpine upon first request. The number of parts to be documented (min. three sample parts) shall be agreed upon with voestalpine. Initial sample parts shall be delivered separately and clearly labeled as such in the delivery. The current voestalpine sampling template must be requested from the respective Q contact partner and used, unless otherwise agreed. In addition, the supplier shall provide the voestalpine material number and relevant information on the product history in accordance with VDA Volume 2 as part of the initial sampling on the supplier’s own initiative, unless otherwise agreed with voestalpine. The sequential numbering used to identify the characteristics in the initial sample test report must be the same as those in the stamped drawing. Assemblies manufactured in accordance with a voestalpine design must be subjected to initial sample testing, including the individual parts, and presented to voestalpine. For products of the supplier’s own design, the supplier shall sample the assemblies and present them to voestalpine. Initial sampling must also be carried out for individual parts and subassemblies, if necessary. voestalpine shall be permitted to inspect this documentation, if necessary. Deviations from voestalpine’s specifications, which were not detected during production process and product approval, do not release the supplier from its obligations, and justify voestalpine in complaining even at a later date. The overall decision shall be communicated to the supplier in written form. Series production may not begin until the samples have been approved.
