FORE
5、WORD Evolving from an original concept developed in a Government/Industry “Equal Partner” conference, the following key elements were highlighted for a successful program: (1) a certification or accreditation/certification system that includes informational feedback; (2) a verification system that i
6、ncorporates audit reviews; (3) sponsorship by widely recognized private sector organizations with government participation; and (4) a time frame that provides for harmonious transition from the various programs and systems in use at that time. In September 1987, the first meeting of an ad hoc commit
7、tee was held to define the framework to develop a qualification/accreditation/certification program that would truly meet industry needs. This committee is now recognized as Nadcap. Over more than a decade, Nadcap has grown to serve the needs of the Aerospace Industry, growing in the scope of manufa
8、cturing and special processes subject to accreditation/certification as well as the geographical span which is served by this program. The Nadcap program has been shaped to serve the International Aerospace Industry in three sectors: Americas, Europe, and Asia. The current Nadcap mission is to provi
9、de international, unbiased, independent manufacturing process and product assessments and certification services for the purpose of adding value, reducing total cost, and facilitating relationships between primes and suppliers. SAEAS7003D- 2 - 1. SCOPE 1.1 This Aerospace Standard (AS) documents the
10、requirements for implementing Nadcap industry consensus-based accreditation/certification programs. 1.2 Under these programs a supplier accredited product, process, or service is authorized by Nadcap to use the programs mark (a mark of conformity) and a certification to indicate that the accredited
11、product, process, or service is in compliance with applicable standards, audit criteria, and/or specifications. 1.3 The procedures in this document are based on ISO/IEC Guides for third-party certification, registration, and accreditation/certification programs where these guides do not violate coun
12、try laws. The adoption of these guides allows International harmonization of requirements for certification, registration, and accreditation. 1.4 Covered within this document and referenced documents are the operations of the Nadcap Management Council with its committees and task groups, Nadcap staf
13、f and field personnel, procedures for conducting audits, awarding accreditation, and continuing surveillance of suppliers. Supported recognized consensus standards and/or audit criteria define requirements for supplier compliance to Nadcap requirements for each individual product, process, or servic
14、e to be accredited. 2. REFERENCES 2.1 Applicable Documents The following publications form a part of this standard to the extent specified herein.

NADCAP GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 3.1 Nadcap provides a basic uniform method for assessing and accrediting/certifying the capability of suppliers to meet specific program requirements. 3.2 Nadcap identifies suppliers who have demonstrated a capability of providing an identif
37、ied process, product, or service of specified quality. 3.2.1 Nadcap initially determines supplier capability through audits and information provided by suppliers. Continuing supplier capability is determined through efforts including continuing surveillance, periodic follow-up audits, proficiency ev
38、aluations, and evaluation of information received from suppliers, inputs from users concerning suppliers continuing performance, and suppliers information on generic and specific problems from data bases. 3.2.2 Nadcap maintains continuing awareness of supplier capability and proficiency. For some Na
39、dcap commodities there is continuing surveillance through ongoing inspections or reviews of inspection and tests on supplier processes to assure compliance with the specified requirements. 3.3 Suppliers apply for accreditation/certification by completing an application with the necessary information
40、 and fees. Audit personnel are assigned and the audit is conducted using Nadcap approved audit criteria. The duration of the audit is a function of specific program requirements. The auditors observations and recommendation are reviewed in accordance with Nadcap Operating Procedures. Upon demonstrat
41、ion of compliance with requirements, accreditation/certification is granted. SAEAS7003D- 5 - 3.4 Nadcap accredited suppliers are included on the Nadcap Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) along with their qualified products, or processes, or services. 3.4.1 The QML shall be available to subscribing u
42、sers of the products, processes, and services through an international on-line network. This data management system provides complete information on pending and accredited suppliers with addresses, points of contact, commodities qualified to specification, and any limitations in available services;
43、a list of suppliers by commodity by geographical area; scheduling of audits cross-referenced between auditor and supplier; advisories and electronic mail. 3.4.2 Information on accreditation/certification status of suppliers shall be maintained current by Nadcap staff. Suppliers shall provide and mai
44、ntain current information requested on ownership, organization, management, and key staff, location, equipment, procedures, etc. 3.4.3 Nadcap accreditation/certification applies only to suppliers of products, processes, and services and not to certification of individual personnel or product. A prod
45、uct, process, or service provided by an accredited supplier may require certain qualification requirements. Such qualification may be witnessed by the Nadcap audit/inspection personnel. 3.5 Suppliers that do not agree with the results of the accreditation process may challenge the decision by means
46、of the Nadcap appeals procedure. 3.6 The Nadcap accreditation/certification process of supplier processes is administered with confidentiality as directed by the Nadcap Management Council. 3.7 Detailed requirements, audit criteria, and surveillance criteria are prepared by the appropriate task group
47、(s) operating under the Nadcap Management Council. 4. ORGANIZATION OF NADCAP 4.1 Nadcap Management Council (NMC) The organization of Nadcap is illustrated in Figure 1.
