SCOPE
These Audit Criteria define the requirements for suppliers seeking
Nadcap accreditation in Penetrant and are to be used as supplement to
PRI AC7114. These criteria and the applicable User Prime
Supplemental Checklists will ensure that NDT suppliers meet the
requirements for Nadcap accreditation in Penetrant.
2.
GENERAL INFORMATION
In completing this assessment, auditors are instructed to respond with
a "Yes or No" to address compliance with each statement of
requirement. For any negative responses, the auditor must clearly
indicate in the NCR if the No" reflects noncompliance with respect to
existence, adequacy, and/or compliance. Existence relates to evidence
of a documented procedure or policy, adequacy relates to the
completeness of the procedure or policy, and compliance relates to
evidence of effective implementation. This checklist includes the use of
the word shall which indicates a clear requirement that must be met
at all times. The word, may indicates a possible resolution to a
requirement or one recommended method to achieve a given
requirement, but does not represent the only way to meet that
requirement. In addition the checklist includes the term Compliance
Assessment Guidance. This term is used to reflect the Task Groups
expectation when answering the checklist question as YES or NA.
The auditor must verify the list of procedures provided by the supplier
at the time of the audit. Any corrections or updates to the list must be
identified using notes inserted at the applicable criterion.
PRI operating procedures provide that "This report is published by PRI to advance the state of technical, engineering, and quality
sciences. The use of this report is entirely voluntary, and its applicability and suitability for any particular use, includi ng any patent
infringement arising there from, is the sole responsibility of the user."

All negative responses require a Nonconformance Report (NCR). Not
Applicable (NA) responses do not require an explanation unless
otherwise noted. There is only one plausible reason for an NA, which
is, that a particular operation or issue is not being used at the supplier.
There are no NAs simply for a lack of a customer requirement. If a
system is in use, then all questions pertaining to that system are
applicable. If verification of results require documentation it shall be so
noted in this checklist.
The audit results shall not include any customer proprietary
information. Technical information on parts which have been
designated Export Controlled License Required (EC-LR) cannot be
input into eAuditNet. If auditors have any questions about this, they
should contact the Staff Engineer for directions.
GO FORWARD PLAN Any new or revised procedure made after 4
December 2006 requires compliance to the following requirements.
Procedures written prior to this date shall be acceptable; however a
system needs to be in place to ensure that changes reflect the current
Nadcap requirements.

COMPLIANCE
Compliance Assessment Guidance: The supplier shall perform
representative inspections from current production to determine
compliance with these requirements. These parts shall be selected to
represent a variety of Nadcap participating customer requirements and
several different types of processing equipment if more than one
penetrant line is in use at this facility. Borrowing hardware from one
company to another to demonstrate compliance is not acceptable;
unless there is objective evidence the design authority has authorized
movement of the hardware to the company undergoing the audit.
Investigate the purchase order specifications to identify any customer
unique acceptance, process control, or procedure requirements
applicable to these parts. Witness the facilitys ability to perform
inspection of these parts in accordance with the requirements.
It is expected that the auditor shall review and follow traceability from
the purchase order to completion of the NDT process or final
certification by reviewing as a minimum the items listed below. The
auditor shall verify that the process applied complies with the
procedural system established by the company in terms of flow down,
customer specification retrieval (as applicable), inspection
