manufacturer suggestion and followed to ensure timely preventive maintenance is
implemented. For any breakdown the machinery and equipment is attended and
documented information is maintained in equipment history records.
7.1.5.2 Measurement traceability
Appropriate measuring and test equipment / instruments / software / measurement
equipment, etc. Capable of necessary accuracy and precision are used at the work places
to assure conformity of product to specified requirements. They are calibrated at the
regular intervals and the acceptance criteria is established on the basis of stability,
purpose and usage, thereby ensuring that it is capable of getting the necessary accuracy
and measurement requirements.
The salient features of the measurement traceability and calibration system established
and maintained are as under:

Equipments used in our company are selected based on capability, accuracy and precision
of the measurement required to be made. Test equipments are calibrated under suitable
environmental conditions.

a) The instruments are calibrated and adjusted at regular intervals as per schedules or
prior to use and recorded. All the critical equipments get calibrated against certified
equipment having a known valid relationship to nationally / internationally recognized
standard by trained company personnel or by employing services of outside calibration
laboratory having traceability with national / international standards. In the absence of
establishing such traceability, it is calibrated by in houses methods or some basis and
documented information is maintained. The equipments used for monitoring and
measurement are also included for calibration/verification as per established system
and record maintained. Also computer software used to satisfy intended application is
included and verification. The frequency of calibration is decided and Management
Representative ensures the tit is calibrated timely
b) All equipments are given instrument Identification number and stickers/tags are put for
identification of inst id#, calibration due date, calibrated on and status after calibration.
The records of calibration are maintained. Calibration status of the equipments is
identified by stickers / tags / records to recall back when calibration is due.
c) Equipments are handled in a manner to avoid damage and deterioration during
handling, maintenance and storage. Trained persons should handle the equipments to
ensure the validity of calibration. The measuring and monitoring equipments are
safeguarded to eliminate the possibility of invalidation of the calibration or are
subjected to calibration before use. New or repaired equipments and equipments used
for inspection are subjected to an initial inspection for accuracy or are proven prior to
release for use in testing.

In case any equipment is found out of calibration, the validity of previous inspection or
results of measurement after calibration is found outside tolerance then it is be assessed
and necessary action is taken to repair it. Till that time it is not used for monitoring and
measurement. New or repaired equipments and equipments used for inspection are
subjected to an initial inspection for accuracy or are proven prior to release for use in
testing.
If Software will be used in future for measuring and monitoring have specified
requirements are validated prior to use.

provided processes, products, services) and if any external provider is not performing well
for quality and delivery or legal issues then they are given warning or removed from the list
as per established system given in purchase activity process flow chart.
8.4.2 Type and extent of control
Normally our customers never ask to verify our externally provided processes, products,
services at subcontractor's / supplier’s premises as well as we are not inspecting our
product at subcontractor's / supplier’s premises. But in future our customer or we proposes

8.5.2 Identification and traceability
All products and services, from the time of receipt until dispatch are identified by one or
more of the followings in stores, manufacturing areas and finish good stores by using
stickers/tags/areas identified or records as suitable for
 Type, name, specification, brand name and other precise identification as
applicable.
 Make, brand name etc.,
 Self identification
 Others as applicable.
IN manufacturing area and stores inspection and test status for inspected, rejected or
waiting for inspection is also maintained. The system is laid down for identification of
materials by writing necessary details on the related records including its inspection and
test status based on the inspection and testing. Materials and all incoming products are
identified from receipt, during manufacturing and dispatch product for name, standards
and applicable references as described above. Any material released under concession or
positive recall system is identified and recorded in related records.
As such traceability is specified requirement of our customers, hence the same is
maintained during the production and services by providing Lot No. / batch number
throughout the manufacturing production process and records to be maintained.
The entire product at incoming, InProcess and final stage of inspection is having inspection
and test status for measurement and monitoring requirements.

8.6 Release of products and services
Inspection test plan has been established for ensuring that all the incoming, InProcess,
final stage products and services are not issued before it has been verified for conformity
of specified requirements, except in the circumstances of positive recall. The amount and
extent of inspection is determined on the basis of recorded evidence of their past
performance. Evidence of conformity with the acceptance criteria is recorded in the
inspection and test records along with authorized person’s signature for release of
products.
Where incoming or in process material is released for urgent production purposes before
inspection, they are positively identified and recorded to permit their recall in the event of
non-conformity.
No products are dispatched until all the testing activities specified in inspection test plan
are completed and authorized person verifies test records. Documentary evidence in the
form of records is maintained at all stages of inspection / verifications to ensure that the
products are inspected as per inspection test plan and passes through the inspection tests
with the desired acceptance criteria.
We retain documented information on the release of products and services as inspection
test report. The inspection test reports include:
a) Evidence of conformity with the acceptance criteria;
b) Traceability to the person(s) authorizing the release and approved by QC
head/authorized person.
8.7 Control of nonconforming outputs
8.7.1 The detail system and exhibit is established for identification, documentation, evaluation,
segregation and disposition of non-conforming incoming, InProcess and the final product
in production and inspection area. The concerned persons are informed for disposal of
non-conforming product and service.
The non-conforming products and services are reviewed after inspection in accordance
with the documented exhibit and subject to decision taken as per following.
a) Correction (Re–Processed / Re–Worked To Meet the Specified Requirements)
b) Segregation, containment, return or suspension of provision of products and services;
c) Informing the customer;
