1.1. There are two types of quality system documents:

Documentation/documents that organize the activities of the quality system and its management

Records that document the performance of the system and serve as objective evidence of the results of the QA activity and its achievements

1.2. A fundamental difference between these two types of documents is whether modifications to them are allowed.

It is permitted to make changes to the documentation that organizes the activities of the management system (as long as the rules for configuration control of the engineering documents and the documentation control rules are strictly followed).

It is forbidden to make changes to the records documenting performance, other than to correct errors, as explained below.

1.3. The handling of documents and records includes forms that are allowed to be modified until their content has been recorded. Modifications to such forms must be made in a controlled manner, in accordance with the documentation control rules. After results, evaluations, and reports/ findings in such forms have been recorded, those forms may no longer be modified, in order to maintain the integrity of the record.

2. The Objectives of the Quality Records

2.1. To serve as objective evidence of the compliance of the product to specifications.


document.doc

313.26.15


2.2. To serve as evidence of the effective implementation of the quality system and its management, through the achievement of the quality objectives, including the effectiveness of preventative action.

Insofar as possible, the recording of the reason for the correction.

Deletion is not permitted (using Tippex, for example).

8.3. In Magnetic Documents

Protection from alteration after obligatory signature.

If a record must be cancelled with a code/transaction, this will be done in such a manner that the record remains in memory. The reason for the cancellation and the details of the new, corrected record must be recorded.

This may only be done by personnel authorized to do so (password).


document.doc

313.26.15


9. Period of Retention

9.1. The length of time for which records must be retained in an archive will be either as required by Lahav or as detailed in Appendix C Table 1 attached to this procedure - whichever is longer.

10. Eradication/Removal of Material from the ArchiveOn expiry of the said period of records storage/retention in the vendor's archive, the manager responsible for the archive will notify Lahav in order to receive either authorization to eradicate the records or to submit a request for the extension of the storage period, and will act accordingly.

11. Manufacturing and Inspection Documents

11.1. Manufacturing documents (such as Route Cards), until the performance details are recorded on them, are manufacturing/engineering documents that can be modified, in accordance with the rules of configuration control, while maintaining the identity of the issue/version.

11.2. When a performance/inspection/approval event is recorded on such a document, it becomes an inspection document and a quality record, and as such the rules of quality records including their retention apply to them.

1.3. Prototypes or items manufactured in processes that are different from the regular production are not considered part of the first serial production.

1.4. First article inspection will be carried out on any other article, as determined by Production Engineering or Quality Engineering, resulting from the complexity of the item or the technology of its manufacture.

1.5. The vendor will prepare and submit the FAI plan for Lahav approval.This process is to be repeated after every change that nullifies the validity of the results of the previous “First Article” inspection.

2. Preparation of a Route Card and its ApprovalThe demand for an FAI must also appear on the Route Card.

The parties who prepare and approve a Route Card are:
