APPENDIX A
A.3.3.4 Vendor selection system. A documented vendor selection system shall be in
place that ensures only qualified and approved vendors, including packaging subcontractors, are
solicited and awarded contracts.
A.3.4 Product traceability.
A.3.4.1 Product traceability. The manufacturer will identify the product by suitable
means and maintain this identification throughout the entire fabrication process.
A.3.4.2 Material and end product traceability.
a. The manufacturer shall maintain a system of in-house traceability records that reflect
a continuous documentation trail from the company that supplied raw material and/or
components to the manufacturer regardless of the number of entities through which the materials
or components have passed. The documentation trail will include reference to the manufacturer's
customer purchase order for which the raw material and/or components are used to fabricate wire
rope assemblies.
b. The manufacturer shall obtain from its source and retain on record a true copy of the
original unaltered product certifications for the original materials and/or component at time of, or
prior to, material receipt. Certified test reports must be available and provided to the customer
upon request. These reports must be record-controlled by the manufacturer.
A.3.5 Lot control.
A.3.5.1 Lot identification and segregation. Lot identification and segregation shall be
maintained and no comingling of wire rope assemblies shall be permitted. A manufacturer shall
have in-place and in-use, a system that assures homogeneous grouping of wire rope assemblies;
this system must confirm that the homogenous group (lot) is traceable to the components making
up the wire rope assemblies. The manufacturer shall document and implement a system:
a. that marks and identifies all wire rope assemblies by lot.
b. that ensures lot identification is maintained throughout the process including storage,
packaging, and shipment. Where lots have been subdivided, evidence shall exist to assure
traceability. The system shall account for products with respect to type, quantity, location, and
lot number. Stored inventory must agree with recorded data of the same inventory. Data
required to isolate material to the specific lot must be record-controlled.
c. that controls product turnover. This system shall manage product segregation within
the inventory, when technical requirements change while the product is in storage.
d. that provides, upon request, to the customer, the approved manufacturer's certificate
of conformance, test reports, and material certifications for each lot of product, at the time of
product delivery.
e. that labels or tags each packaging unit to identify the contents; and the labels or tags
shall be in compliance with the customer's requirements, applicable specification, and/or federal
regulations.
