APPENDIX A
A.4.4.3 Application revision. QML companies are responsible for notifying DSCR
when their product lines or facility locations have changed, new manufacturing or QMS
processes have been implemented, the organizational structure impacting production and/or the
QMS has changed or there has been a change in senior quality management. When requested by
DSCR, companies shall submit a revised signed application once changes have occurred.
A.4.5 Site survey.
A.4.5.1 Requirement for site survey. When a manufacturer applies to be qualified under
the QML Program, DSCR will customarily require a site-survey of the facility. Site-surveys by
DSCR or DSCR's agent, will be based on the criteria in section A.3. Surveys will include a
review of the manufacturer's QMS and all of the systems and processes that the manufacturer is
required to have in-place and in-use, under section A.3 of this document.
A.4.5.2 Third party survey/audits. Industry surveys/audits or certification by a third
party ISO registrar, may be considered by DSCR in the review of the manufacturer's application
for qualification. Such surveys or audits may be used by DSCR in lieu of, or in addition to,
QML site-survey requirements.
A.4.6 Qualification results.
A.4.6.1 Notification of qualification. Upon completion of the evaluation process, DSCR
shall notify the manufacturer as to whether QML status has been attained or has been denied.
A.4.6.2 Qualification approval. If qualification status has been attained, a qualification
approval letter shall be issued to the manufacturer along with a copy to the DSCR buying office
for wire rope assembly items. Unless QML status is terminated, or the manufacturer is otherwise
disqualified, the term of qualification shall be three years from the date of the qualification
approval letter. The letter notice typically will include the following:
a. Designation of the QML Program under which manufacturer has been qualified.
b. The CAGE code and address of the manufacturer's facility which has been qualified.
c. The address for receipt by the manufacturer of correspondence if different from that
in "b" above.
A.4.6.3 Qualification denial. When a manufacturer's application for qualification is
denied, DSCR will issue a denial of qualification letter to the manufacturer along with a copy to
the DSCR buying office. The letter shall cite the specific reasons for such denial.
A.4.7 Audits.
A.4.7.1 Audits. DSCR may conduct annual audits of a manufacturer's facility to confirm
adherence to QML criteria. Audits will be an on-going policy during the life of the QML
Program. During audits, observation of inspection and testing will be performed. In some cases,
the manufacturer may be requested to perform a specific inspection and/or test during the audit.
