Provisions Governing Qua/ification SD-6
3. The product is being manufactured under the same conditions as originally qualified,
with the same process, materials, construction, design, and manufacturer's part number of designation.
4. The product meets the requirements and tests of the latest issue of the specification.
5. Any product change was made since the date the product was qualified.
Reexamination and Retest
The Qualifying Activity will determine, based on specification or product changes and other available data, whether items need to be removed from the electronic QPL or QML until retesting is complete, or whether removal can be delayed pending the outcome of the tests or
receipt of additional data. If the Qualifying Activity retains the item on the electronic QPL or the QML, it establishes a maximum time limit for submission of the samples or test data before removal. The Qualifying Activity will require the reexamination of a qualified product:
1. If the manufacturer has modified the product or changed the material or processing so that the validity of previous qualification is questionable.
2. If the requirements in the specification have been revised to affect the characteristics of the product.
3. When questionable performance reports make it necessary to determine that the product continues to meet all the specification requirements.
4. When retention-of-qualification requirements in the specification require reexamination.
REMOVAL FROM A LISTING
When a manufacturer or authorized distributor fails to comply-or demonstrates an inability to comply-with specification requirements, the Qualifying Activity will remove the products from the electronic QPL, or remove applicable processes from the electronic QML. Removal could include a broad range of directly or indirectly affected products, possibly the manufacturer's entire family of qualified products. The Qualifying Activity will also remove the
manufacturer's certification, and may direct the manufacturer to stop shipment, when such action is necessary to ensure that the manufacturer provides compliant products. The Qualifying Activity will not remove a product, a manufacturer, or a process from an electronic QPL/QML solely on the basis that the Qualifying Activity did not perform a facility (plant) audit within the planned audit cycle. Here are the circumstances under which adverse actions or removal might
be warranted:
1. The product or process offered under contract does not meet the requirements of the specification.
