January 30, 2014

3. Definitions
QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST (QPL): A listing of products from manufacturers who have received a PRI product qualification to a specific aerospace standard for specific product designations and plant locations.
QUALIFIED PRODUCT GROUP (QPG): A committee mandated by the QPMC responsible for assessing whether manufacturer's products comply with the relevant aerospace standard. The committee is composed of members from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government Agencies.
QUALIFIED PRODUCT MANAGEMENT COUNCIL (QPMC): The committee that manages the Qualified Product Process/Program. 2

4. PRI QPL Program Background
QPL - A document which lists qualified manufacturers who have met the product qualification test requirements to a specified industry standard for specific part numbers and plant locations

5. Purpose of the Aerospace QPL Program
Maintain a list of manufacturer’s critical products where those products have been qualified as meeting specific industry standards.
To manage the review process of submitted data and other materials reviewed by the QPG. 4

6. Motivation Users (OEMs/Government/Airlines)
Collaboration with other OEMs/Government/Airlines
Reduce costs by reduced need for in-house/outside lab testing
Uses consistent qualification procedures/standards
Maximize competition without the loss of quality
Avoid cost associated with maintaining User QPLs (testing, qualification, administration)
Suppliers
Typically lower costs than when qualifying products to User standards/specifications
Utilize initial qualification data to a wider industry base
Eliminate redundant testing and qualification processes
Ensure fairness among suppliers
Utilize consistent approach to qualification of product 5

19. The Nadcap Audit Process18

20. Nadcap
Nadcap – The leading worldwide cooperative program of major companies designed to manage a cost effective consensus approach to special processes and products and provide continuous improvement within the aerospace and automotive industries. 19

21. Require a Nadcap Audit Is a Nadcap Audit required?
SAE Committee determines if the Nadcap Audit is required
The Nadcap Audit requirement is documented in the specification. 20

22. Information to Request
the Establishment
of a PRI QPG 21

23. Primes Involved in the QPG

26. Program Information (continued)
Is an AS/EN/JISQ9100 approved quality system required?
Is it required to conduct the testing at an ISO/IEC accredited laboratory with applicable scope? 25

27. Program Information (continued)
What information is required on the on-line QPL listing?
Is a Nadcap Audit required for the qualification?
What are the requalification/recertification/ periodic testing/sampling requirements?
Will grandfathering of materials be applicable?
Per PD2001 Rev B – For a Grandfathered qualification in which the product is adopted from an existing OEM, government or military QPL, the manufacturer must submit official correspondence or approval letters relating to the qualification, a copy of the existing QPL and the associated qualification test reports and product drawings, if available. The QPG may request additional information as required, including the OEM verification of qualification if the QPL document is proprietary to the OEM. 26

28. Request for Development of a QPG
Formal Letter to the QPMC
Formal Presentation at the QPMC Spring or Fall Meeting
Time for approval
Time for implementation
Previously QPMC approval was obtained immediately after the presentation was made. However, we are not sure of the time required for approval based on the preferences of a new QPMC Chairman. Regarding implementation, that is also difficult to calculate. Implementation is based on everything coming together. i.e., Specification, Nadcap Audit, does it meet grandfathering criteria, development of QPG members, etc. On the PRI Administrative side of it, there are no time constraints, 2 to 3 months. 27
