CONSULTATION
7.5.2 The requirement of ISO 9001, in subsection C discusses the use of specific procedures to validate processes "special" in this case welding. My question is: Could use proper welding procedures, instead of using AWS codes and show evidence that we have worked so far?
ANSWER
As mentioned earlier, we must distinguish between regulatory requirements and requirements of your organization.
The rule permits, in addition to other options considered in points a), b) d) e), are used "... methods and procedures, " to validate what is commonly known as " special processes."
analysis of clause 7.5.2 Validation of processes for production and service provision can conclude with clarity and absolute certainty that any " specific procedure is possibly acceptable. Indeed, the standard does not define nature, scope, structure, models, standards, codes or other regulations.
However there are doubts as do the procedures developed by your organization are accepted by your customers?, Do they generate the appropriate level of confidence?, Are comparable to others?, "Has proved an efficient tool to meet in order to validate the welding process, how to demonstrate its effectiveness?, will the associated personnel is competent?, "the challenge posed regulations and / or accept this procedure legal?, etc.
Obviously imagine the questions are many and the acceptance of a procedure depends on the answers.
personally know the case very well, since I am a Quality Manager in a engineering company, where we have many welding processes and at least here in Chile a majority percentage (99%) of customers, require qualification welders and welding procedures (PQR, WPS, etc), through outside agencies and indepedientes.
Eventually we could make part of our means, but for that We had a qualified member of the company externally as supervisor ratings of welders and procedures and to send specimens for testing to outside agencies and accredited.
