18、. BS EN 9131:2016EN 9131:2016 (E) 4 Rationale This European Standard has been significantly revised further defining process requirements and data expectations; restructuring the nonconformity documentation data and providing further definition of data descriptions; and providing process defect, cau
19、se, and corrective action codes. This European Standard was created to provide for the uniform submittal of nonconformance information for notification and/or approval when contractually invoked at any level or as guidance within the aviation, space, and defence industry. This European Standard can
20、be invoked as a stand-alone requirement or used in conjunction with 9100-series standards (i.e., 9100, 9110, 9120). To assure customer satisfaction, aviation, space, and defence industry organizations must produce, and continually improve, safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and reg
21、ulatory authority requirements. The globalization of the industry, and the resulting diversity of regional/national requirements and expectations, has complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the challenge of assuring the quality of, and integrating, product purchased from supplier
22、s throughout the world and at all levels within the supply chain. Industry suppliers and processors face the challenge of delivering product to multiple customers having varying quality expectations and requirements. The aviation, space, and defence industry established the International Aerospace Q
23、uality Group (IAQG) for the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and safety, and reductions in cost, throughout the value stream. This organization includes representation from companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific, and Europe. This document standardizes requirements for noncon
24、formance data definition and documentation for the industry. The establishment of common requirements, for use at all levels of the supply-chain by organizations, should result in improved quality and safety, and decreased costs, due to the elimination or reduction of organization-unique requirement
25、s and the resultant variation inherent in these multiple expectations. BS EN 9131:2016EN 9131:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the common nonconformance data definition and documentation that shall be exchanged between an internal/external supplier or sub-tier supplier, and the cust
26、omer when informing about a nonconformity requiring formal decision. The requirements are applicable, partly or totally, when reporting a product nonconformity to the owner or operator, as user of the end item (e.g., engine, aircraft, spacecraft, helicopter), if specified by contract. The process of
27、 exchanging, coordinating, and approving nonconformance data varies with the multiple relationships and agreements among all parties concerned. The information provided by this European Standard forms guidelines for submitting and managing of data through accurate communication. The main objective i
28、s to provide the definition of a data set that can be integrated into any form of communication (e.g., electronic data interchange, submission of conventional paper forms). Reporting of nonconformance data, either electronically or conventionally on paper, is subject to the terms and conditions of t
29、he contract. This also includes, where applicable, data access under export control regulations. 2 Normative References The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited ap
30、plies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

32、 The recipient of a product provided by an internal/external supplier or sub-tier supplier 3.2 Mandatory Data Common and transferable data systematically filled in and provided. The data field must be printed out on the paper form. 3.3 Optional Data All data fields that are not defined as mandatory
33、by this European Standard. These fields may be requested by a customer or needed by the originator for their own purposes. 3.4 Product Any vehicle, engine, equipment, component, deliverable software, or parts and materials thereof BS EN 9131:2016EN 9131:2016 (E) 6 3.5 Product Quality Escape Any prod
34、uct released by an internal/external supplier or sub-tier supplier that is subsequently determined to be nonconforming to contract and/or product specification requirements 3.6 Waiver/Concession Written authorization from the customer to the internal/external supplier to use or release a product whi
35、ch does not conform to the specified requirements Note 1 to entry: Waiver/concession and product quality escape differ with respect to the point in time when a nonconformance is detected during the product life cycle. Waiver/concession is evident before delivery to the customer, while a product qual
36、ity escape is identified after delivery to the customer. 4 Requirements 4.1 Data related to the description of a nonconformity (i.e., content, format, size) shall be in accordance with the complete set defined in Annex A and the contractual requirements. a. Mandatory data fields, identified in bold
37、text and marked with an asterisk (*) shall be systematically recorded and reported to the customer. b. Optional data fields shall be recorded, when required, provided that it is not in contradiction with contractual requirements. NOTE 1 For any data field, whether mandatory or optional data, recorde
38、d and reported to the customer that is not applicable shall have N/A entered in the field, prior to final approval/signature. NOTE 2 Customers may require different optional data fields be recorded and reported. It is therefore recommended to ensure the Information Technology System is capable of mo
39、difying the optional data fields and inactivating those not being used to be able to fulfil new customers requirements and where existing customers change their requirements. This includes the capability of the Information Technology System to process with data types and data sizes specified in this
40、 standard. 4.2 Nonconformity data recording and approval shall be in accordance with contractual and regulatory requirements. 4.3 Attached files should be in a protected format (e.g., pdf, tif, jpg), whenever possible. Where this is not practical, appropriate precautions shall be taken to prevent in
41、advertent changes. 4.4 Where file sizes are constrained, file size optimization tool shall be used. If a file compression is not capable of meeting file size constraints, the data exchange has to be agreed upon between both parties e.g., via compact disk, USB flash drive, e-mail correspondence, dire
42、ct access to data system. 4.5 A nonconformance form shall contain, at a minimum, the fields defined in Annex A and depicted in the example provided (see Annex B). However, the size and order of the fields may be changed to suit the individual application provided that: a. The contents of the boxes s
43、pecified in this European Standard are maintained; alternatively a cross reference can be used. b. The form is identified as a nonconformance record. c. Complies with contractual/regulatory requirements. BS EN 9131:2016EN 9131:2016 (E) 7 4.6 When required, continuation/additional sheets and attachme
44、nts shall include the same reference number as the original document. NOTE Reference Annex A, the data fields Nonconformance Description (see No. 19) and Disposition (see No. 25) may be presented either as a summary or in a clearly defined sub-structure (see No. 19 a-i and No. 25 a-e). 4.7 The forms
45、 may be pre-printed, computer generated, or accessed via a net-based system (intranet/internet), but in all cases, the printing of lines and characters shall be clear and legible. The details entered on the forms shall preferably be machine/computer printed, but may be handwritten as long as capital
46、 letters are used and the document remains legible. NOTE The use of abbreviations should be kept at a minimum. 4.8 The information shall be in English, but other languages are acceptable (e.g., bilingual: English and native) when specified in the contract. NOTE The use of abbreviations should be kep
47、t to a minimum. 5 Code Catalog The following codes are recommended for codifying affected processes, causes of process deviations, and corrections made to remedy the nonconformity. If codes are defined by a contract and/or the originators already have codes defined that satisfy their needs, these co
48、des shall take precedence over the following. NOTE The following codes represent a minimum selection of possible variances. In case of needing additional code definitions (e.g., software, electronic, composites, structures), the tables can be enhanced by using the existing structure. 5.1 Nonconforma
49、nce Process Codes A product nonconformance is typically associated with a process deviation. See Table 1 for a selection processes. 5.2 Nonconformance Cause Codes The causes of process deviations are defined in Table 2. In order to assist categorization, the list is set up to facilitate the use of process improvement tools (e.g., cause and effect diagram). The Main Term code can be used as the cause code, if appropriate, or further definition may be provided. NOTE 1 One or more cause codes may be used to define the cause(s) for a product nonconformi
