Can be rather messy to track materials traceability for all critical stuff. A
better solution is to use a production site that is also subject to CIG and/or
a routine factory FUS audit, where they build from drawings that were submitted
as part of your product assessment process. Out-sourcers (is that a word?) that
have a QMS typically have a formal process and doc requirements for this.
Also, UL, CSA, et al, have some specific programs for some processes and/or
material types that will not come from the applicant or the 'recognized'
vendor. The Klingon High Command requires that all second-source suppliers be
certified via the Rite of Ascension.

Subject: [PSES] Outsource Manufacturing Supplier Certs
All,
Does anyone here have experience with outsourcing or contract manufacturing
function and a program to pass along certificates of the materials used? I
know this can be managed and I'm not even certain what a program/process like
this would be called. For example, when a manufacturer builds subassemblies
like circuit boards or custom magentics, safety critical materials they use
must be inspected prior to assembly (optocouplers, wire, fuses, connectors,
etc.). Evidence of inspection for these materials in the form of certificates
may need to be passed along when these assemblies are shipped to the end
manufacturer.
I am interested to learn what points should be considered to monitor this
process.
Thanks, Doug
