1GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 Basic Plan Structure
This plan is for a quality system that has beencertified by a third party process utilizing independentaudits under the provisions of a third party accreditationprogram administered by a consensus standards organi-zation. It is intended to serve as a Quality AssurancePlan for externally and intenally threaded fastenersand accessories or associated parts.It is to be used inconjunction with other part-specific quality plans whichhave been agreed to berween manufacturer and pur-chaser.The Basic Plan Outline is included in Fig. 1.This Standard requires that manufacturers must bequalified under provisions of third party accreditationincluded in the referenced standards.

3 THIRD PARTY ACCREDITATION sYSTEM3.1 Scope
For the purpose of this Standard, third party registra-tion is the successful conclusion of a structured auditingand approval board process that has verified complianceof an audited quality system to a specified qualitysystem standard. Such compliance is determined by thedocumented auditing of the defined system and itsscope ofactivities (in its various documented andimplemented forms)by an agency (registrar) that hasthe authority，conferred by an accreditation processitself, to audit and grant registration status. Registrarsare recognized by the American National Standardslnstitule and/or the American Society for QualityControl.
3.2 Lot Controls
3.2.1 Raw material shall be supplicd to the manufac- .turer traceable to a mill heat of material.
3.2.2 Subcontracted processes including plating andheat treating shall be controlled to avoid product lotcontamination.
3.2.3 Finished lots shall be traceable to raw materialsupplier and subcontracted processes.
3.3 Inspection and Records
3.3.1 Inspection Plan and Inspection Points.The manufacturer shall have a document to indicatethose points within the manufacturing process wherefastener sampling and inspection is earried out. In-process control plans relating frequency of inspection,corroctive action for nonconforming characteristics, andsample sizes shall be documented prior to production.The in process control plan shall include those character-istics specified by the quality system standard, character-istics specifically indicated by the product standard,orthose characteristics normally accepted as appropriatefor evaluating product functionability. This plan shallbe made available to the customer on his request.
