Mr . McKay,
Your products utilizing the Feilon liner system successfully meet the verification test qualification requirements stipulated by the AS81820 Aerospace Standard . Your successful verification test qualification to - 8 size of MS14101 provides qualification to sizes -7,-8 , and -9 of MS14101, and MS14102 by similarity. This letter is official notification that Transpacific will be added to the Qualified Products List (QPL) as the source plant supplying the qualified bearings to QPL source names:
GODFREY (GUANGZHOU) AEROSPACE BEARINGS LTD First Floor, #3 Building, Yunbu Road 3, No 19 Luogang District , Guangzhou, China
The conditional qualification approval applies to the above mentioned parts. It is a conditional qualification approval until such time as the Qualifying Activity is able to inspect the factory at Guangzhou, China. Additional requirements on the basis of this conditional approval are described below.
Qualification to AS81820 stipulates that your products possess the technical capabilities defined in the standard. Therefore, your products have the p o tential to be purchased under the standard with the intent for insta llat i on on military as well as commercial aircraft . Procurement of standard parts by the DOD and OEMs as well as their distributors and maintenance organizations also require parts to be manufactured under a certified quality management system. For this reason, it is the Qualifying Activity's responsibility to ensure that your company possesses the required capability and methodology to effe c t ively prov ide a consistent level of quality products .
As a newly qualified company, evidence of a quality management system shall be provided as well as documentation supporting the frozen manufacturing process. Any future changes to the frozen process must be approved by the qualifying activity. A document package including copies of the company 's quality policy and process router plans, including quality control meas u r ement, testing and inspection processes with associated instruc t i on and record f orms shall be provide d . If nece ssar y, Engl i sh t r ans late d version s shall b e provide d as we ll. In addition, a list de f i ning all material sour ces shall be provided.
Finally, as a conditional qualification requirement, as a temporary measure in lieu of a factory visit/review and considering recent changes in the swa ge r e l e ase process, the Qualifying Activity shall be provided with three v e rification samples of each production lot properly labeled and pac kaged. These production lot samples will be p r ov ided for a maximum of one y e ar .
Including a product on the QPL does not relieve the manufacturer of its contractual obligation to deliver items meeting all the specification requirements . To retain QPL status, your company must comply with the retention of qualification requirements stated in the applicable standard and submit on a bi-yearly basis a completed certification form DD1718. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the withdrawal of your company from the QPL.
