Quality and certifications - Holds an FAA Repair Station Certificate (number referenced on facility documentation) - NADCAP approved for relevant processes - Operates under documented quality and procurement requirements for material traceability, inspection and documentation Flame Spray Inc. focuses on providing reliable delivery, competitive pricing and a high degree of quality for thermal spray coating projects. This document summarizes key procurement quality requirements that apply to suppliers doing business with Flame Spray Inc. Material certification and traceability - Material certifications must be provided and traceable to lot, batch, block or heat lot numbers, as applicable. - Certifications must show compliance with the applicable specifications, engineering drawings and Flame Spray Inc. purchase order requirements. - Chemical/physical test reports listing actual test results may be required. - All test data and certifications must be retained by the supplier for at least seven (7) years, unless otherwise specified on the purchase order. First article and inspection reporting - First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) may be required and must list actual inspection results for all drawing dimensions and applicable notes. - Sample inspection plans must meet ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (formerly MIL‑STD‑105) when sampling is used. - Dimensional inspection reports may be required for critical or key characteristics. - Secondary operations (such as forming, machining, welding) may require inspection reports. Special processes and certifications - Special process certifications (plating, heat treat, coatings, etc.) must be provided when required. - For serialized parts, special process certifications must reference the applicable serial numbers. - When specified, special process providers must hold required customer approvals (for example, Boeing D1‑4426 approval). Packaging and protection - Items must be preserved and packaged to prevent deterioration or damage during shipment. - Use of newsprint as packaging material is prohibited. Government and customer oversight - Work may be subject to inspection or surveillance by Flame Spray Inc., customers, the FAA or government representatives. - Government Source Inspection may be required before shipment when specified. Quality system expectations - Suppliers must maintain a quality system that meets the level of quality specified on the purchase order (for example, ISO 9001:2000 or equivalent, where flowed down). - Suppliers must maintain an acceptable inspection system and calibration system (e.g., in accordance with ANSI Z540‑1 or ISO 10012‑1) when required. - Requirements from end customers (such as Boeing) flowed down via the purchase order must be met and flowed down to sub‑tier suppliers as applicable. Identification, shelf life and traceability - Parts and materials must maintain identification as furnished, including part numbers, revision levels and lot/heat numbers when required. - Marking should follow applicable standards (for example, MIL‑STD‑130) or use bag‑and‑tag methods when parts cannot be directly marked. - Age‑sensitive materials (such as epoxies, paints, adhesives) must include date of manufacture, test date, shelf life, expiration date and storage conditions. - Unless otherwise approved, materials should not be shipped with less than 80% of shelf life remaining. Nonconforming product - Suppliers must promptly notify Flame Spray Inc. of nonconforming material or parts affecting drawing, purchase order or specification requirements. - Nonconforming product must not be shipped without written authorization from Flame Spray Inc. These points are a summary only. The full procurement quality requirements published by Flame Spray Inc. and the specific purchase order always take precedence.
