Boeing Surveillance Strategy in Conjunction with Nadcap Accreditation

The Boeing Strategy concerning its management of D1-4426 Special Processors utilizing Nadcap accreditation is as follows:

1. Selection of processors is based on listing in D1-4426 and not the Nadcap QML.
2. Process codes as designated in this document are required to be accredited by Nadcap commodity and applicable checklist.
3. The frequency of surveillance activities such as process audits and product audits are recommended by a Risk Assessment Tool.
4. This Risk Assessment Tool uses the processor performance history and approved process codes to recommend the number and type of on-site audits for the year.
5. If the process codes listed in the D1-4426 have been accredited by Nadcap, processors with good performance history will have the frequency of surveillance extended or the audit duration reduced by targeting a product/specification.
6. If there are process codes not accredited by Nadcap, the Boeing process representative will perform those audits.
7. Boeing is required to perform initial D1-4426 approvals.
8. All processors will have a Boeing maintenance audit at a minimum frequency of three years.
