Input control of materials

Incoming control should be understood as quality control of the supplier’s products received by the consumer or customer and intended for use in the manufacture, repair or operation of products.

The main tasks of input control can be:

– obtaining with high reliability an assessment of the quality of products presented for control;

– ensuring the unambiguity of mutual recognition of the results of product quality assessment by the supplier and the consumer, carried out according to the same methods and according to the same control plans;

– establishing compliance of product quality with established requirements in order to timely submit claims to suppliers, as well as for operational work with suppliers to ensure the required level of product quality;

– prevention of launching into production or repair of products that do not meet the established requirements.

The decision on the need to introduce, tighten, weaken or cancel the input control is made by the consumer based on the features, nature and purpose of the product or the results of the input control of the product for the past period or the results of its operation (consumption).

Input control of products can be continuous, selective or continuous (see section 4).

The products accepted by the supplier’s quality control department and received by the consumer with the accompanying documentation drawn up in the prescribed manner should be received for incoming control.

In the absence of accompanying documentation certifying the quality and completeness of products (especially for imported ones), and the needs of production dictate the need to use these products, then its use in production is possible in agreement with the design department after testing for compliance with domestic RTD with the obligatory drawing up of an act on its actual quality and completeness, indicating the missing documents.
