In completing this assessment, auditors are instructed to respond with a

“YES” or “NO” to address compliance with each statement of
requirement. For any negative responses, the auditor must clearly
indicate if the “NO” reflects noncompliance with respect to existence,
adequacy, and/or compliance. Existence relates to evidence of a
procedure or policy, adequacy relates to the completeness of the
procedure or policy and compliance relates to evidence of effective
implementation.

All negative responses require a Nonconformance Report (NCR) or

explanation.

All “Not Applicable” (NA) responses must be explained.

The audit results should not include any Customer proprietary or

International Traffic in Arms Regulations/Export Administration
Regulations (ITAR/EAR) information, as it may be viewed by any
Nadcap subscriber.

Definitions as well as Customer specific references are located in the

CMSP Audit Handbook and Audit Handbook Appendix A – Subscriber
References. These guidance documents are located in eAuditNet
Public Documents.

2.2 Instructions for the Supplier

2.2.1 Prior to the Audit

The Supplier shall complete a self-audit to AC7126 and applicable

process checklists in preparation for this audit. All internally identified
nonconformances should be corrected prior to the actual audit. All not
applicable (“NA”) answers must be explained.

The Supplier shall forward the following to the assigned auditor at least
30 days prior to the scheduled audit (in English, unless otherwise
agreed between auditor and Supplier)

The submitted information should not include any Customer proprietary

or International Traffic in Arms Regulations/Export Administration
Regulations (ITAR/EAR) information.

List of current quality systems approval (Registrars, Customers,

expirations, etc.)

Completed copy of the self-audit checklists (including job audits and

explanations for questions marked NA, noting the procedure number
and clause where applicable).

A drawing or detailed list defining the equipment used for processing

those parts for which Nadcap accreditation is sought.
PRI AC7126 Revision C -3-

2.2.1.1 Did the Auditee make a copy of their completed self-audit available to YES NO
the auditor at least 30 days prior to the audit date - utilizing the version
of the checklist(s) applicable to this audit?
Compliance Assessment Guidance (CAG): Nadcap recommends the
following:
Self-audit to be performed 90- 120 days prior to the scheduled audit. In
the event of a checklist(s) revision, a 90-day notification is required to
allow sufficient time for compliance. An audit against the changes is
acceptable if it supplements the existing self-audit -therefore together
meeting the expectation to utilize the version of the checklist applicable
to the scheduled audit

2.2.1.2 For each question in the checklist, has the Supplier identified where the YES NO
means of compliance or evidence* of compliance may be found.
(* procedure, checklist, physical location of evidence, etc.)

2.2.1.3 Does the self-audit include job audits as required by the Task Group? YES NO
CAG: The CMSP Task Group requires that one job audit per relevant
Subscriber per checklist shall be completed.

2.2.2 During the Audit

The Supplier shall provide for an in-briefing with the auditor. Key
members of the applicant’s staff should attend the in-briefing so the
audit purpose, methods, and assessment processes can be discussed.

Working space for the auditor with desks or tables, chairs, telephone,
etc. shall be made available. Clerical, typing and reproduction services
are to be provided, as required. This is not a full time assignment.

Auditor shall verify the scope of accreditation and modify it in eAuditNet

as required in agreement with the Supplier.

Job audits should be selected based on rotation of Subscribers, part

number and other criteria such as equipment and operators. The job
tracker shall be used to help select job audits.

A final out-briefing shall be conducted at the completion of the audit.

Each nonconformance and observation will be reviewed and the
Supplier will be given the opportunity to discuss proposed corrective
action or to provide any additional information.

2.2.3 Following the Audit

PRI AC7126 Revision C -4-

In accordance with Nadcap procedures, the Supplier has 21 calendar

days from the close of the audit to submit a corrective action plan and
identify effective dates for each NCR. The response must address the
immediate action taken to resolve the discrepancy, the root cause of
the nonconformance from a systems management approach, and the
actions taken or to be taken to preclude reoccurrence. When objective
evidence is required, it shall be submitted within 21 calendar days from
the close of the audit.

PRI Staff or the Task Group may, after review of the audit report,
require additional information or may find cause to issue additional
findings.

The CMSP Task Group may, upon review, change the auditors’
determination of a finding or observation.

Nonconformances identified as part of the Nadcap audit with potential

product impact may, at the CMSP Task Group’s discretion, require a
VCA (verification of corrective action) follow-up audit at the Supplier’s
expense.
NOTE: Final authority over the audit report, acceptability of corrective
actions and accreditation recommendation rests with the Task Group.

2.3 Job Audits

A minimum of two job audits are normally required for each checklist. If
there are multiple methods checked for a given checklist, then at least
one job audit is performed per method. If there is a satellite audit, then
two job audits per checklist are performed at the satellite location
unless otherwise arranged with the staff engineer.

It is preferred that live audits are performed. When no hardware is

currently in production, a scrap part or non-production material may be
utilized.

When any of the above are not available, a completed production job
may be audited; the expectation is that it is of a recent production job.
The auditor will still audit the set-up, tools, fixtures, parameters,
operators, etc. by simulating the job without any material at the
machine.

Auditing/Certifying Agency Audit Criteria Certificate Issue Date Certificate Expiration Date

The Nadcap CMSP Task Group recognizes PRI AC7004 and/or a

Nadcap approved quality system in accordance with Nadcap OP
1114. If the Supplier has been audited and has an approved quality
system in accordance with the requirements of Nadcap OP 1114,
then no further assessment for quality systems existence will be
required. Although specific audit criteria for evaluation of the general
quality system is not included within the text of this checklist, the
requirements of the Supplier’s approved quality system do form a part
of the standard used in the Nadcap CMSP Accreditation program. As
such, auditors may identify and record nonconformances related to
the quality system. These nonconformances must be addressed by
the Supplier in order to obtain Nadcap accreditation.

This checklist includes process-focused criteria that test the quality

system for compliance relative to conventional machining as a special
process.

If there is no evidence of an AS/EN/JISQ9100 or an AC7004, then an

AC7004 audit will be included in conjunction with this audit.

needed, 4) approved by the Customer if needed?
CAG: The Supplier must define their system. In addition, if there are
any Customer requirements they must also be incorporated into the
procedure. Also, the auditor is to verify the system by investigating a
process that was changed or if no changes have been made verify
that personnel are aware of the procedure.

6. CONTROL OF SUB-CONTRACTORS
