CHECK LIST VDA 6.2


1. Foreword This audit question catalogue is to be used in principle for the carrying out of certification or surveillance audits. It requires the application of fundamental knowledge of the VDA 6.2 requirements on the part of the user, since points of focus only are referred to and the individual case application must always be taken into account. This check list is based on the general QA check list for ISO 9001:2000. The focal points / cross references are inserted crosswise to the VDA 6.2 additional requirements for each of the flow charts / questions - the ISO 9001:2000 basis has largely been retained. 2. Application of the QA check list The questions in this checklist are directed to the professional auditor, who evaluates and documents the compliance with the standards requirements and the body of regulations. The results of the audit are verified in detail in this manner. This verification contains notes concerning the documents that have been examined together with precise identification and all appraisals in reference to the implementation of the QM system, i.e. the description of random samples. This QA check list can be applied by all QA customers for carrying out internal audits in the course of the preparation for certification or annual audits. The current customer specific requirements / expectations from the QM system are first of all to be found out and these are to be adequately taken into account in the audit planning according to the terms of the ISO 9001:2000 requirements providing the basis, or the specific requirements of VDA 6.2 (also see the QA forms / registration documentation). Taking the requirements form the process model into account the focal points listed in the following in particular are to be harmonized in the audit planning: a.) Identification of the processes determined by the organization based on the agreed customer requirements, the QM system documentation and every additional item of information presented by the organization. b.) Analysis of processes in accordance with the criteria Products and/or services for the customer Risks for the customer Interfaces (inputs / results) Identification of process groups for economic and effective audits Problems for re-checking from earlier audits (external and internal) Customer complaints The creation of value input of the auditing organization

c.) The classification of audit activities according to priority and taking account of:

d.) The completion of the audit program including the sequences / process steps, time management, interview partners and the application of rules for recognition by the VDA-QMC.

CHECK LIST VDA 6.2


The following reference process structure / chart (page 5) and the form covering the most important / processes / corporate goals (page 6) is to be used as the basis for the audit planning / application of the QA check list. In this respect potential interactions / interfaces are to be given particular attention. The planning of the scope of the audit must continue to be in conformity with the certification specifications from VDA 6 (or the QA Automotive Guidelines) in the relevant current editions. The coordinated procedure must also be taken into account in the course of the registration. Should the prerequisites have changed for the certification or surveillance audits (the number of employees in the company / expansion of the scope) then the procedure must be carried out in accordance with the guideline. The audit manager only sets up a check list for a certification. The appraisals made by the entire audit team are collected in this list. In suitable locations reference is made to any additionally added pages (e.g. the auditing of various non-independent locations / extended workbenches etc.); - these insertions are to be comprehensible to the audit manager and must be clearly marked. Following a positive conclusion of the certification / renewal audit the audit documentation is to be attached in accordance with the VDA-QMC requirements for the issuing of certificates. Possible non-conformities are to be established under observation / referencing with regard to the measures record that is to be compiled. An application for the issuing of a certificate is only possible after the successful conclusion of the processing for all the requirements in this respect. 3. Evaluation systematics Upon customers request an evaluation according to the new VDA 6.2 evaluation systematics can be carried out (this is always done in QA). In addition to the effectiveness analysis performed up until now, a risk assessment is also taken into account. In addition to 100% compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 questions, a score of at least 8 is to be achieved for the 13 processes to qualify for the issuing of a VDA 6.2 certificate supplement. Further details on evaluation can be seen on page 39 of this check list.
