Issued 1997-07 Revised 2013-7 Superseding AC7114/2 Rev F

TO BE USED ON OR AFTER NOVEMBER 3, 2013 Nadcap AUDIT CRITERIA FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING FACILITY MAGNETIC PARTICLE SURVEY

SCOPE
These Audit Criteria define the requirements for suppliers seeking Nadcap accreditation in Magnetic Particle and are to be used as a supplement to PRI AC7114. These criteria and the applicable User Prime Supplemental Checklists will ensure that NDT suppliers meet the requirements for Nadcap accreditation in Magnetic Particle. Note: This checklist is not applicable to the Yoke or Permanent Magnet techniques.

GENERAL INFORMATION
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 in the NCR if the No" reflects noncompliance with respect to existence, adequacy, and/or compliance. Existence relates to evidence of a documented procedure or policy, adequacy relates to the completeness of the procedure or policy, and compliance relates to evidence of effective implementation. This checklist includes the use of the word shall which indicates a clear requirement that must be met at all times. The word, may indicates a possible resolution to a requirement or one recommended method to achieve a given requirement but does not represent the only way to meet that requirement. In addition the checklist includes the term Compliance Assessment Guidance. This term is used to reflect the Task Groups expectation when answering the checklist question as YES or N/A. The auditor must verify the list of procedures provided by the supplier at the time of the audit. Any corrections or updates to the list must be identified using notes, inserted at the applicable criterion. All negative responses require a Nonconformance Report (NCR). Not Applicable (N/A) responses do not require an explanation unless otherwise noted. There is only one plausible reason for an N/A, which is, that a particular operation or issue is not being used at the supplier. There are no N/As simply for a lack of a customer requirement. If a system is in use, then all questions pertaining to that system are applicable. If verification of results require documentation it shall be so noted in this checklist. The audit results shall not include any customer proprietary information. Technical information on parts which have been designated Export Controlled License Required (EC-LR) cannot be input into eAuditNet. If auditors have any questions about this, they should contact the Staff Engineer for directions. GO FORWARD PLAN Any new or revised procedure made after 4 December 2006 requires compliance to the following requirements. Procedures written prior to this date shall be acceptable; however a system needs to be in place to ensure that changes reflect the current Nadcap requirements.
