Quality Manual Detail Page:

1) Introduction& Organizational Background:
To reduce the complexity of this document and allow for easy revision of the various documents, Kent Foundry
chooses to reference them here rather than include them.

2) Scope of Registration: Kent Foundry sand casts Grey and /Ductile iron castings using customer supplied
patterns. That is why this scope of registration is the appropriate choice.

3) Application:
First, Kent Foundry applies this QMS to all of our applicable operations. Second, Kent Foundry, by sourcing
reputable vendors to provide services and by subsequent follow up with these vendors, for services such as
heat treating and primer painting, controls the outsourced process.

4) Non Applicable:
8.3 Design and Development of Products and Services - Kent Foundry manufactures to customer specified
drawings and is not design responsible.

Section 8.3.1 General specifically states: The organization shall establish, implement and maintain a design
and development process that is appropriate to ensure the subsequent provision of products and services.

Since Kent Foundry does no planning or controlling of the design of a product, but simply builds it to customer
supplied drawings or simply with customer supplied patterns, Kent Foundry can therefore claim this non
applicable. The other requirements of section 8 cover Kents manufacturing and servicing processes.

Section 8.5.1 Control of production and service provision specifically states: The organization shall
implement production and service provision under controlled conditions. f) The validation, and periodic re-
evaluation, of the ability to achieve planned results of the processes for production and service provisions,
where the resulting output cannot be verified by subsequent monitoring or measurement. NOTE: Unless we
were to x-ray every part for porosity and do a metallurgical test on every part, we cannot verify here at Kent
Foundry. So we cannot claim this non applicable.

Historic reference for 8.5.1:

From 2008: 7.5.2 Validation of process for production and service provision: In our first version of our quality manual, we
considered 7.5.2 as an exclusion: Kent Foundry does not have any processes where the resulting output cannot be verified
for conformity by subsequent monitoring or measuring. However, this is an area of question. We based it on the fact that
ultimately our customer will machine the part and find out if there are holes, etc. But that was leaving it up to the customer for
final verification and does not satisfy the requirement that Kent Foundry verifies it.

5) Quality Manual:
To reduce the complexity of this document and allow for easy revision of the various documents, Kent Foundry
chooses to reference them here rather than include them.

6) Circulation List:. We use software called Quality Link for organizing all of our quality documentation which
is how we control various revisions, distributions, etc. also.

7) Revision History: Also see management minutes as revisions for this document cannot be made without
management team approval.

8) Signatory Approval: Since the document is kept electronically, all distributed copies whether internal or
external will be a Typed In version. A scanned in copy of the signature page is kept on file in Quality Link.
