ASME B18.18.6M:1998 pdf download Qualily Asurance Plan fop faseners Produced in a Third Party Acreditation System
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Basic Plan Structure
This plan is for a quality system that has beencertified by a third party process utilizing independentaudits under the provisions of a third party accreditationprogram administered by a consensus standards organi-zation. It is intended to serve as a Quality AssurancePlan for externally and internally threaded fastenersand accessories or associated parts, It is to be used inconjunction with other part-specific quality plans whichhave been agreed to berween manufacturer and pur-chaser. The Basic Plan Outline is included in Fig. 1.This Standard requires that manufacturers must bequalified under provisions of third party accreditationincluded in the referenced standards.
