Fabric Reinforced Sealso Conducted by: E. Watson, M. Koucouthakis

Subscriber Requirementso Conducted by: T. Campbell, M. Koucouthakis

ELASTOMER SEALSFEBRUARY 2014

CONFIRMED

Audit Preparation Europe vs Americaso Conducted by: T. Campbell, K. Purnell

Question / Answer / Open Discussion Sessiono Conducted by: K. Purnell, Subscribers and Auditors

Additional SEAL auditors are needed, it was requested that if any attendees knew of an individual with Seal Manufacturing background that would be interested in becoming an auditor, they should contact Keith Purnell at kpurnell@p-r-i.org. One auditor candidate was identified.

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to schedule an auditor interview conference call with the candidate and the SEAL Task Group. (Due Date: 31-Mar-2014)

8.0 AUDIT FAILURE CRITERIA - OPEN

Review Audit Failure Criteria, Single Year Data Compare to Multiple Years of Data

Audit failure criteria from 1 year, 2013, 2 years, 2012 and 2013 combined, 3 years, 2011, 2012 and 2013 combined and 4 years, 2010 to 2013 combined, were reviewed. The reason for reviewing multiple years of data is the limited number of audits performed by the SEAL Task Group. NOP-011 paragraph 4.2 states “New Task Groups are requested to define their failure criteria (Mode B) once a statistically valid number of audits (e.g. 32 audits) have been conducted or at the second anniversary of their checklist publication”. It required 4 years of SEAL audit data to exceed 32 audits. A third day failure criteria also needs to be addressed as Seal manufacturers with a captive lab that is not ISO/IEC 17025 accredited will be required to be audited to the AC7122 checklists.

Establish SEAL Task Group Failure Criteria for 2014

SEAL reviewed the above data and the number of NCR’s per day remained the same and matched the existing failure criteria regardless of the number of years of data used.

Motion made by K. DeFranco and seconded by E. Watson to establish a failure criteria of 2 Major and 3 total NCR’s per day up to 3 audit days. Motion Passed Unanimously.

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to notify M. Graham of the new SEAL failure criteria for 2014. (Due Date: 31-Mar-2014)

9.0 AC7115 AND AC7128 DRAFT COMBINED AUDIT CHECKLIST – OPEN

9.1 Progress Report from SEAL Sub-Team

A SEAL Sub-Team worked on combining the AC7115 and AC7128 checklists for 2-1/2 days during the October 2013 Nadcap meeting. The majority of the general checklist questions including the job audit matrix have been completed; the next step is to develop the job audits questions and format.

9.2 Review and Revision of Draft Checklist

The Draft combined Compression Molding and Fabric Reinforced Seals audit checklist was reviewed and there were numerous questions on how the auditors will use the matrix to determine the applicable audit questions. The checklist format used is the same as Composites (COMP) TG but the majority of SEAL Task Group members were not familiar with this format. After there was a general understanding of how the COMP TG checklist format functions the Task Group broke up into three sub-teams, each developing job audits for different processes.

ACTION ITEM: Sub-Teams to send job audit questions to K. Purnell (Due Date: 1-Mar-2014)

ACTION ITEM: M. Koucouthakis to Draft Checklist Scope and Capability Matrix. (Due Date: 1-Mar-2014)

11.0 AUDITORS – CLOSED

11.1 Data Analysis Review – Overall Auditor Performance

Auditor performance was reviewed and included the most common checklist paragraph referenced in NCRs traceable to the Auditors that wrote the NCRs, audit oversight feedback, average and total NCR per day written by the Auditors. This information is used for evaluating auditor consistency. There was a limited amount of data to review because of the small number of auditors and audits conducted. The need for an additional Americas based SEAL Auditor was identified after reviewing this data. Two additional training topics were identified and incorporated into the 2014 Auditor Conference Outline.

12.0 STAFF ENGINEER DELEGATION – CLOSED

The SEAL TG reviewed the Delegation Tracking Form for K. Purnell. Staff Engineer K. Purnell met the minimum criteria of having at least 10% of findings reviewed by the Task Group Subscribers with at least a 90% concurrence rate. Staff Engineer maintains delegated status.

ELASTOMER SEALSFEBRUARY 2014

CONFIRMED

15.0 JOINT MEETING WITH NON METALLIC MATERIALS MANUFACTURING (NMMM) TASK GROUP AND SEAL TASK GROUP – OPEN

15.1 Discussion of Processes that could overlap both Task Groups

M. Koucouthakis the SEAL TG Chairperson reviewed the current initiatives of the SEAL TG attached below.

Several of these initiatives have some overlap with NMMM such as:

Draft Fabric Reinforced Seals Checklist may impact the AC7122 as SEAL has not identified test requirements for fabric.

SEAL Task Group needs to address press and curing oven calibration requirements and NMMM Task Group is working on AMS2750/1.

Both Task Groups use AC7122 so collaboration on auditor training may be beneficial for consistency.

ACTION ITEM: E. Watson, M. Keal and S. Stefanidou to create a list of lab mechanical tests required for seal related fabric / textile. (Due Date: 1-Jun-2014)

ACTION ITEM: T. Campbell to attend the 26-Feb 2014 NMMM and Heat Treat joint meeting on AMS2750/1 and report back to the SEAL TG. (Due Date: 26-Feb-2014)

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to meet with J. Tibma and determine if any Composites auditors are interested in also performing SEAL audits. (Due Date: 30-Apr-2014)

ACTION ITEM: T. Campbell to obtain copy of Composites questions for Composites to Metal Bonding, to be reviewed at June 2014 SEAL TG meeting. (Due Date: 1-Jun-2014)

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to arrange for a ½ hour joint meeting between NMMM and the SEAL TG at the June 2014 Nadcap meeting to discuss AC7122 auditor training and Fabric / Textile lab test requirements. (Due Date: 15-Apr-2014)

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to determine topics to be addressed for seals in the AC7122-P auditor training. (Due Date: 31-Mar-2014)

16.0 ARP 3051 MOLDED ELASTOMER COMPONENT MANUFACTURING PROCESS REQUIREMENTS – OPEN

16.1 Review of Progress on Draft ARP 3051

The AMS P committee is developing ARP 3051 Molded Elastomer Components Manufacturing Processing Requirements. There are weekly one hour conference calls for developing this document. SEAL TG members have been participating and are encouraged to participate in the development of this document.

SEAL TG reviewed Draft ARP 3051 titled Molded Elastomer Components Manufacturing Processing Requirements. The fabric reinforced seals manufacturing process is also being incorporated into this ARP as it is necessary to comply with the Nadcap Management Council Checklist Vision. The ARP will be issued as an Aerospace Standard when completed.

ELASTOMER SEALSFEBRUARY 2014

CONFIRMED

17.0 AC7122P MATERIAL LAB AUDIT TIME REQUIREMENTS – OPEN

17.1 Subscriber Feedback on Time Required to Perform Captive Lab Audit

Auditor time required to complete AC7122P /1, /2 and /4 questions was discussed. The elastomer specific questions in AC7122P /1, /2 and /4 were reviewed and a total of three different methods of testing are required to be audited. It is not necessary to review all testing methods in one audit as it is the intent that they will be audited on a rolling review basis.

During the 2013 Auditor Conference the auditors thought an additional day would be required to perform this lab audit and the SEAL TG agrees with the auditors’ time assessment. This audit would only be required for Seals Manufacturers whose internal lab is not ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to verify the SEAL TG Preliminary Questionnaire is clear in identifying the AC7122 audit is required unless the manufacturers’ captive laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. (Due Date: 30-Mar-2014)

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to email seal manufacturers and clarify the AC7122 lab audit is required unless their captive lab is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. (Due Date: 20-Mar-2014)

18.0 NOP-012 AUDITOR CONSISTENCY – OPEN

The SEAL TG reviewed the revised NOP-012 and the Auditor Consistency Milestone Plan presentation. They then updated their Milestone spreadsheet to track their progress in the Auditor Consistency pilot program. There was a limited amount of data to review because of the small number of auditors and audits conducted by the TG. Auditor observation appears to be the best way for evaluating SEAL auditors.

ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to update the Auditor Consistency Milestone Spreadsheet and post the Audit Observation Plan. (Due Date: 20-Mar-2014)

19.0 SEAL TG INITIATIVES – OPEN

Review and update SEAL Task Group Priorities
