Policy:

Records shall be established and maintained to provide evidence of the

effective operation of the Company's Quality Management System (QMS).

Purpose:

Demonstrate conformance to specified requirements and effective

operation of the QMS; describe/explain how QMS records are to be
maintained.
Records are generated and analyzed to determine if a given process is

achieving stated objectives and meeting process criteria and to determine

defects for correction or if a trend indicates corrective action is needed.
Scope:

This procedure applies to all records regardless of their form that serve
to record the Companys activities related to product/service quality and
are required to demonstrate implementation of and conformance to the
Companys QMS.

Responsibiliti
es:

Document Control is responsible for maintaining a list of the Company's

quality records and controlling quality record distribution.
All personnel are responsible for ensuring records they generate are
accurate, timely, and legible.

Definitions:

Record Anything retained to provide and preserve permanent evidence

of, or information about, an event (e.g., physical or electronic document,
photograph, or product sample).

Procedure:

1.0 IDENTIFICATION OF QUALITY RECORDS

1.1

Typically, when a form either hard copy or electronic is filled, it becomes a

quality record. Completed forms are controlled documents and are, therefore, part
of the Company's document control system (see QP1000 DOCUMENT CONTROL).

1.2

Each Company department or functional group shall be responsible for generating

and maintaining adequate records to demonstrate effective operations, as defined
specifically by each QMS procedure, and to show conformance to customer,
regulatory, and standards-based requirements.

1.3

Blank forms should be consistently formatted and grouped by department and/or

function. Blank forms may be centrally located or distributed to departments,
depending on the Company's needs. (The Company may choose to "distribute"
blank forms via its intranet, for standardization and control purposes.)

1.4

Quality records shall contain the following, at a minimum:

1.5

When the record was created (date and, if necessary, time of day);

Information on the thing, situation, or event; and

A unique record identifier.

Document Control shall maintain a QP1010-1 QUALITY RECORDS LIST, a complete

list of the Company's quality records. The QP1010-1 should contain the following
for each quality record:

A unique identifier (e.g., sequentially numbered ID);

A description of the record;

SAMPLE POLICY FROM ISO 9001 QMS POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND FORMS
MANUAL INCLUDES A LIST OF TOPICS AND FORMS

The location of the quality record;

Minimum retention time; and

Directions for record disposition.

NOTE: Records required by ISO 9001 are indicated with the applicable
clause number on the QP1010-1 sample form at the end of this procedure.

2.0 RECORD GENERATION

2.1

Every employee may generate quality records in the course of performing their
normal duties (e.g., production monitoring logs, receiving logs). Such records
should be identified within an appropriate QMS procedure.
Electronic records of quality management activity may be generated
automatically (see QP1210 MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT OF PROCESS,
QP1220 MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT OF PRODUCT; also see Reference
"C").

2.2

All quality records must be accurate, timely, legible, and readily accessible for
reference and verification purposes.

2.3

Hardcopy quality records should be completed in ink or on word processing

software, to help ensure legibility and to help protect them from unauthorized
change. Electronic quality records should be write-protected and access restricted
to enforce change control; Document Control or other manager-department
authorized by Top Management should control access to electronic records.

2.4

Individual quality records should not be changed, as a rule. If necessary, changes

or corrections to hardcopy records should be made with a single line through the
incorrect entry. The change/correction should be written in ink and dated and
initialed by the person making the change. Correction fluid or tape should not be
used.
Electronic records should not be changed. Instead, "corrections" should be
initiated by Management. Disposition of old electronic records (purging,
reversing, archiving, etc.) should be a matter of Company policy.

3.0 RECORD MAINTENANCE

3.1

3.2

The authority associated with a particular quality record (e.g., Production Manager
for production records) shall ensure that records are maintained in an environment
that prevents their damage, deterioration, alteration, or loss.

Document Control shall control access to hardcopy, electronic, and other

records (see References").

Relative to their importance to the Company, records should be backed up

periodically in accordance with business, customer, and
statutory/regulatory requirements.

Document Control shall ensure that quality records are readily retrievable.

SAMPLE POLICY FROM ISO 9001 QMS POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND FORMS
MANUAL INCLUDES A LIST OF TOPICS AND FORMS

3.3

Records shall be made available for customer and/or regulatory review, in

accordance with all contractual and regulatory requirements.

Records shall be made available to auditors, as required by ISO 9001 and

other applicable standards (e.g., ISO 14001).

Records shall be available to employees for the purposes of monitoring,

measurement, and trend analysis.

Inactive quality records may be archived before minimum retention times

are reached, if circumstances warrant. Archived records must be
controlled and maintained and should be reasonably retrievable.

Quality records shall be retained for no less than the period of time required by
applicable statutes, regulations, and/or contractual requirements. Unless otherwise
indicated, quality records shall be disposed after their minimum retention time is
attained (see QP1010-1 QUALITY RECORDS LIST).
Effectiveness Criteria:

Quality records verify the Company's conformance to requirements

Records are accurate and up-to-date

A. ISO 9001:2008, Quality Management Systems-Requirements, International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), Nov., 2008.
B. Statutory/Regulatory Requirements
The Company should be familiar with and be able to demonstrate
conformance to applicable statutes and regulations pertaining to
recordkeeping and control of records. Examples of laws governing
recordkeeping include:

The Eighth European Union (EU) Directive;

Financial Instruments and Exchange Law (Japan);

The Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of

2002, also known as "Sarbanes-Oxley" or "SOX" (USA); and

Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Protection of the Environment (USA).
