I PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to provide for a system and instructions for product
identification and traceability.
II APPLICATION
III RESPONSIBLE
IV PROCEDURE
1.1 Purchased materials and parts are identified with unique part numbers, thickness or
names. The identification is the same as used in drawings, specifications, bills of
materials, part lists, purchase orders, etc.
1.2 Materials and parts identified by marking, labeling or tagging the packaging
or containers holding them and, when appropriate and practical, by labeling the
products themselves. Products may be also identified by general identification of the
area dedicated for storage of particular product.
1.3 Materials and parts identification is maintained while the products are in storage
and/or are staged for production.
2.1 During all stages of production, in-house manufactured parts and subassemblies are
usually identified by the Shop Schedule, traveler tags, product labels and other
documents and records created during manufacturing, assembly, and inspection or
testing of a product. These documents and records are kept in the area where the
product is being processed or is staged for the next processing step.Tooling were
identified by permanently marked part numbers
2.2 All control run or risk run parts shall be identified with a labels, and properly
segregated.
2.3 When the products need to do rework or sorting at any stages in production or QA,
they shall be labeled with the Non Conformance label.
Product Identification and Traceability
Operational Procedure : OP-7.5.3 Revision: 7 Page 4/6
3.1 Final products are identified by their part name, part number or model number. The
identification is a product label and/or is printed on the product packaging. As for
control run or risk run parts, an additional label shall be used to indicate the purpose
of the control run and risk run and quantity.
3.2 When traceability is required, products are identified with their lot numbers and/or
carton labels.
4.1 Quality Assurance maintains records correlating each issued part number to
corresponding drawings, specifications, technical data, and other documentation
defining the part.
4.2 For products that are assembled from numerous parts, Quality Assurance will be
issuing the product specification to production. The specification correlates the lot
number and/or carton labels of products, or individual products with the parts lists
used in their manufacture and assembly
5. Traceability
5.2 When required, purchased products are traceable to their purchase orders and thereby
to their original inspection, testing or other such quality records supplied with the
products.
5.3 During production, traceability are maintained using Shop Schedule Lot No.,
inspection records, Traveler Tag/2ND. Process tag and other such documents and
records established during the manufacture, assembly, inspection, and testing of a
product.
V RECORDS
1.1 When traceability is required, Production and Quality Assurance maintains (or
coordinates) the traceability record. The record usually consists of Lot No.; parts and
components used; process data; and product inspection and testing reports. The exact
scope of the required traceability record for a given product is documented in
manufacturing specifications or the production Shop Schedule.
1.2 Whenever possible and practical, traceability information is recorded directly on the in-

process inspection report. For each relevant operation, inspectors record, equipment,
process parameters and other such traceability information, as required.
