Procurement Quality Requirements

 

 

Scope

 

This Quality Assurance Specification establishes the specific quality requirements that apply when one or more of the following Quality Requirements (QR’s) are specified by code on Aerospace International Representatives (AIReps) Purchase Orders.  These requirements are in addition to those set forth in any other contractual document.  The provisions indicated herein are an integral part of a Purchase Order.

 

Compliance with these requirements does not reduce Seller responsibility for furnishing materials and services that fully comply with all Drawing(s) and Specification(s) Requirements, nor does it guarantee acceptance of materials or services by AIReps.  In the event that materials or services are found to be defective and cannot be demonstrated by the Seller to be in conformance with the Purchase Order Requirements, AIReps shall have the right to reject them.
