Supplier Response Guidelines:

NDT Supplier Response Guidelines

Please be sure to adhere to the following requirements when submitting corrective action responses to the Staff Engineer. Not following these guidelines will likely contribute to unnecessary delays in accreditation.


1) All corrective action responses and objective evidence need to be submitted in eAuditNet as required by the eAuditNet Suppliers Guide. NOTE: Corrective action responses are to be entered directly into eAuditNet as a “reply”. They are not to be provided as an attachment. Only objective evidence is to be attached.


*** The eAuditNet Suppliers Guide is located in eAuditNet under “Public Documents” then “eAuditNet Users Guides.” See the section entitled “After the Nadcap Audit” for specific requirements. Please take the time to review this information.) ***


2) All responses must address each of the following elements. (We recommend that you copy the following headings, paste (headings only) these into a word-processing program and work these “off line.” Post them to eAuditNet when you are finished.)


(A) Immediate Corrective Action Taken (Containment Actions): (This is the action taken to address the immediate problem.)


(B) Root Cause of Nonconformance: (This is not a restatement of the finding. The root cause is the systemic element that once corrected will prevent recurrence of this issue. Be sure that you take the time to identify the root cause of the finding. For additional help go to: http://www.pri-network.org/training/frameset1.htm


(C) Impact of all Identified Causes and the Root Cause: (If a specification requirement was violated and certification to that specification was issued, the extent of the violation must be identified and affected customers must be notified and evidence of this provided with the response.)


(D) Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence: (This is the systemic fix to the root cause. For example: developed a computerized recall system that prints out workorders for recalibration two weeks prior to the due date. If not recalibrated by the due date, the system issues a written notice to the Calibration Engineer to remove or identify the expired item as out of service.)


(E) Objective Evidence Attached: (For all audits objective evidence of implementation of all corrective actions must be provided for all findings. This includes revised procedures, evidence of training, etc. NOTE: Objective evidence is not needed for findings accepted on-site by the auditor.)

NDT U-FAX #+1 614-635-2708


(F) Effectivity Date: (When will the corrective actions be completely implemented? Accreditation generally cannot be issued until after this date.)


3) Be sure to review and understand each finding and paragraphs referenced in that finding. (Also review the completed checklist in eAuditNet to ensure that your response provides corrective actions addressing each “NO” answer tagged to that finding.)


4) Take the time to properly address each of the above 5 elements. Do not be in a hurry to submit responses just to meet a deadline. It is more important that the responses be right than to be “on time.”


***It is also important to realize that the Nondestructive Testing Task Group allows up to three (3) rounds to adequately address root cause and corrective action. If an audit reaches four (4) rounds, potential failure of audit can occur. If the audit is failed, this halts processing of that audit and requires a new initial audit at the supplier’s expense to re-enter the accreditation process.***
