Questions for your situation
Is an FPC certificate structural approval of the building project?
No. Factory production control assessment differs from structural design and local approvals. Define any manufacturer's design responsibilities separately. Certification does not establish suitability of every component for every project. Compare declared product performance and conditions of use with project needs.
Which stages should an audit project sample connect?
Link contract requirements, drawing revisions, material acceptance, manufacturing, welding, necessary examinations and delivery records. Associate critical changes and nonconformities with the same project. This demonstrates actual application of the control system. A procedures folder alone does not prove compliance with project specifications.
Does welding qualification alone satisfy the execution class?
Welding is important, but material traceability, cutting, drilling, bolted connections and other relevant manufacturing controls may also apply. Assess class-dependent requirements across the process. One welder qualification or ISO 3834 certificate does not automatically satisfy the entire EN 1090 scope.
How should semi-finished components received from another factory be controlled?
Define identification, technical specifications, necessary performance or manufacturing records and acceptance responsibility. Work shared between organisations must retain traceability. Assess how your subsequent processing affects previous performance. Verify that supplier documentation represents the particular semi-finished components received.
What happens when a drawing revision arrives after production starts?
Identify components manufactured to the old revision, technical effects and acceptance decisions. Record rework, customer approval or alternative-use needs. Filing the new drawing does not make earlier production automatically acceptable. Maintain connections between revisions, manufacturing records and deliveries.
How should scope extension be planned alongside surveillance?
Compare requested material, execution class, process and site changes with the current certificate. Prepare new competence and implementation evidence beforehand. Clarify additional duration and decision stages for extension alongside surveillance. Include certificate status and outstanding findings in the plan.
