Revised Record

Revision Revised contents Approved by Date 1.0 Scope

To define the procedure of pre-shipment when product audit will be conducted at manufacturing location and general requirements for final random inspection to Applica products.

2.0 Principle

Confirm inspection schedule, information and document from office.

Check product model and quantity per Applica PO and booking information when at factory. If product model and quantity conform to AAL PO and booking information, conduct pre-shipment inspection.

If product model or quantity does not conform to AAL PO and booking information, report to supervisor and wait for instruction.

3.0 Sampling plan adopted

The sampling plan is used per or <> according to brand name group.

3.1 B&D C=0 Plan

CR=0.065; MAJ=0.65; MIN=2.5; IND=6.5

3.2 Salton’s brand

3.3 Others

ANSI/ASQZ1.4 (Mil-Std- 105E), CR=0; MAJ=1.0; MIN=4.0 4.0 Inspection Procedure

4.1 Check measuring equipments setting and calibration date. 4.2 Start checking

Checking criteria per Best/Prod spec. /Marketing spec. /ID spec. /Graphic artwork and data form. Checking criteria: shipping information, packaging, safety/functional performance and mechanical performance. Reliability and transit test. 4.3 After checking

Ask factory QA for confirming non-conformance items and signature on Applica pre-shipment inspection report.

Issue inspection report with shipping disposal.

Issue <>, if the lot product is passed.

Report inspection result to supervisor A.S.A.P (by phone) if the lot product is rejected or held. The report must be distributed to relative departments to follow up.

If the disposal is “release” or “use as is” or “rejected”, the supplier should send “Correction Action Plan” to Applica QA Manager.

5.0 Defect classification as per<> 5.1 Glossary:

Consumer: The end user who purchases from a customer.

Customer: Point of sale organization, i.e. distribution center, department stores, wholesale stores, etc.

Non-conformance: Any exceeding to applicable Black&Decker specifications. 5.2 Classifications

Any exceeding to applicable specifications will be classified per the definitions identified in 5.3-5.6:

5.3 Critical(safety/regulatory and functional failures)

5.3.1 Any non-conformance which is liable to cause or lead to personal injury or property damage. 5.3.2 Any non-conformance which will cause initial operating failure of the unit.

5.3.3 Any non-conformance which is in direct violation of specified laws and/or regulations, customer

requirements e.g. incorrect or missing UL information, missing UPC and bar codes. 5.3.4 Any consumer safety related product non-conformance which have been specifically designated

as critical by the NAHPG B&D Safety Committee (reference the Product Attribute List shown in D3BB-Final Product Audit Plan). 5.4 Major(non-conformance that will result in customer/consumer returns)

5.4.1 Any non-conformance affecting the unit life or performance which likely causes the unit failure

of its intended function and will likely result in returning product. 5.4.2 Any non-conformance of the unit or carton (including visual) which is obviously noticeable to

the customer/consumer, and which is sufficiently severe to result in a complaint or failure as first class product. 5.4.3 Any missing parts or components (not safety related) per the B.O.M or product specifications. 5.5 Minor(Non-conformance that create a consumer nuisance)

Page 3 of 12

Any defect on visual appearance that may cause non-comfortable in visual organ, but does not result in return and complaint.

5.6 Incidental (non-conformance not noticed by consumer)

Any non-functional / non-conformance which is a deviation from specification, but will not result in a consumer complaint or return.

6.0 Requirements

6.1 100% In-Process checks are required for the critical non-conformances specified in 5.3.1. 6.2 100% In-Process checks or documented process capability for the critical non-conformance specified in 5.3.1. 6.3 Specific sample plans and AQL's for each product/component will be defined and documented. 6.4 The preferred sampling plan is C=0.

Unless otherwise specified in the Quality Plan, the following associated AQL's (Acceptable Quality Levels) shall be applied to the non-conformance classifications when using C=0 Sample Plans.

Critical classification-AQL= 0.065* Major classification-AQL= 0.65 Minor classification-AQL= 2.5 Incidental classification-AQL= 6.5

*Note: An AQL of 0.065 for critical classifications is permissible provided the requirements of

6.1and 6.2 are met. Receiving Inspection, In-Process Inspection, and Final Audit Plan AQL's, will be specified in these Quality Plans and in most cases will be equal to or tighter than AQL's specified in 6.4.

Alternate Sampling Plan ANSI/ASQZ1.4 (MIL-Std-105E) can be used when product amount is too many.
