At the expiration of such period set forth above and prior to any disposal of records, Supplier will notify AVIC XAC of records to be disposed of and AVIC XAC reserves the right to request delivery of such records. In the event AVIC XAC chooses to exercise this right, Supplier must promptly deliver such records to AVIC XAC at no additional cost on media agreed to by both parties.

AVIC XAC requires that the provisions/requirements set forth above be included in Supplier direct supply contracts related to the Products/Part Numbers.

1.1 Supplier must ensure that all of the control activities listed within the AQMS standard are applicable and addressed within the Supplier’s processes for control of documented information.

8 Operation

8.1 Operational Planning and Control

1.0 ‘Work-Transfer’ is defined as movement or re-location of work to be performed, either by Seller or Seller’s Supply Chain, from one facility to another, from Seller to a supplier in Seller’s Supply Chain, from a supplier in Seller’s Supply Chain to Seller, or from one supplier in Seller’s Supply Chain to another supplier in Seller’s Supply Chain (including to any affiliate of Seller).

Seller will not and will ensure supply chain will not, Initiate a Work Transfer without prior written approval from Boeing and AVIC XAC. Seller will complete and submit Boeing form X***** “Supplier Initiated Work Transfer Notification” (including required implementation plans).

Seller acknowledges the Work-Transfer approval process. May take 120 M-days, depending on: (i) complexity of the Work-Transfer; (ii) Seller’s, including Seller’s Supply Chain, as applicable, cooperation and timeliness in the process; (iii) completeness of plan(s) and/or submittals; and (iv) regulatory notifications and approvals, if any.

Seller agrees the Work-Transfer process may not occur according to Seller’s schedule.

Boeing and AVIC XAC reserve the right to deny a Work-Transfer.

NONCONFORMANCE: NOTIFICATION OF ESCAPEMENT (NOE) PROCESS

Note: **Do not use the NOE process to notify AVIC XAC engineering of escapements related to design errors (i.e., certification, product design, and/or business agreement noncompliance). Notify AVIC XAC of escapements related to design errors using the Design Escapement Notification (DEN) process as applicable in Section 2 of this note. A notification to AVIC XAC of a known or suspect nonconformance is not appropriate for a component if the nonconformance is not associated to a product characteristic.**

Note: The steps shown herein are to be used for new or completed investigations when additional data is discovered. Please see the additional scope guidelines located at the bottom of section one.

For Product(s) which have been delivered to or on behalf of AVIC XAC and Seller knows or suspects that such Product(s) are or may be nonconforming, Seller shall, within 3 business days after the day of discovery of a potential escape, the notification from sub-tier supplier, and/or the entry of the issue into the quality process, notify AVIC XAC in writing as set forth herein to allow AVIC XAC to conduct a preliminary safety risk assessment. The minimum information required at this stage of the notice of investigation are:

a. Affected process(es) or Product(s) part number(s) and name(s);

b. Description of the nonconforming condition and the affected engineering requirement (i.e., what it is, what it should be and per what requirement).

If the condition is a possible safety of flight issue, submit all available information immediately. This applies to new or initial instances of an escape or potential escape, escapes or potential escapes that were previously identified and isolated by AVIC XAC but Seller identifies additional units or a nonconformance cannot be inspected for the same nonconformance condition. This notification requirement is applicable to all Sellers, including Sellers with D-*****-4 Appendix C Escaped Product Disposition authority.

Seller shall conduct an investigation to confirm and identify if a nonconformance exist or is suspected to exist.

Seller shall notify AVIC XAC.

Such notification shall include the information set forth below along with any information that may be on the Boeing supplier information system or in Form X***** referenced above.

Once a nonconformance has been verified as from the supplier quality management system, all information listed in a and b above (including revisions and updates) as well as c and d listed below shall be submitted to AVIC XAC within 10 business days from the day of escape confirmation unless otherwise agreed upon by AVIC XAC on a case by case basis.

c. Quantities, shipping dates, purchase orders and destinations of delivered shipments;

d. Suspect/affected serial number(s) or FO Number, AO Number, lot numbers, or other part identifiers and airplane line units when applicable.

Seller shall submit a root cause analysis and corrective action within the required timeframe in the event that Seller has identified an escape in the products delivered to AVIC XAC.
