IATF 16949:2016 - Quality Management System for Automotive Production 4.4.1.2: Product safety

What does 4.4.1.2 require?

Documented processes cover products and manufacturing processes that relate to product safety and, where applicable, address thirteen elements, including: identifying the statutory and regulatory requirements for product safety and informing the customer of them; special approvals for design FMEAs, control plans and process FMEAs; identifying safety-related characteristics and controlling them where manufacture takes place; reaction plans; set responsibilities with an escalation process and a flow of information that reaches top management and the customer; training for the staff involved; approving any change to product or process before it is made, with an assessment of how it affects safety; passing product-safety requirements through the supply chain, customer-designated sources included; traceability through the supply chain, at least by manufactured lot; and lessons learned for introducing new products. A special approval is an extra approval by the function, usually the customer, responsible for documents whose content bears on safety. As revised: SI 2 (October 2017): the note on special approval is clarified as an approval that the customer, or the organization's own processes, may call for.
