Clause 8.7 addresses control of nonconforming outputs + customer concession + Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). Conceptual coverage: 8.7 Control of Nonconforming Outputs (general - identify + control + prevent unintended use + delivery; documented information); 8.7.1 General + 8.7.1.1 Customer Authorization for Concession (process required when customer concession applies + obtain authorization in writing prior to production/shipment + tracking + customer notification); 8.7.1.2 Control of Nonconforming Product - Customer-Specified Process; 8.7.1.3 Control of Suspect Product; 8.7.1.4 Control of Reworked Product; 8.7.1.5 Control of Repaired Product; 8.7.1.6 Customer Notification (statutory + regulatory + customer-specific notification + recall + corrective action). Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) per AIAG PPAP Manual 4th edition (or 5th edition published 2023) - automotive-specific approval process for new part + design change + process change + supplier change + manufacturing site change + tooling change; PPAP submission levels 1-5 per customer requirement; 18 elements (Design Records + Engineering Change + Customer Engineering Approval + DFMEA + Process Flow + PFMEA + Control Plan + MSA + Dimensional Results + Material Performance + Initial Process Studies + Qualified Lab + Appearance Approval + Sample Production Parts + Master Sample + Checking Aids + Customer-Specific Requirements + Part Submission Warrant PSW); production part approval before shipment in series production. Coordinates with AIAG PPAP + VDA PPF (Production Process and Product Approval) parallel European-style. IATF 16949 Clause 8 Nonconforming + Concession + PPAP applies.
