1.2 Code of Ethics, Anti-Trust & Conflict of Interest

Jeff Lott reviewed the Code of Ethics, Anti-Trust and Conflict of Interest policy.

1.3 Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes

Motion made by Craig Bowden and seconded by Frank McManus to accept the previous minutes. Motion passed, and the October 2017 NMC Globalization & Strategy Committee meeting minutes were approved.

2.0 ROLLING ACTION ITEM LIST (RAIL)

The Rolling Action Item List (RAIL) was reviewed. There is currently only one open action item, which is a long-term standing item related to the preparations for the Nadcap Meeting in Beijing, which will remain open.

For specific details, please see the attached NMC RAIL.

3.0 OUTSIDE AGENCY ACCREDITATION PROGRAM (OAAP)

Phil Ford gave a presentation regarding an Outside Agency Accreditation Program (OAAP). For more details, please see the attached presentation.

National Aerospace NDT Boards (NANDTB’s) typically control Nondestructive Testing (NDT) personnel examinations via audit and approval of Outside Agencies or via oversight of a third-party audit and approval body. NANDTB compliance with the standard is not currently performed by any accredited agency. Operating procedures and practices of the various NANDTB’s are not standardized. In countries where no NANDTB exists, Outside Agencies are typically unregulated.


CONFIRMED

Aerospace industry already has an efficient and unified process to ensure conformance of product delivered by the Supplier chain, so the recommendation is the implementation of an oversight program of both NANDTB’s and Outside Agencies (in countries where no NANDTB exists) via Nadcap and adopt a unified audit checklist (AC) managed by industry that drives standardization and ensures compliance.

The Nadcap NDT Task Group would like to develop two checklists, which would be managed by the Task Group. The scope would cover the audit and accreditation of the NANDTB’s, which may carry out the following activities:

Develop training course outlines and training material Create examination questions and administer examinations Approve outside and/or internal organizations providing training and/or examination

services Define requirements for qualification of NDT personnel in emerging NDT methods Retain written and practical examinations Designate examiners and/or instructors at outside or internal organizations providing

training and examination services

The second checklist would cover Outside Agencies outside of NANDTB control. The benefits include: driving standardization; improvement of the quality of NDT personnel training and examinations; creates confidence in NANDTB’s; introduction of oversight of Outside Agencies in certain regions without NANDTB’s; visibility and allays concerns of OEM’s; reduction of risk; would satisfy expectation of Regulatory Authority.

The Committee agreed to allow the NDT Task Group to move forward with their proposal.

ACTION ITEM: The NDT Task Group to report back on the progress of this activity at a future Globalization Committee Meeting.

4.0 NADCAP MEETING IN ASIA SUB-TEAM

Kellie O’Connor gave an update on the Nadcap Meeting in Beijing, which will take place 24-27 February 2020. The sub-team meets on a quarterly basis and will plan to meet more frequently as the February 2020 meeting date approaches. There is a list of actions that will be worked on over the coming year, including development of communications for distribution in 2019 to bring visibility to this meeting, as well as invitation letters for visa applications. For more details, please see the attached presentation.

5.0 AERO STRUCTURES ASSEMBLIES

Jim Lewis gave an update on the Aero Structures Assembly (ASA) Task Group’s activities. ASA was formally approved as a Task Group by NMC Steering in June 2017. For more details, please see the attached presentation.


CONFIRMED

The Task Group is working to continue checklist development (AC7135 series) and to encourage Nadcap Subscribers to update their subscriptions to include ASA. At the October 2017 Nadcap Meeting, the Task Group has elected a Chairperson and initiated voting memberships. During the meeting this week, they will resolve Ballot Comments on AC7135/4 Sealing of Aerospace Assemblies and Components, continuing to Work on Baseline (AC7135) and Fastener (AC7135/1) Checklists, develop a Mandate Strategy, draft Operating Procedure Appendices, and develop Auditor Requirements and Interview Questions.

The Task Group is planning to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2018.

6.0 PROCEDURE FOR NEW TASK GROUPS & PROCESSES

Mark Aubele reviewed a presentation in response to action item NMC-41. For more details, please see the attached presentation.

A procedure has now been written around the outline for the processes as stated. OP 1119 “Audit Criteria Development” was used as a basis since it already addressed most of what was needed in regard to the actual checklist development. The procedure, now with the proposed name of “Audit Process and Criteria Development” was distributed to the PRI/Nadcap Management team for a first look. Input was gathered, and revisions were made.

The current status is PRI’s Document Transition Team, which is actively reviewing and revising all of the Nadcap procedures, requested that they be given the opportunity to review this new version of OP 1119. Procedure OP 1119, “Audit Process and Criteria Development”, is now in the hands of the Transition Team. The procedure will be balloted to all applicable parties when the team completes their review.

7.0 REMOTE SERVICE PROVIDERS

Mark Aubele gave an update of the Remote Service Providers Sub-Team. For more details, please see the attached presentation.

Next steps include developing audit criteria, completion of procedure guidance, and then complete and implement the process. To do this, the following items will need to be addressed: Task Groups will complete the criteria development and feed that back to the team; the team will meet to decide which functionality meets the needs of the Task Groups involved (one audit or main and RCA’s); procedures will be completed and balloted to all applicable parties; and ultimately the process will become live with Pilot audits and accreditations taking place.

ACTION ITEM: PRI Staff (Mark Aubele) to present an update on the progress of the Remote Service Providers progress in the two Task Groups which will be utilizing it at the June 2018 Globalization Committee meeting.
