1. SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
The purpose of this standard is to describe the intervention process of the D.I.Mat (Direction de
l'Ingnierie des Matriaux: "Ingnirie des Matriaux" Department) for initial sample validation. It
applies to parts and products for which polymer materials are mostly used.
2. PRINCIPLE
A procedure aimed at making the Suppliers responsible is started; it consists in transferring the part
approval responsibility to them using the "laboratory" criteria of the product specifications for the
delivered part in compliance with:
- either Quality Rule Q00 10 A 20 "Assurance Qualit Produit Processus (AQPP) POE Vhicules",
- or Quality Rule Q00 10 A 21 "Assurance Qualit Produit Processus (AQPP) POE Mcanique".
The audit and crossed test procedure applied according to Standard 00-10-003 "Part and product
laboratory self approval" is used to evaluate the Laboratory Self-Approval ability of a Supplier for a
specified part or product. This audit procedure is based on two consecutive and complementary
aspects, i.e.:
- Detailed estimation of the Supplier's evaluation, verification, and test facilities by the D.I.Mat to
complement that performed during the EAQF (Evaluation d'Aptitude Qualit Fournisseur:
supplier quality capability assessment).
- Checking that the results obtained by the Supplier and those obtained by the D.I.Mat laboratory
match according to all the test methods mentioned in the corresponding normative documents.
3. D.I.MAT MATERIAUX POLYMERES ET MISE EN OEUVRE DEPARTMENT COMMITMENT
The Matriaux polymres et mise en oeuvre Department of the D.I.Mat commits itself:
- To organize its interventions within the framework of AQPP by defining three intervention levels
described in paragraph 4. and schematized in annex 1.
- To define the level it wants to apply and make it known from step 1 of the AQPP after having
indicated the product/process/validation criticity level to the Engineering Centre and the
Purchasing sector concerned.
Reminder: The "Achats" Department shall:
. Claim from the Supplier who was found capable of Laboratory Self-Approval by the
D.I.Mat for a given part or product a formal commitment acknowledgement according to
which he acknowledges to bear the entire validation responsibility for the part or product
concerned (see model in Standard 00-10-003, annex 5).
. Organize a penalty system with three seriousness levels towards Suppliers not fulfilling
their commitments.

RENAULT 1999 Page 5/8
4. D.I.MAT INTERVENTION LEVELS
The Supplier systematically transmits to the D.I.Mat a copy of each approval file sent to the AQPP
pilot (GFE (Groupe Fonction Elmentaire: elementary function group) pilot for the bodywork; SQF
(Section Qualit Fournisseur: supplier quality section) pilot for the mechanics) accompanied by one or
several parts so that the D.I.Mat may carry out its mission.
The D.I.Mat intervention process in the initial sample validation which is formalized by an internal
procedure is explained below according to three risk levels:
- LEVEL "A" :
The AQPP pilot makes a decision on the part compliance with respect to the "laboratory" tests of
the product specifications just reading the Supplier's conclusion in the approval file.
The approval file for a part or product is drawn up from the validation plan prepared during step 1
of the AQPP.
In the normal case of supplies from Suppliers having received Laboratory Self-Approval
notification for the part or product, who are therefore capable of performing all the tests of the
product specifications, the intervention level is "A".
In the case where the Supplier declared to have received "Laboratory Self-Approval notification"
for the part or product cannot exceptionally perform such or such test of the product
specifications, it is agreed that he subcontracts the test performance to a laboratory approved by
RENAULT at his expense and under his responsibility. He is obliged to give an approval file
including the results of these tests to the AQPP pilot.
When the Supplier's class is level "A", the opinion of the D.I.Mat is not required during
step 4 of the AQPP.
On the contrary, the D.I.Mat may randomly audit files, even carry out a complete or partial
counter-expertise for the part or product.
If this file audit gives negative results, the opinion of the D.I.Mat transmitted to the AQPP pilot
results in part or product K10 (or K50) quotation.
Any failure or delay preventing the D.I.Mat from performing a possible audit is regarded as a
Supplier's malfunction and penalized according to the rules specified in paragraph 5.
- LEVEL "B" :
The D.I.Mat expects "laboratory" criteria validation for the part or product from the analysis of the
approval file presented by the Supplier.
The D.I.Mat declares part or product approval within a week from the time when the Supplier's
file is received.
In this case, an approval note from the D.I.Mat is required for step 4 of the AQPP.
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 008 / - - -
RENAULT 1999 Page 6/8
Level "B" applies, for instance, in the following cases:
. To a Supplier suspended from his Laboratory Self-Approval capability owing to malfunction
which resulted in the application of a seriousness level 2 penalty by the "Achats"
Department without necessary systematic performance of counter-expertise tests by the
D.I.Mat.
. In the case of supplies from Suppliers found to be reliable enough with respect to the part
quality risks, but without starting or concluding the Laboratory Self-Approval capability
procedure for all that (audit + crossed tests).
. In the case of supplies from Suppliers found to be reliable enough with respect to the part
quality risks, but for which the D.I.Mat wants to read the approval file on the occasion of the
introduction of new tests in the product specifications.
- LEVEL "C" :
The D.I.Mat performs counter-expertises for all or part of the tests specified in the validation
plan. For this purpose, the Supplier is obliged to send the parts subjected to approval
accompanied by a file including the results of the validation tests it has performed.
Level "C" relates to parts from Suppliers not recognized as having received the "Laboratory Self-
Approval notification" for the functions concerned.
In this case, an approval note from the D.I.Mat is required for step 4 of the AQPP.
5. SUPPLIER PENALTIES
In the event of malfunction in the D.I.Mat intervention process owing to the Supplier, an operational
note is sent to the "Achats" Department according to the model given in annex 2.
A penalty system with three seriousness levels is applied by the "Achats" Department towards
Suppliers not fulfilling their commitments.
- Seriousness level 3
It applies to a simple administrative malfunction, and results in the sending of mail to the
Supplier by the "Achats" Department for him to present his corrective action plan.
- Seriousness level 2
It applies to a serious Supplier's malfunction with customer quality repercussions or during
repeated seriousness level 3 incidents.
The Supplier is summoned by the "Achats" Department manager to be "Admonished", with the
threat to be excluded as an Expert Supplier for the part under consideration if a repeated
malfunction is noticed.
The Laboratory Self-Approval capability notification may be challenged.
- Seriousness level 1
It applies to characterized deception or during repeated seriousness level 2 incidents.
The Supplier is summoned by the "Achats" Department manager to be notified:
. his exclusion as an Expert Supplier for future parts for the function under
consideration,
. the cancellation of his Laboratory Self-Approval capability.
