ASACB has a representative on this working group. The goal for the update and with a release date of 2020. This working group is looking to better clarifying requirements and align with other industry documents such as ISO 17021, IAF MD-1 and MD-5. ASACB has also joined a workgroup focusing on “Additive Engineering and Manufacturing” which is a new technology that is taking off within the Aviation, Space and Defense realm. ASACB is positioning itself to stay on the forefront of information regarding this new technology. If you are interested in understanding existing changes or new projects within the AS9000 sector standards please contact Sam O'Connor, Vice President Technical Services ASA/ASACB or George Ringger, Sr. Accreditation Manager ASACB for Wyndie Meyer, Accreditation Manager for clarification or concerns. NextGen OASIS Update In 2018 OASIS was updated to track “Cause Codes” for issued non-conformances. The IAQG is requesting all audited organizations to identify which cause-code is applicable to the issued audit non-conformances. This information will be complied and used on future reporting on industry trends. Please note certification bodies have been instructed not to hold up closure of a non-conformance if the cause code has not been identified. The accreditation bodies have also stated that they will not issue non-conformances against a CB’s process for non-conformance closure if this information is omitted. ASACB will request its certified organizations to supply this information to ensure data relating to this matter is factual and brings value to the industry. The following cause code matrix has been added to the AS9101F NCR form 4.
