Quality Management System
This Quality Manual provides an overview of FCI‟s quality system and identifies the processes
used to ensure that our products and servicing (customer and Field Services) meet specified
requirements. The processes described in this Manual are aimed at achieving customer
satisfaction by preventing nonconformities at all stages of design, product realization, service, and
delivery.
The Quality Manual shall be in English and is available in the database system.
FCI has developed and implemented a quality management system, based on the ISO 9001 and
AS9100 (current revision), the Quality System Requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix B, 14CFR
Part 21.137 (a)-(n) and the basic Quality System Requirements of ANSI NQA-1-2000 to support
our quality policy. This Manual defines the quality management system. Procedures and work
instructions provide additional detail. Procedures address the “what, when and where” and
include responsibilities, objectives, and activities for each applicable function in the company.
Those procedures referring to particular revisions of the above standards shall be viewed as
complying with the current standards and not limited to the revisions that are referenced. Work
instructions provide step-by-step details on performing specific tasks, and include criteria for
determining compliance.
Customer specific requirements, which are not addressed by the current quality system, are
considered on an individual project/contract/order basis, and communicated throughout FCI as
required.
The Quality Management system at FCI has been developed to accommodate three levels of
quality management. The level of quality management to be applied to a specific
project/contract/order is set at Contract Review and is suitably identified thereafter. The three
levels are defined as follows:
Industrial “Controlled” Projects: These projects include (but are not limited to) Nuclear Safety.
These types of projects/contracts/orders adhere to all the requirements of ISO 9001as defined in
Section One of this manual, the Quality System Requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix B, and the
basic Quality System Requirements of ANSI NQA-1as defined in Section Three of this manual.
These projects/contracts/orders and all associated data and documentation have the unique
identification of “Controlled”.
Aerospace Projects: These projects include all Aerospace identified projects. These types of
projects/contracts/orders adhere to all the requirements of ISO 9001, AS9100, and the Quality
System Requirements of 14CFR Part 21.137 (a)-(n) as defined in Section Two of this manual.
