A FPC system conforming with the following requirements of the relevant part(s) or EN ISO 9001:2000, and made specific to therequirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy the above requirements.The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the manufactured productsconform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections andtests and/or assessments and the use of the results to e.g. control raw and other incoming materials or components,equipment, the production process and the product.The manufacturer is responsible for organising the effective implementation of the factory production control system.Tasks and responsibilities in the production control organisation should be documented and this documentation should bekept up to-date. In each factory the manufacturer may delegate the action to a person having the necessary authority to:a) identify procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages;b) identify and record any instance of non-conformity;(c) identify procedures to correct instances of nonconformity.The manufacturer should draw up and keep up-to-date documents defining the factory production control which heapplies. The manufacturer's documentation and procedures should be appropriate to the product and manufacturing
