A.2 Checklist for the assessment of a factory production control (FPC)
system.
NOTE This checklist has been developed for CE marking, but may also be used for the purpose of voluntary
certification systems.
A.2.1 General
A factory production control system can only be applicable to one production site. In case of several
production lines at the same site, all of them shall be checked.
The results of audits performed by a quality management system certification body (e.g. for ISO
9001:2000 certification) can be taken into account, although such certificate is not compulsory.
The FPC shall cover specified product ranges produced on the same production site. Each product
covered by the FPC shall be clearly identified. To add a new product to the covered range, the
producer shall submit the results of the initial type testing of the new product for an extension of the
FPC system. This shall be taken into account at the next follow-up inspection. In case of a new
production process the manufacturer shall apply for a new inspection visit.
Follow-up inspections shall take place not less than once a year.
All the questions in this checklist shall be checked at the first inspection visit and at each follow-up
inspection.
A.2.2 Checklist
The items marked with "E" are considered to be of essential importance, i.e. immediate corrective
actions are needed if the requirement is not fulfilled.
The assessment can lead to A-, B- or C-type remarks:
A: an immediate corrective action is needed;
B: corrective action shall be taken within 3 months;
C: corrective action shall be taken before the next inspection visit
If a B-type remark is not corrected in due time, it becomes an "A" and if a C-type remark is not
corrected in due time, it becomes a "B".
