Notification to Snap-on Sample Clauses

Notification to Snap-on. Supplier shall notify Snap-on of any design or process changes as indicated in the table below. Where fit, form, function, or a significant dimensional feature is affected approval is required prior to the change. PPAP approval or an approved deviation is required prior to shipment of the modified components or product from the modified process. Where uncertainty exists the supplier should consult with Snap-on personnel regarding PPAP requirements and document results of the inquiry. Please review the table below for a description of some of the changes that require PPAP approval. Requirement Clarification or Examples 1. Use of other construction or material than what was used in the previously approved part or product. For example, construction other than what is documented on a deviation (permit) or included as a note on the design record and not covered by an engineering change. 2. Production from new or modified tools such as dies, molds, patterns, etc, including additional or replacement tooling. (Notification is not necessary for replacement of perishable tools from a previously approved process of the same grade and type such as drills, taps, and inserts.) This requirement only applies to tools, which due to their unique form or function can be expected to influence the integrity of the final product. It is not meant to describe standard tools (new or repaired of same make and type), such as standard measuring devices, drivers (manual or power), etc. 3. Production following upgrade or rearrangement of existing tooling or equipment. Upgrade means the reconstruction and/or modification of a tool or machine or to increase the capacity, performance, or change its existing function. This is not meant to be confused with normal maintenance, repair or replacement of parts, etc., for which no change in performance is to be expected and post repair verification methods have been established. Rearrangement is defined as activity that changes the sequence of product/process flow from that documented in the process flow diagram (including the addition of a new process). Minor adjustments of production equipment may be required to meet safety requirements such as, installation of protective covers, elimination of potential ESD risks, etc. These changes can be made without customer approval unless the process flow is changed as a result of this adjustment. 4. Production from tooling and equipment transferred to a different plant site or from an additional plant s...
