Safe Launch Concept Clause Samples
The Safe Launch Concept clause establishes procedures and requirements to ensure that the initial launch or deployment of a product, service, or system is conducted under controlled and secure conditions. Typically, this clause outlines specific safety checks, risk assessments, and contingency plans that must be completed before the launch proceeds, such as verifying system integrity or confirming regulatory compliance. Its core practical function is to minimize the risk of failures or hazards during the launch phase, thereby protecting stakeholders and ensuring a smooth transition to operational status.
Safe Launch Concept. Supplier shall apply a Safe Launch (SLC) concept for the component as defined during the APQP process and agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The purpose of the SLC is to document Supplier's control of its processes during start-up and ramp-up phase, it shall also enable the Supplier to quickly identify and quickly correct any quality issues that may arise at Supplier's location. SLC includes special verifications performed by Supplier for a defined timeframe or quantity as determined together with Stoneridge in the APQP process. SLC requires a Pre-Launch Control Plan, which is a significant enhancement to Supplier's production control plan and which in turn will raise the confidence level to ensure that all components shipped initially will meet ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s expectations. The Pre-launch control plan will also serve to validate the production control plan. The Pre-Launch Control Plan shall take into consideration all known critical conditions of the product as determined with Stoneridge as well as potential areas of concerns in Supplier’s process as also identified during the introduction and PPAP. Supplier shall generate the Pre-Launch Control Plan prior to start of series production and shall make it available to Stoneridge for approval prior to start of series production. Stoneridge shall be entitled to require changes. Suppliers are required to submit SLC data to Stoneridge. This should include variable measurement data where applicable. Suppliers may exit the safe launch process if they have achieved SLC targets unless otherwise specified by Stoneridge. Supplier shall develop action plans to address missed failure modes or capability improvement needs. Stoneridge may require suppliers to perform production on stock for product and process verification purpose. Missing achievement of the SLC targets within the mutual defined period of time or quantities may lead to a withdrawal of the release.
Safe Launch Concept. The Supplier shall apply a Safe Launch Concept (SLC) according to the product and process maturity. The scale of the SLC shall be defined during the APQP process and agreed by Continental. The purpose of the SLC is to document the Supplier's control of its processes during start-up and ramp-up phase, it shall also enable the Supplier to quickly identify and quickly correct any quality issues that may arise at the Supplier's location. SLC includes special verifications performed by the Supplier for a defined timeframe or quantity as determined together with Continental in the APQP process. SLC requires a Pre-Launch Control Plan, which is a significant enhancement to the Supplier's production control plan and which in turn will raise the confidence level to ensure that all components shipped initially will meet Continental's expectations. The Pre-launch control plan will also serve to validate the production control plan. The Pre-Launch Control Plan shall take into consideration all known critical conditions of the product as determined with Continental as well as potential areas of concerns in the Supplier’s process as also identified during the introduction and PPAP. The Supplier shall generate the Pre-Launch Control Plan prior to start of series production and shall make it available to Continental for approval prior to start of series production. Continental shall be entitled to request changes. Suppliers are required to submit inspection data to Continental's plant. This should include variable measurement data where applicable. Suppliers may exit the safe launch process if they have achieved SLC targets unless otherwise specified by Continental. Suppliers shall develop action plans to address missed failure modes or capability improvement needs. Continental may require suppliers to perform production on stock for product and process verification purpose. Missing achievement of the SLC targets within the mutual defined period of time or quantities may lead to a withdrawal of the release.
