Forward traceability required information to identify already delivered suspect material. It requires traceability information visible on the label of packing and/or part itself Backward traceability required information to identify suspect source material at supplier.

10 It requires as min. part number, lot number or production date. Supplier is responsible to provide traceability data upon GG request. Response time Product realisation 2 working days < 2 years from production date 5 working days > 2 years from production date Archiving Required archiving period for all traceability related information is 15 years from production date. 13. Warranty Responsibility / Product Liability If our customers discover field scrap parts and the cause of the fault lies clearly with a purchased part/purchased material, the supplier is obliged to handle these as described in the article 8 of these GQR.
