AUDIT CRITERIA FOR Metallic Materials Manufacturing
For FORGINGS
*TO BE USED ON AUDITS STARTING ON OR AFTER 13-OCT-2019*
1. SCOPE
AC7140 is intended for use to survey all facilities seeking accreditation

by Nadcap for forging processes.
The purpose of the Audit Criteria is to provide a means to verify and

document that systems are in place to control the process, and that the
process procedures are being followed.
2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Prior to the Audit
2.1.1 Did the Auditee upload a copy of their completed self-audit to eAuditNet YES NO
at least 30 days prior to the audit- utilizing the version of the checklist(s)
applicable to this audit?
Guidance: Nadcap recommends the self-audit be performed 90- 120
days prior to the scheduled audit. In the event of checklist revisions,
Nadcap publishes the checklist(s) and sends out a notification 90 days
prior to the checklist(s) becoming effective. In this case, an audit
against the changes is acceptable if it supplements the existing self-
audit performed prior to the release of the revised checklist.
2.1.2 For each question in the checklist, has the auditee identified where the YES NO
means of compliance or evidence* of compliance may be found. (*=
procedure, checklist, physical location of evidence, etc.)
2.1.3 Does the self-audit include job audits as required by the TG? YES NO
Guidance: Number of job audits will be the same as for the audit, see
MMM Task Group Audit Handbook for guidance.
2.2 All nonconformances should be corrected prior to the actual audit.

Nonconformances of a technical nature found during the actual audit
may, at the Task Group's discretion, require a follow-up audit at the
auditee's expense.
PRI operating procedures provide that "This report is published by PRI to advance the state of technical, engineering, and quality
sciences. The use of this report is entirely voluntary, and its applicability and suitability for any particular use, including any patent
infringement arising there from, is the sole responsibility of the user."

2.2.1 The Auditee shall send the following to the auditor 30 days prior to the
scheduled audit (in English, unless otherwise agreed between auditor
and auditee):
List of forging processes, forging units and heating equipment

(within scope of audit)

List of auditee’s procedures (index/table of contents only)
List of specifications and approvals
Organization chart
2.3 During the Audit
2.3.1 The auditee should provide for an in-briefing for the auditor and arrange
for a brief plant tour prior to the start of the audit. Key members of the
auditee’s staff should attend the in-briefing so the audit purpose,
methods and assessment processes, can be discussed.
2.3.2 The auditor shall verify the scope of accreditation and modify it in
eAuditNet as required in agreement with the Auditee.
2.3.3 Working space for the auditor with desks or tables, chairs, telephones,
etc. and reproduction services are to be provided as required. This is
not a full-time assignment.
2.3.4 An out-briefing will be conducted at the end of each audit day to

discuss the status of the audit and any non-conformances found that
day.
2.3.5 A final out-briefing will be conducted at the completion of the audit.

Each nonconformance report (NCR) will be reviewed and the auditee
will be given the opportunity to discuss proposed corrective action or to
provide any additional information. Drafts of each NCR will be provided
to the auditee. NOTE: The Metallic Materials Manufacturing (MMM)
Task Group may, upon review, change the auditor's determination of
finding or observation. Responses must be provided for all NCRs.
2.3.6 Responses shall be submitted according to Nadcap procedures.
2.4 Review of the Audit Report
2.4.1 The auditor will advise the auditee when their audit report will be
submitted and when corrective action will be due. Responsibility for
meeting this date rests with the auditee. Failure to comply with
specified dates will result in significant delays in accreditation.
2.4.2 PRI staff or the Task Group may, after review of the audit report,
require additional information or may elect to issue additional findings.
NOTE: Final authority over the audit report, acceptability of corrective
actions, and accreditation recommendation rests with the Task Group.
