DEC STD 017-2

This document, DEC STD 017-2, published by Digital Equipment Corporation on June 17, 1991, is identical to the first edition of ISO 9002:1987, "Quality systems - Model for quality assurance in production and installation."

Its primary purpose is to specify quality system requirements for suppliers to demonstrate their capability in controlling processes that determine product acceptability during production and installation. The standard aims to prevent and detect nonconformities in these stages and ensure their recurrence is prevented.

Key areas covered by the standard include:

• Management responsibility (policy, organization, review)
• Establishing and maintaining a documented quality system
• Contract review and document control
• Purchasing and assessment of sub-contractors
• Product identification, traceability, and process control
• Inspection, measuring, and testing (receiving, in-process, final, and equipment calibration)
• Control of nonconforming product and corrective actions
• Handling, storage, packaging, and delivery
• Maintenance of quality records, internal quality audits, and training
• Application of statistical techniques

The standard is mandatory for specific Digital Equipment Corporation sites as listed in a related corporate document (A-GL-ELMF732-00-0).
