U40 BOEING ESCAPEMENT NOTIFICATION FOR NONCONFORMANCE (Section 1) AND NONCOMPLIANCE (Section 2)

SECTION 1 NONCONFORMANCE: NOTIFICATION OF ESCAPEMENT (NOE) PROCESS Note: **Do not use the NOE process to notify Boeing engineering of escapements related to design errors (i.e., certification, product design, and/or business agreement noncompliance). Notify Boeing of escapements related to design errors using the Design Escapement Notification (DEN) process as applicable in Section 2 of this note. A notification to Boeing of a known or suspect nonconformance is not appropriate for a component if the nonconformance is not associated to a product characteristic.**

For Product(s) which have been delivered to or on behalf of Boeing and Seller knows or suspects that such Product(s) are or may be nonconforming, Seller shall, within 3 days after the day of discovery of a potential escape, the notification from sub-tier supplier, and/or the entry of the issue into the quality process, notify Boeing in writing as set forth herein to allow Boeing to conduct a preliminary safety risk assessment. If the condition is a possible safety of flight issue, submit all available information immediately. This applies to new or initial instances of an escape or potential escape, escapes or potential escapes that were previously identified and isolated by Boeing but Seller identifies additional units or a nonconformance cannot be verified for the same nonconformance condition. This notification requirement is applicable to all Sellers, including Sellers with D-13709-4 Appendix C Escaped Product Disposition authority. Seller shall notify Boeing through the Boeing supplier information system or the Preliminary Investigation Notification (Form X39312) may be used with Boeing approval or in case of system outage or unavailability.
Such notification shall include the information set forth below along with any information that may be identified on the Boeing supplier information system or in Form X39312 referenced above, Minimum:
a. Affected process(es) or Product(s) part number(s) and name(s);
b. Description of the nonconforming condition and the affected engineering requirement (i.e., what it is and what it should be) If known:
c. Quantities, shipping dates, purchase orders and destinations of delivered shipments;
d. Suspect/affected serial number(s) or date codes, lot numbers, or other part identifiers and airplane line units when applicable.

Once a nonconformance has been verified as escaped from the supplier quality management system, all information listed in a, b, c, and d above shall be submitted to Boeing through the Boeing supplier information system within 10 business days from the day of escape confirmation unless otherwise agreed upon by Boeing on a case by case basis. For Sellers with D-13709-4 Appendix C Escaped Product Disposition authority, instead of submittal to Boeing, Seller must provide notification to the Seller's delegated material review engineers for technical review within 10 business days from the day of escape confirmation unless otherwise agreed upon by Boeing on a case by case basis.

If the nonconformance condition has been previously identified by Boeing using a nonconformance record and a Boeing corrective action notification included Immediate Correction (IC) or Immediate Action (IA) and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) has been received, Seller shall notify the Boeing investigator identified on the notification that additional parts are affected (same part number(s)/same condition).

Flow down
The requirements set forth above shall be flowed down by Seller to Seller's supply chain, with the modification that all supply chain notification shall pass through Seller (and not made directly from the supply chain to Boeing). Seller shall notify Boeing of all sub-tier parts which have left the Seller's production system with escaped nonconformances in accordance with the respective communication process set forth herein.

A DEN can only be used for a noncompliance or suspect noncompliance to a design (i.e., certification, product design, and/or business agreement noncompliance) or customer requirement as defined in documented information which includes but not limited to, digital product definition data, drawings, parts lists, materials, process specifications, and verification documents.

For Product(s) delivered which have been suspected or determined to contain engineering errors, (Product does not comply with certification, Product design, and/or business agreement related airplane design requirements), Seller shall provide written notification to Boeing within 3 days. The Boeing notification shall include:

a. Affected process(es) or Product(s) part number(s) and name(s);
