  • Privacy Shield


    Answer:

    On July the 5th, the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution, asking the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, to suspend the Privacy Shield framework. As the resolution is not binding the EU Commission did not enforce it, thus Privacy Shield still stands.

  • Identificación del contexto de la organización

    https://advisera.com/9001academy/pt-br/kit-de-documentacao-da-iso-9001/nowledgebase/como-identificar-el-contexto-de-la-organizacion-en-iso-90012015/

    Respuesta:

    Desde mi experiencia siempre recomiendo llevar a cabo todos los análisis de la forma más sencilla, en este caso la identificación del contexto de la organización. Lo más simple sería organizar una reunión con la gente relevante de la organización, por ejemplo, los directores de los departamentos, y llevar a cabo un análisis DOFA (debilidades, oportunidades, fortalezas, amenazas) para poder determinar las cuestiones internas y externas de la organización. Este mismo acta de reunión puede ser válido para demostrar que cumplimos con el requisito correspondiente.

    Estos materiales pueden serle de utilidad a la hora de determinar el contexto de la organización:

  • Implementing IATF 16949 over ISO 9001

    IATF requirements assume that customer-authorized waiver must be documented in order to retain the evidence. We could see that per example at requirements 8.2.3.1.1 and 8.3.6.1.

    Based on available facts at your question if you get documented waiver approval from the customer for Cpk monitoring above 1.33 that no issues with the IATF1694 clause 9.1.1.1.

    Even that, you should to take in consideration that if during the monitoring process capability we have special causes that must be identified, analyze root causes and implement corrective actions to avoid reoccurrence., and according IATF16949 requirement 9.1.3.1 trends in operational performance shall be compared with progress toward objectives and lead to action to support prioritization of actions for improving customer satisfaction

  • Definitions of the audit findings

    Rules for achieving and maintaining IATF recognition --- Fifth edition for IATF 16949 is a document provided by IATF that contains definitions for the terms you mentioned. Here are the definitions:

    Major Non-Conformity

    · The absence of or total breakdown of a system to meet and IATF 16949 requirement
    · A number of minor non-conformities against one requirement can represent a total breakdown of the system and thus be considered a major non-conformity
    · Any non-conformity that would result in the probable shipment of non-conforming products. A condition that may result in the failure or materially reduce the usability of the products or services for their intended purpose
    · A non-compliance that judgment and experience indicate is likely to result in the failure of the quality management or to materially red uce its ability to ensure controlled processes and products

    Minor Non-Conformity

    · A failure to comply with IATF 16949 that, based on judgment and experience, is not likely to result in the failure of the quality management system or reduce its ability to ensure controlled processes or products. It may be one of the following:
    o A failure in some part of the client’s quality management system relative to IATF 16949
    o A single observed lapse in following on item of a company’s quality management system

    Opportunity for Improvement

    · A failure in some part of the client’s quality management system relative to IATF 16949
    · A single observed lapse in following one item of a company’s quality management system
  • GAP analysis and exclusions from QMS


    Answer:

    Usually GAP analysis is conducted at the beginning of the implementation in order to know which requirements are already covered by the organization and which ones the organization still needs to comply with. That being said, you don´t need to assess another GAP analysis but you will see how your organization is doing after performing the Internal Audit.

    Here you can find a free ISO 9001 GAP analysi s tool: https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/

    Regarding the exclusion of design and development from your scope, if your organization does not do any design work, but strictly work from designs given to you by a customer, then these requirements can rightly be determined to be not applicable to your organization.

    To learn more about the exclusion of design and development from the scope, you can see this article - What clauses can be excluded in ISO 9001:2015: https://advisera.com/9001academy/blog/2015/07/07/what-clauses-can-be-excluded-in-iso-90012015/2015/

  • GDPR between two telecommunication companies


    Answer:

    It depends on the roles of the two telecommunication companies. If one of the telecom companies (company B) processes personal data on behalf of the other telecom company (company A) this means that company A is a data controller and company B is a data processor and in this case, there needs to be a legally binding document in place between the two companies. You can find a Controller to Processor Data Processing Agreement in our EU GDPR Documentation Toolkit (https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/documentation/supplier-data-processing-agreement/).

    You also need to have a legally binding document in place if the two companies are joint controllers as well.
    Although not strictly required by the GDPR, it is a best practice to have GDPR Agreements also between two independent controllers.
  • Implementing ISO 9001


    Answer:
    Look into the company at two different levels. First, map the flow of work from customer requirements and needs until customer served “What do you do?” (development of services, commercial activities, purchasing, providing the service, maintenance, training, management). Second, determine: the internal and external context, interested parties, quality policy and objectives, and risks and opportunities.

    Characterize the processes and define and implement plans to meet objectives and address risks and opportunities.

  • Personal data


    Answer:

    The EU GDPR defines personal data as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological , genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;” (Article 4 – Definitions (https://advisera.com/gdpr/definitions/).

    So, a phone number is identifiable information which is assimilated to personal data.

  • RBT and ISO 14001


    Answer:
    When you look into the external and internal issues you can identify risks and opportunities related with the intended outcomes of EMS. For example:
    * technological trends may help you reduce environmental impacts;
    * legislation trends may make more difficult to comply with legal obligations

    “2. Since the standard doesn't require one to document the analysis above, how does one show evidence that the analysis is done, and it is sufficient and appropriate?”

    Answer:
    Without records, the auditor will have to interview the management team and see if the company had done the risk-based thinking (RBT) and simply write in the report that they demonstrated the RBT during interview with the management.

    The following material will provide you information about applying RBT to an environmental management system:
