Product Safety Requirement

Thank you for providing this service, it is very kind of you. My question concerns the Product Safety requirement. We are a Tier 1 OEM manufacturer for Brakes, Steering, Suspension. Every single one of these parts are considered Safety Product. There isn't a specific characteristic of product safety, highlighting potential issues for one or more product safety failure would be impossible as our entire operation is producing parts start to finish that are critical to product safety. In other words, we are complying with the requirement with the exception of a) and i) according to our IATF auditor's NCR we were issued. I'm trying to create the documented process for this clause. However, I'm at a loss on how to do this because every component of the part and the part itself is Safety Product.

 The auditor stated requirement a), that is related to documented processes and i) which is related to the training of personnel.  

You should have documented the process for product-safety for example in the turtle diagram. 

Also, you can have process maps in a documented procedure, please consider our template procedure for product safety in our IATF 16494 Toolkit: https://advisera.com/16949academy/iatf-16949-2016-documentation-toolkit/

Please consider reading our article: “Ensuring product safety according to IATF 16949”: https://advisera.com/16949academy/blog/2017/09/20/ensuring-product-safety-according-to-iatf-16949/
