DAVCO requires that tooling paid for or provided by us be clearly identified as to ownership.

Material (components, parts, etc.) provided by DAVCO for inclusion in an assembly must be maintained in such a manner as to prevent deterioration and damage.

In all cases, tooling or material that becomes unusable must be reported to DAVCO as soon as possible.

Please refer to ISO-9001 section 7.5.4 and ISO/TS16949 section 7.5.4.1 for further information.

For new parts and changes to existing parts, DAVCO requires the submission of initial samples through the Production Product Approval Process (PPAP).

DAVCO requests a Level 4 submission with the following documents required:

• Complete dimensional and functional lay-out
• Numbered/ballooned drawing. (NOTE: The drawing and dimensional/functional lay-out MUST be performed using DAVCO Technology’s engineering drawings.)
• Material Certification(s)
• Process Control Plan (AIAG format)
• Part Submission Warrant

Refer to the appendix of our DAVCO Supplier Quality Manual for guidance in successfully submitting a PPAP package to DAVCO Technology.

Suppliers may use their own internal forms for the above or you may download forms from this website.

DAVCO’s Quality Department will advise you if additional documentation is required.

NOTE: The DAVCO Quality Department will not accept any submission for which the product does not fully comply with all specifications. If measurements/characteristics/features are found that do not meet DAVCO’s requirements you must:

• Correct the items and submit, or
• Contact the DAVCO Engineering Department to request changes to our engineering drawings or specifications.
