Definitions and marking of safety-critical, important and indicative 586437-117
characteristics

1 Range of application / preface


The determination of safety-critical, important and indicative characteristics is an important precondition
for safeguarding the quality of our products. The present standard contains the definition of the current
characteristics as well as their identification in drawings and other documents.

2 Normative definition „special characteristics“


According to ISO/TS 16949 special characteristics are product characteristics or production process
parameters that may impact of the safety, the compliance with official regulations, fit, function,
performance or the further processing of the product.
At Brose these special characteristics are named as safety-critical and important characteristics.

Special characteristics have to be determined and included into the control plan. They have to be
incorporated into drawings, specifications, FMEA, control plans or other documents necessary for the
control of the production. They may be defined by customer and / or by Brose. The continuity of special
characteristics has to be ensured in all documents (see also point 10 in this standard).
If the customer requires the use of customer-specific symbols for special characteristics then these
symbols have to be used. In all other cases the Brose symbols have to be used as described in this
standard. Basically the requirements of the ISO/TS 16949 have to be kept as well as the customer
requirements.

3 Handling of special characteristics


Special characteristics basically:
• have to be observed in a feasibility study
• have to be observed in FMEA and to be incorporated
• have to be considered by the planning of tools, assembly facilities and testing facilities
• have to be marked according this standard
• have to be tested with measurement systems whose qualification have to be proved in a
measurement ability analysis (where technically practicable)

In case of the identification of a larger number of special characteristics the following thoughts have to be
considered:
• For individual characteristics that belong to a characteristic chain, it should be checked if a
closure characteristic is possible (e.g. leak-tightness, unbalance, rotational frequency,
torque,…)
• The individual characteristics can be replaced by the closure characteristic if the evidence
exists that interpretation status, production status and the status during the use and service
is equal to the target state. Closure characteristics have to be secured series-accompanying.
• Special characteristics defined by customer may be secured as well by a closure
characteristic if there exists a contract with the customer.

characteristics

For special characteristics defined by customer it has to be defined how every characteristic has to be
handled, respectively which test or safeguarding method has to be defined, e.g. robust production
processes, capability tests, SPC, Poka Yoke, 100% testing.
For characteristics where the statistical method of capability testing is not applicable the process
capability has to be verified in different way.
The marking of special characteristics in drawings and specifications does not absolve from a performance
as requested and also from an objective testing of all defined characteristics.

Customer interfaces which have been defined by customer as well as customer interfaces which have
been defined by Brose always have to be marked as special characteristics. Those are e.g. fixing points in
a car, the admission for further production steps at the customer and so on. A not consistent safeguarding
of this customer interfaces may always cause an incident at the customer.

4 Safety-critical characteristics
4.1 Definition and fixing
Safety-critical characteristics are those product characteristics or process parameters that may have
influence on compliance with legal regulations or on the safety of the product or on safety-relevant
functions. Customer-specific requirements have to be considered.

Generally, safety-critical parts are components of a vehicle affecting active or passive vehicle safety and
subject to the specific regulations and legal provisions of the authorities (e.g. brakes and steering).
At Brose e. g. the electrical parking brake and the steering are currently affected as parts of the active
vehicle safety. Parts of the passive vehicle safety are e.g. seat adjusters, power window electronics,
closure systems (where specified) or the belt pre-load motor (where specified).

A safety-critical characteristic must be defined because of:


• legal requirements,
• requirements of the respective regulatory authorities,
• customer-specific requirements,
• Brose-internal computed, tested and empirical values
• FMEA in consideration of the evaluation of the severity (S ≥ 9)

characteristics

4.2 Marking and illustration


Product characteristics and process parameters which have an impact on the safety of a product or a
process respectively or the compliance with legal regulations have to be marked with a “D” and a
sequential number in the “D” directly next to the characteristic.
Customer interfaces completely have to be identified an marked with a „C“ (customer) directly before the
sequential number.
Documents with a reference to this product characteristics and process parameters also have to be marked
with a “D“. The identification of safety-critical characteristics in drawings has to be done at the point
where the characteristics will be produced, modified or tested.
e.g. e.g. customer interface

In case of multiple use of parts it is possible for higher-level assemblies / ZSB that parts will be assembled
whose special characteristics are not relevant in this certain application (e.g. spindle from table drawing
with D characteristic – use of the spindle in seat-cushion depth displacement without D characteristic).
In this case the special characteristic will be crossed out in the drawing (before parts list) and there will be
a note: “For this application no special characteristic“.
A crossed out special characteristic will not be count in the characteristic table of the title block (see also
point 9).

characteristics

4.3 Handling of safety-critical characteristics


Safety-critical characteristics must be identified. A verification regarding a 100% compliance with the
tolerances and limits has to be ensured by:
• verification of the design safety (calculations, tests etc.)
• verification of the process reliability (robust production processes, capability analysis, Poka
Yoke, 100% tests, in-shop testing certificate etc.)

Laws must be met; furthermore:


• threat to life or physical condition has to be avoided
• the fulfilment of duty of care has to be ensured
• demands regarding product liability have to be averted.

Safety-critical characteristics are going along with an increased risk regarding product liability. Therefore
for these characteristics it has to be evidenced that the fulfilment of duty of care has been ensured.
Because of this for safety-critical characteristics documents or data have to be defined that can provide
this evidence. Customer-specific and legal requirements have to be considered.
These documents and recordings have to be archived according to VDA Volume 1 “Documentation and
archiving“. The minimum period of archiving amounts 15 years after the expiration of the useful life.
The Organizational Instruction OA009 “Filing and Archiving of Documents” has to be considered.

Due to the product liability risk and the risk of recalls a system of traceability has to be set up for safety-
critical characteristics. With this system of traceability the number of parts affected can be controlled in a
better way. The traceability can be ensured e.g. by D-books or the SAP-system.
The following Work Instruction in the Process System (BBC) has to be considered:
R2_020_GR_51_03 “Identification of safety critical and important characteristics and their traceability”
The decision about the respective traceability level already will be done during the FMEA creation and will
be documented by the responsible quality planner of the business division in the control plan).

In the SAP-system the marking of parts / assemblies with safety-critical characteristics basically is done in
the material master (adherence of a “D“ to the material short text) and will be continued in the parts lists
and parts usage lists.

5 Important characteristics
5.1 Definition and fixing
Important characteristics are these product characteristics or process parameters where a non-compliance
means a risk for the functionality and further processing; this may have effect on customer’s satisfaction
and our image. Customer-specific requirements have to be considered.

An important characteristic has to be defined from:


• customer-specific requirements
• technical interfaces to the overall system
• characteristics which have been critical at the customer for similar products
• experience with similar designs
• FMEA in consideration of the evaluation of the severity (S=8)

5.2 Marking and illustration


Important characteristics are marked with a "rhomboid" and a sequential number in the rhomboid directly
next to the characteristic. Additional information next to the rhomboid is permitted e.g. SPC. In systems
where the rhomboid does not exist, the characteristic is abbreviated with F ("Function Characteristic").
Customer interfaces completely have to be identified an marked with a „C“ (customer) directly before the
sequential number.

e.g. e.g. customer interface

5.3 Handling of important characteristics


Important characteristics must be identified. A verification regarding a 100% compliance with the
tolerances and limits has to be ensured by:
• verification of the design safety (calculations, tests etc.)
• verification of the process reliability (robust production processes, capability analysis, Poka
Yoke, 100% tests, in-shop testing certificate etc.)

The characteristics important for product quality have to be defined and agreed together with the
customer.

6 Indicative characteristics
6.1 Definition and fixing
Indicative characteristics have a reference character and support character; they are no special
characteristics according to the standards of the automotive industry, e.g. ISO/TS 16949 and to this Brose
standard.

They are required within the scope of quality planning to communicate, to address and to document
individual, reproducible arrangements, e.g. concerning tool design, measurement technique, production
process and products.

6.2 Marking and illustration


Indicative characteristics are marked with a "triangle" and a sequential number in the triangle directly next
to the characteristic, e.g.

In systems where the triangle does not exist, the characteristic is abbreviated with I ("Indicating
Characteristic").

6.3 Handling of indicative characteristics


From indicative characteristics no general defined consequences can be deduced, i.e. if required they can
be included into FMEA, control plans, Supplier Quality Readiness Systems (SQR / APQP) and other
documents. A special testing methodology is not specified.

Indicative characteristics can be defined also for automatic processes or for specific requirements in the
assembly.

7 Process capability
For special characteristics the process capabilities has to be determined. Customer-specific agreements
have to be considered.
Measuring devices which are used in the scope of process capability examination and/or in the current
monitoring have to be qualified (where technical practicable) by a measurement system capability test
(variable, attributive).
The measuring and testing methods have to be defined clearly and have to be documented in the Control
Plan (PLP).
If process capability will not be feasible for special characteristics actions have to be defined. These
actions for example can be:
• 100% tests, die holder at the assembling line (which secure a 100% attributive-test
for customer interfaces / fixing positions etc.; calibration is necessary)
• design changes where necessary tolerance changes
• production-oriented safeguarding actions for e.g. Poka Yoke
• actions in the processes of the suppliers

Note for tool-related dimensions:


In the case of tool-related dimensions the verification can be done by provisional process capability tests
for initial sampling and in the case of tool changes.
If the existence of characteristics has to be checked, e.g. for hole patterns, the release can be done with
attributive tests (e.g. with a plugging gauge).
During the running series additionally series-accompanying random checks as e.g. first part release / last
part release or worker self-control will be done.

8 Specifications for suppliers


Suppliers have to meet all Brose requirements in respect of definition, documentation, control and
archiving of safety-critical as well as important characteristics. Special requirements of the customers from
Brose with relation to whose suppliers will be communicated in APQP. This don’t disengage suppliers from
their responsibility to gather information about customer-specific requirements.
Suppliers have to provide the evidence that this customer-specific requirements will be kept.
As a general principle, all product and process characteristics have to be considered and controlled.

10 Continuity of special characteristics


The special characteristics have to be considered in all relevant documents (where presentable) and so
they have to be continuous.

The continuity can be achieved by marking the special characteristics in assembly-, component- and/or
single part drawings and the takeover of the special characteristics with all symbols in all further
specifications and documents of evidence.

Specifications and documents of evidence are e.g.:


• external documents of evidence
- customer specifications, customer drawings, agreements,…
• internal documents of evidence
- FMEA, drawings, control plans, test instructions
- job descriptions, labeling of containers
- maintenance plans, packing instructions, etc.
• internal specifications
- initial sample testing reports, initial part releases
- evidence according to control plan
- QS- Stat.- data
- test reports, etc.

In well-founded cases it is allowed that a special characteristic defined in FMEA will not be transferred in
further documents. The reason has to be documented in the FMEA.
