2 Revision Record The current and applicable issue of this document may be confirmed by viewing the Welding Metallurgy Inc. web site: at Revision Reason Date NC Initial release 04/28/13 A Added Telephonics Requirements 10/15/14 B Added Spacex Requirements 6/9/17 NOTE: Changes to current revision are indicated by change lines in left border DOCUMENT OVERVIEW The Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements (SQAR) document details Welding Metallurgy, Inc s quality requirements for their suppliers. This document forms a part of the Welding Metallurgy purchase order, and contains both general information and specific quality requirements for Welding Metallurgy suppliers. Suppliers shall comply with the revision of the SQAR in effect on the date that their purchase order was issued. Requirements in the engineering specifications, purchase order and/or documents referenced in SQAR, shall take precedence over the requirements in SQAR. The SQAR is divided into two major sections as described below: Section 1 - This section includes quality requirements applicable to all deliverable products and/or services procured by Welding Metallurgy. Also, included in this section are some commodity specific requirements. Section 2 - This section includes requirements imposed on Welding Metallurgy by their customers that must be flowed down to Welding Metallurgy suppliers. Questions regarding this document should be directed to your buyer. Page 2 of 11

The requirements in Section 1 apply to all procurements. The requirements in Section 2 apply when the Welding Metallurgy purchase order references one of the Section 2 listed customers. Page 3 of 11

4 1.0 GENERAL AND COMMODITY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this section apply to all procurements. Welding Metallurgy and their customers expect suppliers to deliver material that is 100% compliant with all the Purchase Order (PO) requirements. If the supplier has difficulty with quality or technical issues encountered during the manufacturing process, or contractual requirements of the PO, contact your Welding Metallurgy buyer for assistance to resolve the issue. 1.1 Quality System Requirements Welding Metallurgy suppliers shall have a Quality Management System (QMS) that complies with the requirements of AS9100C (Quality Management Systems Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations), AS9120A (Quality Management Systems Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Distributers), ISO (Quality Management Systems Requirements), or AS9003: (Inspection and Test Quality System). Suppliers that have second or third party certification shall provide a copy of their QMS certification to their Welding Metallurgy buyer. Welding Metallurgy shall be notified whenever there is a change to a previously submitted certification and a copy of revised/new certification provided. A Welding Metallurgy supplier survey is required for companies that are not 2 nd or 3 rd party certified and/or registered. The supplier shall immediately notify Welding Metallurgy in writing, of any change to the quality control system that may affect the inspection, conformity or air worthiness of the Product. After the issue of initial Welding Metallurgy quality system approval, each change to the quality control system is subject to review by Welding Metallurgy. 1.2 Right of Access Acceptance of a Welding Metallurgy purchase order grants the right of access by Welding Metallurgy Inc., their customer(s) and regulatory authorities to all facilities involved in the order and all applicable quality records. 1.3 Quality Records Unless otherwise stated in the purchase order, quality records, documentation and certifications shall be maintained on file for a minimum of seven (7) years after completion and payment of each purchase order.

5 1.4 Inspection - Manufactured Products Parts shipped to Welding Metallurgy must be 100% inspected and accepted by the supplier. First article inspection (FAI) shall be performed and reported per the requirements of AS9102 (Aerospace First Article Inspection Requirement), as per the revision level applicable at time of purchase order placement for first time produced products (e.g. machined or formed parts, castings, forgings, etc.). Additional partial or re-accomplished FAIs shall be performed in accordance with the criteria listed in 5.3 of AS9102. A copy of the FAI report shall be submitted to Welding Metallurgy as part of the shipping documentation. 1.5 Control of Nonconforming Material Nonconforming material must be identified and documented, segregated or bonded, pending disposition when found, to prevent its unintended release or use, and evaluated to determine the actions necessary to contain its effect on other processes or products. Suppliers shall also immediately inform Welding Metallurgy via a disclosure letter, when a detected nonconformity may affect product already delivered. The disclosure shall include part numbers, Purchase Order Numbers and Item Numbers, serial numbers, manufacturing dates, quantities, etc. Supplier s authority to disposition nonconforming material is limited to rework, return to supplier for rework or replacement, or scrap. Welding Metallurgy shall be contacted for any other dispositions. 1.6 Corrective and Preventive Action The supplier shall respond to all requests for corrective action on or before the requested response due date. The response shall be submitted on the Welding Metallurgy SCAR form or the suppliers own form (or letterhead) addressing all the SCAR elements and attached to the original form. Suppliers that receive a Notification of Rejection shall take those actions necessary to correct the problem and prevent recurrence. Suppliers are required to acknowledge receipt of the notification. 1.7 Foreign Object Debris/Damage (FOD) All Welding Metallurgy suppliers shall maintain good housekeeping and where applicable a Foreign Object Debris/Damage (FOD) prevention program to preclude introduction of foreign objects into any deliverable item. Suppliers shall employ appropriate housekeeping practices to assure timely removal of residue/debris generated during manufacturing operations or tasks. See Page 5 of 11
