QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES:
STAGE INSPECTION:
It will be essential that You shall have to keep GSECL informed about their
Production Schedule 15 days in advance (Particularly Pouring, Heat Treatment) so that GSECL can arrange Stage Inspection. You
need not
discontinue your Production schedule because of Absence of GSECLs
Representative unless it is to be instructed or agreed upon.
FIRST SAMPLE STAGE INSPECTION:
It will be essential for you to get All Stages inspected for the First Sample of
Inserts & Grinding Roller by GSECLs Representative. Therefore, You shall
arrange for Necessary Advance Intimations to GSECL for this Purpose.
SAMPLE APPROVAL:
In Addition to the Stage Inspections, it will be essential for you to submit First
Sample of centrifugally cast inserted grinding roller in Sintercast / improved
metallurgy to GSECL Site and obtain Sample Approval for Commencement
of Bulk Production.
IDENTIFICATION MARK:
It will be essential that all centrifugally cast inserted grinding roller in
Sintercast / improved metallurgy have Clear-Cut Identification for
Traceability to their Heat, Heat Treatment Batch, your Name. Painting /
punching is allowed for Identification (it should be such that it remains a
Present at the time of Supply) Marks,
IDENTIFICATION STATEMENT:
You shall have to submit a Statement, along with Supply of Rollers regarding
the list of Centrifugally Cast
