[LCSO or their authorized Representative only, shall be considered for grant of Qualification
‘Approval
 
523 Validity of Approval - ‘The approval accorded is valid for a period of three
‘years. For Maintenance of Qualification on Approval (MQA), the procedure for Qualification
‘Approval has to be repeated. Such approval shall be ffom the date of expiry of previous
approval, provided samples are submited well in advance before expiry of QA. The validity
‘of MQA will also be three years
524 Qualification Approval (QA) is accorded in respect of componests manufactured
at the same premises, by the same process, using the same raw material as the sample
submitted fr tests. The manufacture is required to obtain written consent from LCSO before
‘making any changes ot modification in design material, processes of finish of any approved
‘component. The manufacturer shall also supply adequate evidence to confirm that the
modifications do not reduce the quality of the component below the specification
requirements. The drawings forthe modified item or the changes necessry inthe earlier
‘drawing shall be provided. The concerned LCSO Pane! will examine the uestion whether

34 CEDURE FOR THE GRANT OF QUALIFICATION APPROVAL (QA)
54.1 Manufacturer desirous of Qualification Approval of electronic components
‘manufactured by them, shall approach LCSO in writing, enclosing, copy of detailed
catalogue / data sheets covering the components manufactured by them,
542 LCSO shall scrutinize the eletrical / dimensional / mechanical specifications in
the catalogue / datasheets, fr conformance withthe specifications detailed in the data sheots
‘of corresponding JSS and to confirm the equivalent JSS style Refererces from above
documents forwarded by the manufacturer, for compliance of clause 5.22. After ensuring
such compliance, the manufacturer shall submit to LCSO Application Form as given at

(Revision No.2
 
(@) The manufacturer does not respond toa tender enquiry / sappy onder.
(©) Failure of the manufacturer to notify LCSO of any changes inthe design,
processes and place of manuftcture (see clause 5.25).
6 POST QUALIFICATION API
 
6.1 A pproduet for which Qualification Approval has been accorded stould have a high
demand so as to increase its quantity requirement for economic production and maximum
user confidence for reliability in its application. The post approval activites are aimed to
meet the above objectives during the eureney of the approval certificate. Though these are
intertelate, forthe sake of convenience, they are beings listed under separate headings.
 
62 ACTION BY LCso
62.1 Publish he List of Approved Companents- JSG 50102, every five yeas, and
issue amendments periodically.
622 Give wide publicity for approved component.
623 Discuss in the LCSO Technical Panel, the failures reported on approved
‘components and resuls on thet investigation in respect of the factors mentioned at a para 54
tw consider
(2) Withdrawal of the approvals accorded
(&) Necessity of amending the specification
624 Provisional Extension - In cases where the validity period of Qualification
‘Approval has expired, but the tests for maintenance of Qualiestion Approval are not
‘completed, then the validity period shall be provisionally extended by the secretary of the
LLCSO panel. In such eases, care shall be exercised to ascertain thatthe samples under test
have reasonable chances of satisfactory performance. However, the extension accorded shall
rot exceed six months under any circumstances. Information regarding such provisional
‘extension, shall be disseminated by LCSO to the Chairman and members of the LCSO
‘Technical Panel. Furher, provisional extension shall hve no effect on the date of issue of
MQA when granted after successfil test results and approval by the pant, en it will still be
effective from the date of expiry of previous approval
63 ACTION BY MANUFACTURER
63.1 Inform LCSO, the following details in respect of each order they received for
spproved components
(@) Address of indenter,
(©) Details of Indent number, date, nomenclature, quantity ete
9ssgm-yosas ‘
me Oven
—
(©) Actual date(s) if supply / acceptance by indenter
 
NOTE information wil enable LCSO to assess the user requirements of|
‘an approve component, obtain the user opinion on the maintenance of quality and
‘co ordinate the effects for failure analysis. It may be appreciated that non -
submission of the required information by component manufecturer would lead
TLCSO to presume thatthe ite for which Qualification Approval was acorded, is
not requited by any consumer and, therefore there is no need to conser further
approval
632 Take prompt action o investigate and intimate the LCSO the ressons for any
rejection of his components, reported either bythe indentor or by LCSO. Such investigation
should identify the defess in one or more ofthe following
(The quality ofraw materials
(©) Thevarables in the production process
(©) Calibration of test instruments used
(The wrong implementation ofthe laid down inspection procedure
633 In component specifications, if certain special parameters and thir tests have not
been adequately covered, bring such cates tothe natice of LCSO with relevant deals. This
will enable LCSO to examine the feasibility of incorporating in the specification such
parameter and the required methods of testing.
634 Inform LCSO, whenever any changes are effected in the plae of production or
