2. The QA Manual<br />
A general QA manual for all divisions of the company. <br />
<br />
A separate QA Manual (KS-Plan) is prepared for larger projects. These plans are based on the<br />
general QA-Manual, and are adjusted according to the plant's size and the demands of each<br />
client. For all plants, the minimum requirement is that they comply with demands issued by<br />
“Kontrollrådet” (The Norwegian Controlling Body for Concrete Products).<br />
<br />
Special care has been taken to ensure that all manuals have the same structure and that all<br />
joint or similar tasks have identical procedures and checklists. <br />
<br />
The manuals are prepared in order to comply with the demands specified in NS-EN ISO-9001,<br />
but their design is adapted to our established structure. <br />
The QA manuals are marked “Perm 2, Kvalitetssikrings-manual” and include the following<br />
chapters:<br />
- Introductory Remarks<br />
- Organisation<br />
- Planning<br />
- Procedures and Checklists<br />
- Machines and Equipment<br />
- Laboratory and Supervisory Equipment<br />
- Lifting Equipment<br />
- Purchase and Receipt<br />
- Training<br />
- Production<br />
- Control<br />
- Maintenance / Servicing<br />
- Sales<br />
- Documentation and Archiving<br />
- Non-conformities and Corrective Measures<br />
- Audits<br />
- Materials<br />
- Enclosures<br />
The chapters in the QA manual provide a general description of how the systems work in each chapter<br />
and in the company as a whole.<br />
More detailed descriptions as to where, when, and by whom each operation is to be executed is<br />
described in procedures, which are compiled in a separate compendium called Compilation of<br />
Procedures. In the chapter called Introductory Remarks, there is a description of how our QA systems<br />
comply with the requirements of NS-EN ISO-9001.<br />
