Auditors thought the material covered was of value. Auditors were asked to submit any suggestions for the 2014 Auditor Conference to K. Purnell. 5.2 Auditor Conference 2014 Topics SEAL TG agreed to keep the same topics for the 2014 Auditor Conference. Additional SEAL auditors are needed, it was requested that if any attendees knew of an individual with Seal Manufacturing background that would be interested in becoming an auditor, they should contact [email protected]. 6.0 FEEDBACK FROM AC7128 FABRIC REINFORCED SEALS TEST AUDITS – OPEN Several Subscribers and Suppliers performed informational self-audits using the draft AC7128 audit checklist. Comments from those self-audits were reviewed and resolved during this meeting. 7.0 FEEDBACK FROM AMS CE MEETING – OPEN The AMS P committee is developing ARP 3051 Molded Elastomer Components Manufacturing Processing Requirements. There are weekly one hour conference calls for developing this document. SEAL Task Group members are encouraged to participate in the development of this document. ACTION ITEM: Meeting attendees that would like to be added to the e-mail string for weekly ARP 3051 conference call and WebEx meetings are to e-mail their request to [email protected] “. (Due Date: 17-Dec-2013) 8.0 FABRIC REINFORCED SEALS ARP – OPEN 8.1 Update from Sub-Team on Progress. SEAL Task Group reviewed Draft ARP 3051 titled Molded Elastomer Components Manufacturing Processing Requirements. The fabric reinforced seals manufacturing process is also being incorporated into this ARP as it is necessary to comply with the NMC checklist vision. The SEAL Task Group planned on participating in the scheduled Wednesday 1:00 pm weekly conference call and WebEx but because of the additional time needed to resolve AC7128 test audit comments, participation in the conference call and WebEx was canceled. It is difficult for the European Task Group members to participate in the weekly conference call and WebEx meeting because they are scheduled from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to ask S. Divens if the weekly conference calls and WebEx meetings could begin earlier in the day to facilitate more overseas participation. (Due Date: 17-Nov-13) 9.0 AC7122P MATERIAL LAB AUDIT TIME REQUIREMENTS – OPEN 9.1 Audit Time Needed for Job Audits Non Metallic Materials Testing (NMMT) Task Group and SEALS Task Group signed an MOU for use of the AC7122P /1, /2 & /4 checklists and the MOU is posted in eAuditNet. The elastomer specific questions in AC7122P /1, /2 and /4 were reviewed and a total of three different methods of testing are required to be audited. It is NOT necessary to review ALL testing methods in one audit as it is the intent that they will be audited on a rolling review basis. Auditor Time Required to Complete AC7122P /1, /2 and /4 Questions was discussed. During the Auditor Conference the auditors thought an additional day would be required to perform the lab audit. One Subscriber began a test audit using AC7122P /1, /2 checklists but was unable to complete the test audit. Attendees believed the lab audit should take a half day to complete with some pre-audit coordination between the auditor and supplier. Subscribers are to perform a test audit using the AC7122P /1, /2 ELASTOMER SEALS OCTOBER 2013 CONFIRMED

Purnell identified an existing Nadcap auditor that appears to a good SEAL auditor candidate. The candidate has performed over 600 Nadcap audits. ACTION ITEM: K. Purnell to schedule an auditor interview conference call with the SEAL TG. (Due Date: 1-Dec-2013) 12.0 STAFF ENGINEER DELEGATION – CLOSED At the end of the June 01 – September 30, 2013 delegation tracking period the SEAL Task Group had not performed the required minimum 10% oversight. Staff Engineer requested by e-mail that the SEAL reviewers perform oversight of audit 148163 and e-mail their results back to the Staff Engineer. Audit was reviewed after closure by K. DeFranco, B.

C and AC7128 into AC7115C with Slash Sheets. It was originally believed that most companies that manufacture fabric reinforced seals did not also manufacture o-rings and molded shapes but this assumption was incorrect. In order to reduce redundant audit questions for manufacturers that will be audited to AC7128 and AC7115 it was proposed to combine the two checklists. SEAL Task Group discussed creating an AC7115 checklist with slash sheets but was not convinced this was the best format. Subscribers wanted more visibility of which jobs were being used for process audits. Composites AC7118 checklist was reviewed because it contains an index and a Job Audit Matrix. It was decided the AC7115 and AC7128 audit questions would be input into the AC7118 checklist template. Chairperson M. Koucouthakis appointed a sub-team consisting of M. Koucouthakis, T. Campbell, B. Clothier, R. McDaniel, J. Dickinson, M. Jeavons, D. Syves, S. Kronabetter and B. McSorley to combine the two checklists into the AC7118 template. The SEAL Task Group Sub-Team met from 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, 22-Oct2013 to 3:00 p.m. Thursday, 24-Oct-2013 and combined the two checklists. ACTION ITEM: SEAL Task Group Sub-Team to present the combined Draft AC7115 / AC7128 Checklist at the February 2014 Nadcap meeting. (Due Date: 1- Feb-2014) 16.0 SEAL TG INITIATIVES – OPEN Review and update SEAL Task Group Priorities SEAL Task Group created the following list of activities and rated them as High (H), Medium (M) or Low (L) priority and if they are (A) Active, (N) Not Active or (C) Closed. Where multiple activities have the same priority designation, numbers can be used to further clarify the activities level of importance. This list was created so the SEAL TG maintains focus on its high priority tasks. • (HA1) AS Standard for Seal Manufacturing • (HA1) Create Outline for AS Standard to Address Fabric Reinforced Seals • (HA1) Combination of AC7115 and AC7128 to AC7118 format • (HA1) Identify new auditors • (HA1) Fabric Reinforced Seals Checklist • (HA2) AMS2750/1 Sub-Team Press / Curing oven control • (HA2) Captive Laboratory Audit Questions – Use of AC7122 Checklist (Test Audit) • (MA) Add Contamination and Questions from process specs when released to AC7115B & AC7128 • (MA) Formal SEAL specific Auditor Training Program AC7115, AC7128 & AC7122 • (MA) Add Fabric to AC7122/1 • (LA) Mixing Facilities – Take Question of Audit Mandate to SAE AMS CE Elastomers Committee • (LA) Quality system applicable to mixing facility (QPG)? • (LA) Seal Fabricators – SAE AMS CE and RMA Define the Terms Fabricator, Compounder, Lot, Batch • (LN) Value Added Distributors (Purchase Order Flow down) • (LN) Distributor Labeling of Elastomeric Parts ELASTOMER SEALS OCTOBER 2013 CONFIRMED
