Every organization within the automotive supply chain is obliged to ensure the safety and conformity of its products. To this end, in the respective countries and regions current legal statutes on product integrity must be observed, also the justifiable safety expectations of the general public must be fulfilled. With products conspicuously “unsafe“ in the market, or whose conformity to legal requirements is questionable, those responsible are obliged to initiate the necessary actions. In order to be aware of and to understand the many demands addressed to a product safety representative, comprehensive information and qualification is necessary. This is the aim of this two-day qualification: it is specifically geared to the requirements in the participants’ daily work practice. The central topics of product integrity are explored, and the competence as product safety representative is developed in the scope of these five modules.   ObjectivesThe focus is on the communication of expert knowledge that enables the participants to handle their everyday work more professionally and in a more targeted fashion as prospective or existing product safety representatives. The responsibilities in the whole supply chain from development through manufacture and use up to the end of intended use are dealt with. After an introduction to the topic the organization of product integrity, product integrity in the product life cycle, guidance for product nonconformities and examples for tools and methods are discussed. Concept and MethodsDuring this training, technical lectures and exercises alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work practice with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer. Prerequisites for participationIn order to attend this training, a technical and / or business education is necessary as well as experience in automotive quality management, especially in complaints and recourse management. Furthermore, the participants should be qualified and experienced in the evaluation of technical product and process risks (e. g., FMEA facilitator, VDA 6.3 process auditor, designer / developer) and be knowledgeable about the use of the organization’s products, the state of the art as well as the requirements from relevant laws and customer requirements. Target audienceAutomotive executives and personnel who are to be deployed as product safety representatives or who already hold that position. Qualification CertificateAfter passing the test, the participants will receive a certificate of qualification. Duration2 days Supplementary MaterialVDA Volume Product Integrity and Conformity

 From September 1st, 2020, the new framework regulation (EU) 2018/858 is mandatory for the approval of vehicle types and their equipment. Of course, all training courses from Mark Haacke Training & Consulting are based on the new requirements. The compliance with all legal requirements during the development, production and use of vehicles is an important factor for companies to minimize costs and risks. It is important to find a reasonable balance between the costs that arise to provide all required proof and the risks that can arise from a deviation from these requirements. With the appropriate knowledge you understand how you as a supplier can meet the requirements of OEM and authorities and how you can fulfill the approval relevant requirements for your product during the development. As an employee of a vehicle manufacturer, the acquired knowledge will help you to understand your obligations, from product development to recycling, and to be able to derive the right measures to minimize the risk of withdrawal/refusal of approval, import stops in certain markets or extensive recall actions. This ensures that beginners as well as the "old hands" gain a high level of practical knowledge and a comprehensive understanding from the training, which is recommended not only for employees from homologation/certification, quality assurance, production and development. The training can also benefit sales or marketing staff in that the knowledge of the approval relevant requirements in different regions of the world helps to evaluate the follow-up costs.
