Mattel GQMP-2119I

GLOBAL QUALITYSurface Coating: All layers of materials such as paint or similar materials, that dry to a solidfilm when applied to a substrate and that can be scraped off with a sharp blade or washed offwith a solvent such as acetone or ethanol, without removing the substrate (base) material.NOTE: Labels are not considered surface coatings because they do not meet the definition of a surface coating in 16 CFR 1303. Labels may contain surface coatings—those coatings shouldbe tested according to QSOP 0006-3600, Heavy Elements §2.2.3 Surface Coatings. The basematerial of the label should be tested according to the appropriate section for substrates (e.g.22.2.2 AA or ICP may be used instead of XRF device and test results evaluation must beconducted per § 3.3.1*Report No.: CM Substrate XRF001, “Verification of Total Lead in Substrates by XRF” (2008), MAPS Conformance Laboratory Report; Report No.: CM Substrate XRF002, “Verification of Total Cadmium in Substrates by XRF” (2010), MAPS Conformance Laboratory Report2.3 Subcontractors2.3.1 Verify compliance per GQMP 0006-2140, Subcontractors - Vendors.2.3.1.1 Subcontracting on PVC rotocasting or PVC injection molding is allowed priorfactory approval by Mattel.2.3.2 If a certified supplier becomes a Subcontractor at the same time, then the source maybe treated as …Supplier‟ if the subcontracting process is audited and certified by Mattel(Reference GQMP 0006-2115, Supplier Certification Process).2.4 Any test failure must be reported per GQMP 0006-2108, Failure Track.2.5 Mattel production must be clearly segregated.Example of segregation: different room or separated by floor markings or signs.2.6 Test records must be retained for 5 years from the date of creation.2.7 Vendors must purchase materials and components from a certified supplier if an adequatecertified category exists unless an approval has been granted per GQMP 0006-2002, Productand Process Deviations.On-hand inventory and forthcoming deliveries from purchase orders released prior notificationcan be used (Deviation is not required). Supporting documentation (e.g., purchase orders,receiving records) must be available upon request.3 TEST METHODS3.1 Test Environment (N/A)3.2 Equipment (N/A)3.3 General Test Requirements3.3.1 Testing using AA or ICP must be performed per QSOP 0006-3600, Heavy Elements orQSOP 0006-3604, Heavy Elements - Children‟s Jewelry or QSOP 0006-3606, HeavyElements - Children‟s We aring Apparel or QSOP 0006-3607, Heavy Elements -Children‟s Cosmetics or RMS 0006-2902, Zinc or RMS 0006-2903, Colorants.3.3.2 Testing using XRF must be performed per GLOP 0006-7402, XRF Operating Procedure.3.3.3 Materials and Components Identification (Reference Appendix 1)Each storage bin (i.e., bin in which materials are stored or transported; a.k.a., pallet,bundle) shall be identified as either “Accepted”, “Hold - ICP Pending” or “Rejected”. Onlyone label (i.e., accepted, hold - ICP pending or rejected) must be visible at any time.“Hold - ICP Pending” labe l is to be used when a XRF test fails and AA/ICP is used toconfirm results.3.4 ProcedureHE SubstratesFlowChart3.4.1 Incoming Inspection at Vendor3.4.1.1 Purchased materials or components3.4.1.1.1 Certified SupplierIf a Mattel certified supplier exists, Vendors must purchase materialsor components from them. NOTE: Add …For Mattel Product‟ whenplacing a purchase order (P.O.).Testing is to be conducted by the Supplier and its frequencydetermined by the Mattel Audit Team during the supplier certificationprocess.3.4.1.1.2 Non-Certified Supplier∙Every delivery of materials/components listed in Appendix 2received from a non-certified supplier must be tested at incominginspection.If a delivery contains parts that are identified (e.g., batch code,date code), test each identified part separately.∙For any other material/component not listed in Appendix 2,Vendors are required to develop and implement a documentedquality system to ensure compliance with Mattel Heavy Elementrequirements.3.4.1.2 Components sourced from a Mattel Owned and Operated Plant or anotherVendor factory3.4.1.2.1 Components sourced from a Mattel Owned and Operated Plantmust be accompanied by a test report prior to use following a testingfrequency at least every 6 months.3.4.1.2.2 Components sourced from another Vendor must be accompanied bya test report prior to use following a testing frequency per § 3.4.23.4.1.3 Components sourced from a Vendor-Approved Subcontractor3.4.1.3.1 Test every material type sourced from a Subcontractor.Exemption: Materials/Components that were not undergone achemical transformation/treatment (e.g., sewing process, assembly).3.4.1.3.1.1 Test must be conducted using XRF (Sample Size = 1)only for Lead (Pb) (Applicable to plastic, fabric, paperand wood) according to the criteria per § 2.2. For anyother substrate, use AA or ICP and test only for Lead(Pb).Components must be tested at incoming inspection according to thefollowing frequency:Subcontractors of Electroplating, Insert Molding, Flocking or FabricLamination∙Test every delivery.Others∙State 1. Test 1st delivery. Multiple deliveries, same part number,occurring during the same day are considered as “one delivery”.∙State 2. If the test passes, test once per month.Starting 1/1/2011 (all Subcontractors) →∙State 1. Test 3 consecutive deliveries. Multiple deliveries, samepart number, occurring during the same day are considered as“one delivery”.∙State 2. If the test passes, test once per week for 5 consecutivetimes.∙State 3. If the test passes, test every 2 weeks or any time if45 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (NONE)The labels must be a minimum of 11 cm X 6 cm (4.4 in X 2.4 in). Exemptions to label size are permitted due to the overall size and shape of the material‟s package.Non Certified Suppliers。
