4. Application, implementation timing and responsibilities
4.1 Application
This standard shall be applied for all the newly designed products and the design-modified products.
However, following items shall be applied;
(1) If a product is delivered to the customer separated as several components, which will be finally assembled by the customer, a DFMEA shall be implemented
- for each separate component, and
- for the combined product
(Example) A product is separated into two components (A and B).
The two components are delivered separately to the customer.
The customer will assemble A and B to make the final product C
Then a DFMEA shall be implemented for
(a) Component A, and
(b)Component B (unless part B is a minor component: cap, cover, etc.), and
(c)Final assembly C.
