PPAP elements
Standard 18‑element package| # | Element | Required | Status | Completion Date | Owner / Note |

Interim — the customer has granted temporary permission to ship a limited quantity, or for a set period, while an open issue is worked off (e.g. an out‑of‑tolerance dimension under a sorting or containment plan). It is not full approval — an action plan and expiry date apply, and a complete PPAP must still be submitted and approved before the part is fully released.

Submission level guide
Which level fits the part — confirm with your customer| Level | What you submit | Typical parts & situations |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Warrant (PSW) only — kept on record by the customer. | Low‑risk, proven commodities: standard catalog & off‑the‑shelf items, fasteners, bulk or raw material, and minor documentation‑only changes where the customer already trusts the process. |
| 2 | PSW with product samples and limited supporting data. | Low‑to‑moderate complexity, non‑critical components and modifications to an already‑proven part — samples wanted, but a full data package is not. |
| 3 | PSW with product samples and complete supporting data.Default · most common | Most new production parts: new tooling or process, safety / regulatory characteristics, significant design or process changes, and parts from a new supplier. Use this unless told otherwise. |
| 4 | PSW plus customer‑defined requirements. | Whatever the customer specifies — a tailored subset or superset of elements set by a specific customer agreement or program requirement. |
| 5 | PSW, samples and complete data reviewed on‑site at the supplier. | Highest scrutiny: safety‑critical or complex parts, new or unproven suppliers, or a history of quality issues — the customer reviews the full package at your location. |
