It is not proper since any mil spec that has a QPL associated with it requires that the product be manufactured by a manufacturer who is listed on the QPL listing.  Some folks have advertised that they meet the mil spec but if there is a QPL then one cannot claim they meet the mil spec unless they are listerd on the QPL since the specs themselves require compliance with the QPL listing in order to meet the mil spec.

  Subject: [TN] QPL question


  Company A, who is "not" on the QPL receives an order from a customer for a product to be certified to current revision of MIL-PRF-55110.

    The customer is informed that company A cannot accept the po nor can they fabricate this because they are 'not' on the QPL. The customer does not care, just want board fabricated with the proper documentation.

    On the direction of the owner, Company A (not on QPL) fabricates the product anyway, then they send it to company B who "is" on the QPL to perform and generate the Group A, In-Process, and Microsection activity, the product ships from company B, but is billed by company A.

    Is this legal? proper?
