How to complete Dimensional Results

Dimensional results demonstrate that the submitted product was measured against the current design record.

Complete the fields

Characteristic identifier
Use the balloon or callout number that links directly to the drawing or specification.
Requirement
Transcribe the nominal, tolerance, limit, datum reference, thread requirement, geometric tolerance, or note exactly from the current record.
Actual result
Record the measured result with units and the required precision. Do not round a value in a way that changes acceptance.
Measurement method or equipment
Identify the gauge, fixture, CMM program, test method, or other method used where required by the customer or report format.
Sample identification and disposition
Identify the sample, cavity or serial number when relevant, result status, and authorized deviation reference for any nonconforming result.

Step-by-step completion sequence

  1. Use the current approved drawing and create a traceable callout list if required.
  2. Prepare the measurement plan and verify the measurement system is suitable.
  3. Measure the required sample under the specified conditions.
  4. Record actual values and units against each characteristic; do not report only “pass.”
  5. Review every out-of-specification result before submission and obtain required customer disposition.
PPAP control point: The customer’s current submission request, customer-specific requirements, and approved forms control. This guide explains a practical way to prepare the record; it does not authorize a substitute format or acceptance criterion.
