How to complete Authorized Engineering Change Documents

This record shows the customer-authorized engineering changes incorporated in the PPAP submission. It is applicable when the submission request includes a change.

Complete the fields

Change number
Record the engineering change number, deviation number, or other unique customer identifier.
Affected part and revision
State the part number, prior revision, new revision, and the exact drawing or specification affected.
Change description
Describe what changed in factual terms: dimension, material, feature, software, specification, or process requirement. Do not use a vague label such as “updated.”
Authorization and effective date
Identify the customer or design authority approval, approval date, and effective date or serial/lot break where provided.

Step-by-step completion sequence

  1. Collect the authorized change notice from the customer or design authority.
  2. Verify that the submitted parts, drawings, FMEAs, control plan, validation results, and PSW reflect the approved condition.
  3. Complete the change log with traceable identifiers and revisions.
  4. Identify every validation result affected by the change and include the required evidence.
  5. Do not label a change authorized until the required approval exists.
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.
