CQI-29 Brazing System Assessment validates the effectiveness of Brazing processes throughout the entire supply chain. The BSA 1st edition is a comprehensive audit covering all variations of brazing intended to provide a common approach to a brazing management system for automotive production and service part organizations. The BSA 1st edition specifies process requirements for an organization or its suppliers performing applicable aluminum and stainless-steel brazing. Processes covered are CAB, Vacuum, Flame, and Induction brazing, and contain provisions for part print, control plan, braze quality inspection & reports, parameter documentation, maintenance records, sustainability, process monitoring, fixturing and tooling, and thermal management.
This standard supplements IATF 16949 under “customer-specific requirements” and applies to all global automotive suppliers who have entered into a contractual purchasing, delivery, or quality agreement throughout the supply chain.
