Proposed-Accepted

...

A Non-quality is:

 A non-compliance with a requirement specified in contractual documents

 A failure to meet a generally accepted implicit, legitimate and reasonable expectation of the Carmaker, related to the intended purpose of the Supply, and taking into account the prevailing situation and the environment.

It may therefore reflect the disturbance induced by a Supply to one or more other Supplies.

N.B.: where applicable, the generally accepted implicit expectation will be specified by the Parties. The Parties will agree in good faith the analysis required in order to identify the cause(s) and to determine the share of responsibility. In case of interpretation difficulties, the Parties will refer to the Supply acceptance dossier.
