Prerequisites

Many events in the operating environment may affect the tightening process and shall require a validation of results. In compliance with applicable standards and/or regulations, we hereby require to check the installed torque after any event that can influence the tightening result. Examples of such events include but are not limited to:

  • initial installation of the tooling system

  • change of part batch, bolt, screw batch, tool, software, configuration or environment

  • change of air- or electrical connections

  • change in line ergonomics, process, quality procedures or practices

  • changing of operator

  • any other change that influences the result of the tightening process

The check should:

  • ensure that the joint conditions have not changed due to events of influence

  • be done after initial installation, maintenance or repair of the equipment

  • occur at least once per shift or at another suitable frequency
