CQI-30 – Special Process – Rubber Processing System Assessment: the method – #2530
Context
The CQI-30 (Rubber Process System Assessment) is a standard developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) for assessing and improving the control of rubber manufacturing processes, particularly in the automotive industry. These processes include mixing, extrusion, moulding and vulcanization of rubber components.Â
In accordance with IATF 16949 and specific customer requirements, the CQI-30 applies to all automotive sector suppliers that manufacture rubber parts or use rubber processing technologies in their production.Â
Â
The CQI-30 assessment aims to minimize the risk of failure in rubber processing operations, ensure the consistency, durability and performance of rubber components, and guarantee compliance with automotive manufacturers’ quality, safety and performance requirements.Â
This standard constitutes a strategy for the continuous improvement of special processes. It provides a structured framework that enables organizations to carry out self-assessments across several key areas, including:Â
- control of rubber processing operationsÂ
- equipment capability and maintenanceÂ
- management of critical parameters (such as temperature, pressure, mixing conditions and curing time)Â
- qualification and competence of personnelÂ
- effectiveness of monitoring and testing systemsÂ
In order to implement improvement measures aimed at ensuring the quality, reliability and performance of rubber products used in your applications, you need to ensure that you are familiar with the requirements and best practices of CQI-30, as well as the self-assessment guidelines.Â
