Abstract: The DD Form 1718 is sent to the manufacturer every two years by the Qualifying Activity when the applicable specification does not contain complete re-qualification testing, and requests the manufacturer to complete the form. The manufacturers products will be removed from the Qualified Products List (QPL) or the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) if the certification is not returned after due notice. The Qualifying Activity updates the QPL/QML information once those forms are returned and re-validates that the supplier can still remain on an active listing. The form requests such information as: •Is the listed product still manufactured at the plant shown on the QPL/QML? •Is the plant still under the same management? •Are the products still be manufactured under the same conditions as originally qualified, with the same process, materials, construction, design, and manufacturer's part number or designation? •Does the product meet the requirements and tests of the latest issue of the specification?
