Product Liability and Quality Assurance
Product Liability and Quality Assurance Management System
The Teijin Group Regulations for Group PL and Quality Assurance apply to all Teijin Group products and services and are the basis for our product liability and quality assurance activities. Based on these regulations, the Group Product Liability and Quality Assurance Subcommittee decide the basic policies and associated targets for all product liability and quality assurance issues of the Teijin Group, and reflect them in product liability and quality assurance activities conducted by business units. We have also created an original unit-based management system for product liability and quality assurance that is applied to the products of each business unit. This management system aims to enhance customer satisfaction, prevent product defects, and ensure appropriate responses in the event that defects occur. The system not only covers the scope of the ISO 9001 standards for quality management systems but also incorporates perspectives of product liability and quality assurance, such as response to customers and product safety.
Implementation of Product Liability and Quality Assurance Audits
Product liability and quality assurance activities are the responsibility of each designated unit. The Quality Assurance and Security Export Control Department, which oversees Groupwide quality, monitors these activities and verifies that product liability and quality assurance systems are being properly implemented. In FY2024, we conducted regular audits of seven business units and six directly managed companies to confirm operational status. Based on feedback from the audit results, we continue to improve our product liability and quality assurance framework and processes.
