April 2017 • The PCB Magazine 85 based on the specific programmatic need, the flow will follow Level 1 for classified accredita- tion or Level 2 for unclassified accreditation. In the Level 1 flow, the application is transferred to the Defense Security Service for further ac- tion. The Level 2 flow begins with a site audit to ensure the operation of the facility complies with the accreditation requirements. The ap- plicant will also provide objective evidence for review by the accrediting authority to demon- strate that policies, systems, and training are in place and actively utilized. The trust accreditation is site-specific, since the accreditation requirements entail physical and information system security elements, and many of the certifications packaged to create the accreditation are site specific. At the com- pletion of the audit, the accrediting authority will provide a debriefing of observations and audit findings to the applicant. The accrediting authority will issue a for- mal letter within thirty days after completion of the audit, notifying the applicant of either approval, conditional approval with required corrective actions, or disapproval with reasons identified. If the applicant has conditional ap- proval, the corrective actions shall be submitted to the accrediting authority within thirty days after receipt of formal notification of failure, or the application will be canceled. The accredit- ing authority will issue an official letter of ac- creditation within thirty days after completion of the audit, and/or verification of satisfactory closure of all corrective actions. Accreditation is valid for three years from the date of approval unless revoked with cause. The addition, modification, or reduction of PrCB technology capabilities will be docu- mented by an update of the accreditation status through submission of the appropriate objec- tive evidence. The accrediting authority will no- tify the PrCB design organization of acceptance or rejection of the additional capabilities. Accreditation may be revoked with cause by the accrediting authority for any of the follow- ing reasons: 1. Loss of ITAR registration or failure to keep registration current 2. Loss or failure to maintain AS-9100 or equivalent certification 3. Failure to perform and pass the annual PrCB design organization's internal audit, within the 90-day period prior to EXECUTIVE AGENT FOR PCB AND ELECTRONIC INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY PRCB TRUST ACCREDITATION Figure 2: PrCB organization (design, manufacture, assembly) trust accreditation process flow.
