A violation of any export provision may jeopardize those exports. Furthermore, violations may subject AMIS to substantial fines and penalties. Employees violating the policies set forth in the AMIS Export Control Corporate Policy and the export laws of the United States may be subject to dismissal. Hence, any questions concerning these policies or any export regulations should be directed to the export control manager. This documented program provides for the optimal retention of records vital to the operation of AMIS and for their destruction when they are no longer required.
Quality records are determined per area and require a minimum retention of five years.
This includes, but is not limited to, obligations concerning employees, customers, vendors and state and federal regulatory agencies. When agreed contractually, customer-specific quality records shall be made available for evaluation by the customer or their representative. These records are also maintained to demonstrate conformance to specified requirements and the effective operation of the Quality System. Specific customer retention schedules that exceed AMI Semiconductor s standard will be documented in the customer s specification. These records are to be legible and stored in a suitable environment that ensures the prevention of damage, deterioration or loss.
