B. An organisation chart showing the independent authority of the Level 3 Inspector
from production
C. The company's marketing strategy for securing new clients
D. A detailed list of all equipment suppliers

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CSA W47.1-25 Clause 5.1 requires the QA Manual to include an organisation
chart that demonstrates the Level 3 Inspector's authority is independent of the
production department . This independence is critical for objective quality control.
Options A, C, and D are not required by the standard.

procedure qualification records (PQRs)?

A. 1 year
B. 3 years
C. 5 years

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: W47.1 requires a 5-year retention period for PQRs and WPSs, including

C. 18 months
D. 24 months

B. Code → QA Manual → ITP → PQR → WPS
C. PQR → WPS → ITP → QA Manual → Code
D. WPS → ITP → PQR → Code → QA Manual
