If there are several findings for the assessment of a single question, the indi-
vidual assessment which is associated with the highest risk is decisive for the
assessment of the respective question.
The auditor may require immediate actions depending on the risk associated
with the findings.
If a question is not evaluated (n. e.), the reason for this must be stated.

of the questions for each audited process element, sub-element or
process step must be evaluated. In order to ensure comparability, the entire
list of questions from the VDA 6.3 process element should be covered in full.
If corrective actions from previous audits are not implemented, this can also
be regarded as a case of non-conformity, e.g. in the “cause analysis”, “imple-
mentation of measures”, “meeting customer requirements” questions.
Questions associated with a special product and process risk (*-ques-
tion)
In the process elements, questions associated with special risks product and
process risks are marked with an asterisk (*-question). These special risks
are already taken into account in the downgrading rules (see section 6.3).
The evaluation is carried out in the same manner as for the remaining ques-
tions. Consequently, *-questions are not evaluated more harshly than other
questions.
6.2 Detailed evaluation and downgrading rules
Evaluation of the process elements, the sub-elements of P6 and the individ-
ual process steps.
Process element
The compliance level E
Pn
of a process element (P2, P3, …, P7) is calculated
as:
E
Pn
[%] =
Total points awarded for the relevant questions
Total possible points for the relevant questions

Exception: If there is more than one evaluation for a question
In process elements P3, P4 (separate evaluation of product and process de-
velopment) and P6 (individual evaluation of each process step), there may be
several evaluations for a single question. In this case, the arithmetic mean of
all results for the question must be calculated first. In calculations following
this step, the average is rounded to two decimal places.
These averages replace the “points awarded” when calculating the level of
compliance of a process element.
For each question, the total number “possible points” is 10 – regardless of
the number of results per question.
Sub-elements of P6
In the process element P6, the following sub-elements are evaluated:
E
U1
Process input
E
U2
Work carried out
E
U3
Personnel resources
E
U4
Material resources
E
U5
Efficiency
E
U6
Process output
The evaluation of the sub-elements is carried out in the same manner as for
the process elements and the exceptional case: more than one evaluation for
a question.
E
Un
[%] =
Total points awarded for the relevant questions for the sub-
element of P6
Total possible points for the relevant questions
for this sub-element of P6
Individual process steps
The questions from P6 are used for the evaluation of the individual process
steps. All questions from P6 can be answered for each process step. The
compliance level E
n
of each process step can be calculated as follows:
E
n
[%] =
Total points awarded for the P6 questions for this process step
Total possible points for the P6 questions for this process step

For process elements P3 and P4, product development (E
P3
product) and
process development (E
P3
process) can be evaluated separately. To calculate
the overall result for all process elements (e.g. P2 to P7), the mean values of
the respective questions in section P3 and/or P4 are used. The downgrading
rules are applied to the entire process element P3 and/or P4 (joint evaluation
of product and process development).
