	The fabrication experiences of superconducting cavities for FLASH have shown that eddy-current scanning of the Nb-sheets foreseen for half-cells reduces the cavity failures. New eddy current devices have been developed and build together with the industry for the production of 800 pieces 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavities for European XFEL. More than 15.000 Nb-sheets provided by three companies have been tested by eddy-current scanning. The sheets that demonstrated local deviations of the signal have been subsequently non-destructively examined by 3d-microscope and X-Ray element analysis. The surface defects (dents, holes, scratches) are the mainly detected flaws. In addition several types of foreign material inclusions observed. Statistic concerning eddy-current signal deviation and rejection rates for each supplier will be presented.

	For series production of 800 superconducting cavities for the European XFEL an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) is in use as a tool for quality control and quality assurance. DESY is responsible for “in-time” supply of more than 24000 semi-finished products of niobium and niobium-titanium alloy. The EDMS as a main repository was set up to fulfill logistic requirements and to guarantee traceability and documentation issues according to the European pressure equipment directive (PED 97/23 EC). The main aspects consist of complete paperless documentation, fully automated transfer of quality management documents and data from vendor system to DESY’s EDMS, providing to industry an access to relevant documentation and processing of release procedures for acceptance levels and non-conformity reporting. A summary of documentation methods, procedures and first experiences will be presented.

For series production of 800 superconducting cavities for the European XFEL an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) is in use as a tool for quality control and quality assurance. DESY is responsible for “in-time” supply of more than 24000 semi-finished products of niobium and niobium-titanium alloy. The EDMS as a main repository was set up to fulfill logistic requirements and to guarantee traceability and documentation issues according to the European pressure equipment directive (PED 97/23 EC). The main aspects consist of complete paperless documentation, fully automated transfer of quality management documents and data from vendor system to DESY’s EDMS, providing to industry an access to relevant documentation and processing of release procedures for acceptance levels and non-conformity reporting. A summary of documentation methods, procedures and first experiences will be presented.
