Narrative:
Aircraft doors and chaffed strip on a flap fairing. The concerns of the 'ok for service' was not properly done. Did not have the information as to the wear limits. The other is that the 'ok for service' need to be concurred by a quality control representative; not a vendor quality control inspector.
