A commercial grade item. is one that is not subject to design, specification, or testing requirements by the supplier that are unique to nuclear-pow et plants; is one that is used* in numerous; applications other than nuclear power plants; and it is one that can be ordered from the manufacturer/supplier on the basis of specifications set forth in the mariufacturer's published product description (i~e., catalog) or on the basis of its manufacture to national standards.

When *an item is purchased by specifying the manufacturer's catalog part number,. when documentation is required beyond that indicated in the catalog, and. when such documentation is no*t available* for items-w-ith the same* part n\\.1IIlbe*r obtained from the.

manufacturer, the item doe.s not meet the* definition of a commercial grade item and shall not be: treated as a commercial grade item.
