Response
We do not require such compliance by the purchaser of code l.
inspection services from an AIA. He Delieve that a certificate holder's audit of its AIA (or its Authorized Nuclear Inspector)
\\;ould tend to detract from the.TIA's and Inspector's " independence."
ile are considering the advisability of reconnending that the thtional Board of Boiler and Pressure vessel Inspectors perfer.1 s
such audits.
As in cur response to itea 3, above,);e alro require i
,I corpliance by the purchaser of itens and services fra.1 firns having AS"E Certificates of Authorizations (Code Stamp h]lders).
