O Crosby Valve & Gage Company Docket No. 99900052/80-01 NOTICE OF DEVIATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on May 7-9, 1980 it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements as indicated below:
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and paragraph NCA-4134.5 of Section III of the ASME Code states: " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accom-plished." Deviations from these requirements are as follows:
Paragraph 18.10 of Section 18 to the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual states in part: "The Quality Assurance Manager is responsible for maintaining a Quality Program and taking the appropriate corrective action to correct any deficiencies in the program.
If a deficiency exists, he prepares a Corrective Action Request.
The Quality Assurance Manager follows-up after the specified time permitted by the request to assure the deficiency has been corrected...."
Contrary to the above, Supplier Qualification Survey Forms (Q.C.-56) had some items on the check list checked "No" (indicating program deficiencies) without a Corrective Action Request being implemented. The QA program does not provide for explaining possible extenuating circumstances in lieu of initiating a Corrective Action Request.
Prior to the termination of the inspection, the Quality Assurance Manager presented Revision 2, of Departmental Operating Instruction QA-48-3004, which requires the auditor, when "No" is checked on the Supplier Qualifi-cation Survey Form (Q.C.-56), to either implement a corrective Action Request, or enter an explanation as to why the vendor was not required to meet the requirement. The implementation of the revised instruction will be verified during the next inspection.
No response to this deviation is required.
