I.5 Provide the qualifications of the individual responsible for defining and
_, implementing the QA program.
Identify this individual by position title.
II.6 This item addresses indoctrination and training. Describe the documentation of these activities and describe how the proficiency of personnel performing quality-affecting activities is maintained.
IV.3 Expand this item to include a comitment that procurement documents contain et reference applicable material and component identification requirements, drawings, specifications, codes and industrial standards, test and inspection requirements, and special process instructions as well as regulatory require-ments.
V.3 This item states that the QA organization performs some activities "as a func-tion of product acceptance." Product acceptance may not be an appropriate time to perform these activities. For example, QA review of special process procedures should occur before the procedure; are used on production hardware.
Clarify that the activities are perfomed on a timely basis. Also, any alter-natives to the comitments of V.3 must be reviewed and found acceptable by the NRC. Therefore, delete "or acceptable alternatives" from the comitment and either a) meet the comitment or b) propose any alternatives for our evalua-tion.
Noted The introductory paragraph to criteria VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, and XVII states that vendors who have NRC approved quality assurance programs comply with 10 CFR Part 71, Appendix E.
While it is true that such vendors are comitted to comply with 10 CFR Part 71, Appendix E, it is SWS's respon-sibility to verify that their vendors do comply. Revise the introductory paragraph accordingly. Also, criterion VIII should also include the second introductory paragraph found in most of the other listed criteria, and criterion IX should either include the second introductory paragraph or a statement that SWS does not perform special processes.
X.4 The words " performed by the Material Department" in item X.4 appears to limit the comitment. Delete the quoted words or justify not doing so.
XI.2' The words " performed by the Material Department" in item XI.2 appears to limit the comitment. Delete the quoted words or justify not doing so.
XII.3 Provide a comitment to document the measures taken when M&TE is found to be out of calibration.
XIII.7 Clarify that audits will also use the QA program description as acceptance criteria.
