CONTROL OF PURCHASED MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES l 7.1 General The control of the quality of purchased material, equipment and services is achieved through the evaluation of. vendors, survell-l lance of their operations and required source inspection, documenta-tion, receiving inspection and retention of quality records. Both Edison and the NSSS Supplier have direct procurement functions for the-Station. The Architect Engineer offers recommendations to Edison on vendor selection and reviews vendor efforts as directed by Edison. Edison will inspe:t and audit the NSSS Supplier's control of purchased material, equipment and services. Edison has the responsibility for-on-site control of Edison and the NSSS Supplier purchased material, equipment and services. Vendors (contractors and suppliers) furnishing material, I equipment and services to Ceco for items within the jurisdiction of this Quality Assurance Program will be selected on the basis of demonstrated capability to provide a product, process or service in accord uce with the design specifications and contract provisions. l The purpose of this Quality Requirement is.to define the I quality sy: tem elements and related policies which assure the quality of purchased material ~, equipment and services through the evaluation of vendors, surveillance of their operations, required I i source inspection, documentation, receiving inspection and retention l of quality records. The Superintendent Off-Site Audits will require-a Quality Assurance Program in accordance with ANSI /ASME NQA-1,. or ASME Boiler and Pressure Code Section III from vendors, consistent with the importance of the procurement to station safety and operation and i the requirements of ASME Section III and 10CFR50, Appendix B. For .ASME Code and safety-related procurements, the applicable vendor's Quality Assurance program shall be identified in-the procurement documents and shall require certification to their QA Program accepted by Ceco and shall identify the QA Program revision and date to which the work or service was performed or item supplied. In addition, Edison procurement documents will provide notification to vendor's that the provisions to 10CFR Part 21 apply. l 7-1 Rev. 57 12/01/89 Commonwealth Edison l
Control and approval of subcontractors' quality assurance programs, procedures and personnel qualifications, are the responsibility of the specific contractor involved. Such contractor actions are to be documented and will be subject to audit by Commonwealth Edison Company. An evaluation of vendor capability will be required for ASME Section III and safety-related items. Where valid records of vendor capability and quality performance are not available to CECO, a survey of the supplier's facilities, capabilities and quality assurance system will be made by CECO or its designated representative. For items requiring ASME Code conformance, vendors must be able to meet ASME Code requirements. Where material manufacturers or suppliers are qualified by CECO by survey, as provided under ASME Section III, and materials or . Items are procured directly from such qualified manufacturers or suppliers by another Certificate Holder on the basis of such survey, the qualification documentation shall be provided to the other Certificate Holder prior to its use of the materials or items. The Superintendent of Off-Site Audits in the Quality
- s6 Assurance / Nuclear Safety Department will be responsible for assuring
'that vendor Quality Assurance Program evaluations are carried out. The Quality Assurance / Nuclear Safety Department, for the Purchasing J Department, prepares and maintains the computerized Quality Approved 3 Bidders' List (QABL) for vendors of ASME, safety and regulatory related ,, items. The Purchasing Department maintains the commercial Approved LBidders List. Addition of vendors to the Quality Approved Bidders List .shall only be made upon approval by the Engineering and Construction

- 56 Quality Assurance / Nuclear Safety.
Section 9.0 of this report, " Control of Speclal Processes," estabitshes the evaluation and assessment of certain process and inspection capabilities of the vendor such as welding, heat treatment, and nondestructive examination. 7.2 Evaluation of Vendors i Past performance of a contractor / vendor.will be considered 'during procurement activities by CECO. Prior to contract or purchase
- order award, the bidder's capability and quality performance will be
' reviewed relative to the product, process, or service being procured. For suppliers of ASME services or items and for Material Suppliers or Manufacturers who do not have a Quality System Certificate (Materials) l or an ASME Certificate of Authorization with an appropriate scope a-survey of f.'the bidder's facilities prior to award may be required. Such review will verify ASME Code compliance as applicable. 7-2 Rev. 56 9/13/89 l Commonwealth Edison
0 7.3 Surveillance of Vendor Ooerations Source surveillance will be carried out through notification points estab11shed as a condition of procurement of safety-related or ASME Section III items. Special consideration will be given for surveillance during manufacture when one of the following is involved: a. Determination of conformance of the item to purchase order requirements at any other point would require uneconomic disassembly or destructive testing, b. Special instruments, gauges, or facilities required for inspection or test are more readily available at source and would be uneconomic to reproduce at the job site. c. A receiving inspection would destroy or require replacement of special preservation and packing. d. Quality Controls and inspections are integrated into production methods, and inspection at the suppliers plant is necessary to economically verify test reports, inspection records, certifications or other evidence of. quality. Source survel' lance by Commonwealth Edison Company or its agents will not nullify the vendor's responsibilities for maintaining a quality control organization oelivering items conforming to. procurement requirements. Unless otherwise specified, acceptance by Commonwealth Edison Company will be at the nuclear generating station site in accordance with the terms of the contract. The administration, surveillance and' inspection of off-site equipment and material vendors will be the responsibility'of the Engineering and Construction Department, as' applicable with final approval of inspection acceptance reports being vested in the Nuclear Quality Programs Department. 7.4 Receivino Insnection Materials and articles received from vendors will be inspected upon receipt to assure physical integrity and identity plus docmentation compliance with the procurement requirements. For items not source inspected, specific receipt inspection measures such as material and dimensional checks against approved' drawings and specifications and assurance that ASME. Code Data Reports are received-will be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with the applicable CECO or vendor QA program and to checklists approved by appropriate Quality Assurance or Quality Control personnel to verify conformance to procurement requirements. Where receiving inspection requires the use of calibrated instruments and tools, the identity of such equipment shall be recorded on the applicable receiving inspection documents. CECO purchases Code items and turns them over to site Code vendors. In the case where receipt inspection is 7-3 Rev.55 9/13/89 Commonwealth Edison
assigned to a site contractor, CECO provides thea uith applicable procurement documents, such as the Purchase Order, Specification, etc., required to assure that the CECO purchased items meet Code requirements and to perform receipt inspection. Also, for material supplied by non-Certificate holders, the CECO survey data covering such firms is made available to site Code contractors. When CECO performs receipt inspection of such purchases or when CECO upgrades stock material for-ASME Code use, CECO provides these vendors with the applicable Certified Material Test Reports and/or Data Reports plus the Materia) Receiving Report to provide verification that the purchased items supplied by CECO meet Code requirements. Documented evidence that material or equipment conforms to procurement requirements including, for Code items, indication of their compliance to the specified quality program must be retained and available at the site prior to use or installation. Part of this evidence shall be in the form of acceptable documentation such as Certified Matertal Test Reports, Pressure Test Reports, Certificates of Conformance, etc. Documentation requirements will be delineated in the individual equipment specifications. The Construction Materials Receiving Coordinator or designee will be responsible for assuring that receiving inspection is completed where the-Engineering and Construction Department is responsible for the work; ,. receipt acceptance approval will be by Nuclear Quality Programs . Department or its designated agent. Where ASME Section III . components and safety-related materials and equipment are received -by the station Stores Supervisor, station Quality Control will be responsible for receiving inspection and the Quality Assurance Engineer or Inspector for Maintenance shall assure through audit and . surveillance that the receiving inspection is complete and traceability is maintained. ASME Code material transferred from-Stores or another Commonwealth Edison Company station shall meet the trequirements specified for the designated installation. .: Nonconforming equipment will be controlled. 7.5 Sucolier Audit Vendors of safety-related and/or ASME Section III items i will be subjected to survey, audit or surveillance of-their quality 1 . assurance system by CECO, or its agents, at intervals ~ consistent with the importance to safety, complexity, and the quantity of the product or services being furnished in accordance with approved agenda and checklists to assure that the necessary manufacturing processes are being utilized and that quality controls are being maintained. 7.6 Soare Parts and Renacements i Spare parts and replacement items, equipment and components will be purchased to original or better design requirements in accordance with the controls herein. The applicable quality assurance requirements will be included in the procurement documents. 7-4 Rev. 56 9/13/89 Commonwealth Edison
Such spare parts and replacements from vendors will-require documentation by item, component, equipment or part number for iden-tification and traceability. Documentation for material will be in accordance with procurement order requirements. When the procurement order for ASME Section III components and safety-related spare parts, material, and equipment includes a specification or drawings, docu-mentation will be received from the vendor which verifies conformance with those requirements. In the case where the original part, item, component or equipment was procured with no specifically identified quality assur-ante program requirements, or was procured from a vendor who no longer can be retained on the nuclear Quality Approved Bidders list because of an inadequate Quality Assurance Program document, identical spare parts and replacement items, components or equipment may be similarly procured from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), but care shall be exercised-to assure at least equivalent-performance: that is, a joint technical ~ engineering and quality assurance documented evaluation shall be conducted to established requirements and controls by Technical Staff or Nuclear Engineering and by Quality Assurance personnel. The evaluation shall assure that interfaces, interchangeability, safety, fit and function are not adversely affected or are contrary to applicable regulatory or code requirements. In the use of procurements of safety-related materials', parts and items that are a manufacturer's standard product (commercial grade item), such commercial grade items shall be. Inspected as part of the receipt inspection function to assure that: (1) damage was not sustained during shipment; (2) the item received was the item ordered (i.e., its possesses the required attributes identical, as necessary, to the item specif_ led); and (3) documentation, as applicable to the item, was received and is acceptable plus, after being received,-such a-commercial grade item shall be tested, where applicable to assure that it will perform its intended function (i.e., by means of bench testing and/or functional testing as required). A commercial grade item is one that is not subject to design, specification, or testing requirements by_the supplier that are unioue to nuclear power plants; 1s one that is used in numerous appli, tions other than nuclear power plants; and it is one that can be ordered from the manufacturer / supplier on the basis of j specifications set forth in the manufacturer's published product 1 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 not available for items with the same part number obtained from the manufacturer, the item does not meet the definition of a commercial grade item and shall not be treated as a commercial grade item. 7-5 Rev. 55 3/27fgmcewealth Edison
The station Stores Supervisor and station Quality Control Supervisor are responsible for assuring that documentation for spare parts and equipment has been included as part of the shipment. The documentation for the purchased material, equipment, and/or services, after being reviewed and accepted by the Quality Control Supervisor will be retained at the station. When required documentation is lacking for safety-related and/or ASME Section III components or spare parts, the Technical Staff Supervisor will verify that appropriate documentation is obtained or that suitable inspection and testing is performed to verify conformance to procurerent. requirements and that such items are treated as nonconformances. Receipt inspection of spare parts and equipment purchased to ASME Section III and safety-related requirements shall be accepted by the Station Quality Assurance s Engineer or Inspector. i i i 7-6 Rev. 55 3/27/89 i Commonwealth Edison

For these processes, quality assurance is-obtained through reliance on personnel qualification-and procedural' control'in force as appropriate for the processes being employed for a specific task in connection with plant contract work, maintenance, repairs and modifications. The application of-these controls is assured through audit /sarveillance activities by CECO or its agent at vendor plants and/or at the site and by-Quality
- s6 Assurance at the operating stations. The Site Quality. Assurance Superintendent or' designee and the Station Quality Assurance Superintendent at the operating station is responsible for assuring that records of qualified personnel are maintained by the contractor for work performed for Edison. These special and construction processes include welding. heat treating, concrete placement, coating, plating, material cleaning and bonding, chemical processes, certain nondestructive testing processes and such additional processes that may be identified in the contract, purchase order or maintenance or modification procedure, as the result of ASME Section III, Division 1 and Division 2-for concrete containment requirements and/or design review.
Procedures for the control of special processes will be maintained for components within the primary system pressure boundary and other safety-related; items and ASME Section III designated components. These procedures will be in accordance with ASME and other applicable codes and specifications. When there is a specific reason to question whether the special process procedure or qualifications of personnel requirements are being met, the Authorized Nuclear Inspector may require requalification. Process control procedures will be used as required by specifications, Code or standards, as applicable.' Supplemental procedures will be prepared as necessary to provide detailed performance and methods for control of special processes and concrete placements for concrete containments. Process control procedures will specify the preparatory steps, processing details, i 9-1 Rev. 56 9/13/89 Commonwealth Edison
conditions to be maintained during the steps of process, inspection and test requirements and records requirements. Process control procedures of contractors and vendors will be submitted to Commonwealth Edison Company for review and. evaluation in accordance with documented Commonwealth Edison Company procedures. Process control procedures will specify the methods of verifying the adequacy of' processing materials, solutions, and equipment, including definitions of their associated control parameters. When the process is conducted in special environments, such as in vacuum or inert gases, the process control procedures will specify the requirements and methods for maintaining such environments. The control and approval of sub-vendor Quality Assurance -and Quality Control procedures are the responsibility of the specific vendor involved (included NSSS vendor). Control procedures for nondestructive examination processes such'as radiography, ultrasonic testing, liquid penetrant inspection, and magnetic particle inspection, will be used by Commonwealth Edison Company and their contractors and vendors to assure that the results provlde accurate, uniform and reproducible a , indications of actual quality.

Audits of off-site vendors generally will be conducted in conjunction with plant visits for witnessing inspection points by a quallfled Audit Team Leader. Also, periodically Quality Assurance will participate in such audits or perform independent audits to assure effectiveness of the program, compliance to the program and fulfillment of procurement requirements. The elements in the quality program, in procurement docu-ments and in related codes and standards, are subject to systems audits. Also, items received, fabricated and constructed or installed for use by Commonwealth Edison Company in its nuclear power plants are subject to audits. Audits will be performed selectively at various stages of contracts on a varying frequency, based on the nature and safety significance of the work being done to verify compliance and determine the effectiveness of procedures, inspections, tests, process controls and documentation. For Code materials, when a Material Manufacturer or Material Supplier, as applicable, does not hold a Quality System Certificate (Materials), the CECO audit frequency shall be.at least once annually during the interval in 'which CECO purchased material is being controlled by the Material ' Manufacturer or Material Supplier. In addition to these audits, . Quality Assurance will conduct approximately annually, overall (system audits of the NSSS vendor, the Architect Engineer, site
- contractors, vendors of services, and involved Edison Departments.
(Audits of CECO are also performed by the Authorized Inspection ' Agency as required by the ANSI N-626 series of Standards. Commonwealth Edison Company's active participation in joint ? utility audit programs provides an alternative means to fulfilling ' CECO's responsibility of auditing active vendors. To accomplish Lthis task, the completed joint utility audit report will be reviewed ,by the QA/NS Off-Site Audit staff for adequacy and compliance to CECO and regulatory requirements and for applicability and adherence to CECO specifications. Results of the QA/NS review and a copy of said audit report will be distributed internally to designated ~ personnel. Audits of CECO are also performed by the Authorized Inspection Agency as required by ASME/ ANSI-N626 Standard. For operating stations, periodic Quality Assurance audits will 'be performed to verify compliance with, and the effectiveness of, j the program. Audits covering operating will be performed in-accordance with the Technical Specifications under the direction and responsibility of the Nuclear Quality Programs Manager and the Superintendent of Off-Site Audits, as applicable, independent of the Production Department. Surveillance, review and audits covering maintenance, modifications, in-service inspection and Stores activities performed by the station organizations will-be performed under the direction and responsibility of the Nuclear Quality i Programs Manager and the Superintendent of Off-Site Audits, as applicable, where maintenance and modifications are performed by vendors or other organizations under the direction of the Engineering and Construction Department for the stations. Audit-results and recommendations of corrective action will be documented and reviewed with the management of the Station. Deficiencies 4 18-2 $U0lN9
