Receiving, Storage and Preventive Maintenance Inspection Manual (RS&PMI),
Revision 7, contains the instructions used for storage and preventive maintenance of materials and equipment.
The following activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with documented procedures:
1.
RS&PMI Manual, Section 6TD, paragraph 2, requires a monthly inspection be performed to verify that material which has exceeded its shelf life is discarded.
Contrary to the above, several gallons of protective coating stored in warehouse "CWL" had exceeded the manufacturer's specified shelf-life with no hold tags or Quality Control Investigation Reports documented.
l 2.
RS&PMI Manual, Section 6QC, paragraph 1, requires the PVC conduit be stored in bundles out of direct rays of sun.
Contrary to the above, PVC conduit located in the east issue laydown yard was stored in direct sunlight.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II).
