The Operations Startup Group Administrative Procedures j
require that deficiencies noted during the performance i
of a
test are documented on the individual test procedure and also on a Test Deficiency Record.
This Test. Deficiency Record contains a
listing of any j
resulting Start Work Requests (SWRs) generated to obtain the necessary corrective action.
SWRs are tracked as open items by the Planning Scheduling computerized tracking system.
In
- addition, test l
personnel are cognizant of the scheduling and' actual implementation of any retest-requirements resulting from the test deficiencies.
The need for retesting is also recorded by test personnel on the actual SWR.
Test deficiencies and associated.
SWRs must be i
dispositioned and open Items relating to a system's test status cleared prior to final system acceptance by 4

630.22(c) r As noted above,.
the Operations Startup Group Administrative procedures require the documentation of retest requirements on the individual Startup Work Requests used to obtain corrective action.
In l
- addition, a
separate Retest Requirements Form is used to inform Jtartup personnel of the ratesting
- required, l
and to aid in retest scheduling.
The SWR provides the administrative control to assure the disposition of 4
each deficiency.
The retest requirement report remains as an open ' item until the required retest is satisfactorily completed and thus prevents the acceptance of a system which has not been ratested.
600.22(d)
The Operations Startup Group Administrative Procedures require that personnel use and adhere to approved test procedures.
These administrative procedures also t
contain the necessary document control requirements to provida assurance that only the latest revision of the approved test procedure will be used for actual test performance.
