The department requesting the quality-related material or service provides technical content. Design Engineering is responsible to review the request for technical content and quality requirements.
Quality will concur with all changes to ,
quality requirements. j 5.1.2 The sequence of preparation, review, approval, and issuance of procurement documents is generally as follows:
i 5.1.2.1 Purchase Requisitions i l
e Purchase requisition forms shall be used to initiate the procurement of quality-related materials, parts, components, services, and Commercial Grade Items (CGI). Procurement may be initiated by any Nuclear Group personnel.
- Purchase requisitions shall include material and component j identification requirements, i drawings, specifications, standards, inspection and test requirements, and special process instructions as appropriate.
