Adequacy of training and qualification of personnel involved in the auditing and surveillance processes.

Adequacy of frequency, timeliness and thoroughness of QA surveillance and audits necessary to assure that both the form and substance of QA Program elements are fully evaluated.

Conduct of QA activities in accordance with applicable industry standards and practices.

The quality of the following activities is assured by other measures instituted by the SRT and these activities are not within the scope of the OQT:

SRT activities.

Technical review of Results Reports, Assessment of CPRT program adequacy.
