3. Contrary to Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the Standard Pipe & Supply Company, Quality System Procedure IAP-1, (Revision November 6, 1978), the Manager of QA/VP performs annual l

ORGANIZATION: STANDARD PIPE & SUPPLY COMPANY, INCORPORATED BALA CYNWYD, PENNSYLVANIA REPORT INSPECTION RESULTS: PAGE 3 of 5 NO.: 99901071/86-01 E. OTHER FINDINGS OR COMMENTS:

The VPR inspection of the Standard Pipe Company was done in order to evaluate the overall implementation of the Quality Program.

The inspection team performed a general survey in the areas of orcani-zation; Quality Assurance / Control Procedures; special processes; noncon-formance program; special processes; personnel certification and training; material control; Part 21 compliance; calibration program; and, vendor qualification / audit program. During the inspection it was apparent that the Standard Pipe Company Quality Program was in place and was being implemented. The Standard Pipe Company is essentially a pipe supply company that stocks and supplies a very limited amount of material (less than 11 orders a year) for nuclear applications. In general, require-nents for traceability and handling of nonconforming materials were riet according to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and ASME Section III.

1. Orcanization The Standard Pipe Company has had a considerable reduction in staff l

l since the early 1980s, approximately 80%. As a result, the Quality Assurance Manager also serves as a Vice President (VP) of the company.

In addition, the OA inspector (the sole inspector) serves as Warehouse Supervisor. The VP/0A manager is under the direction of and derives his authority from the Executive Board. The Executive Board is comprised of the President, Vice-President, and the QA Manager. The

! QA inspector / Warehouse Supervisor reports directly to the VP/QA manager. The VP/0A Manager is not a participant in any aspect of naterial sales for Nuclear Orders. Neither of the personnel involved with Quality (VP/QA Manacer, QA inspector / Warehouse Supervisor) had their quality related duties and respensibilities clearly defined in writing in terms of a job description. (See Nonconfornance 86-01-01).

Standard Pipe could not provide clear defined responsibilities for the Ouality Assurance Manager's job description and the Quality Assurance inspector job description. As stated, both of these individuals have dual quality and production responsibilities. This overlapping responsibility was cause for concern since, the VP/ Manager of OA performs annual internal audits of the warehouse, and the Warchnuse Supervisor /QA inspector's records. The Warehouse Supervisor /QA inspector has direct reporting responsibilities to both the VP/0A manager and the President of the Standard Pipe Company. (See Nonconformance 86-01-04) 1

2. 10 CFR Part 21 Standard Pipe's Part 21 compliance was evaluated and found to be generally satisfactory. Part 21 and Section 206 was posted on the warehouse bulletin board. However, Standard Pipe did not have a Part 21 procedure. Standard Pipe submitted a word for word reprint of 10 CFR Part 21 as their Part 21 procedure. No attempt was made to address the rethod that Standard Pipe would use to handle Part 21 evaluations, or how they would document and report deviations. (See Violation 86-01-01)

3. Calibration The Standard Pipe calibration program was evaluated. All micrometers were calibrated with standards traceable to National Bureau of Standards (NBS). However, micrometer serial #694028 had an identifi-cation sticker attached that did not indicate the serial number, or calibration date information (see Nonconformance 86-01-06). All of the instrument and measuring equipment calibration is contracted out to Gage Laboratory. Upon review of the Standard Pipe vendor audit file, it was determined that audits were not performed on Gage Laboratory between the years of 1982-83. (See Nonconfornance 86-01-05)

4. Review of Purchase Orders (PC)

Some 13 P0 packages were evaluated in detail. It was noted that P0 9763.011-42451 was placed with Plymouth Tube Corpany, who was not listed on the 1985 Approved Vendor List (AVL), at the time the P0 was placed. Review of the QA records showed the Plymouth Tube Company as being audited by the Standard Pipe Company and was to be ircluded on the next revision of the AVL.

5. Plant Tour The inspection team toured the Standard Pipe & Supply Company Varehouse. It was noted that Standard Pipe performed no special processes. There were up-to-date procedures et all work stations (cutting station, inspection and shipping). The inside and outside material storage areas were segregated by material type, grade, size, and wall thickness. In general the storage area was orderly and the stored materials were marked with heat numbers.

6. Training and Qualification i

Training and qualification records for three Standard Pipe Quality auditors (no longer with the company), one QA inspector and one QA supervisor were evaluated. They all participated in a minimum of 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> of instruction on the Quality Assurance Manual, and 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> of instruction that were related to the specific Quality duties of the individuals. However, upon interviewing the QA Inspector / Warehouse Supervisor it was evident that he had no knowledge of the requirements of 10 CFR Part 21.
