Contrary to the above Meredith certified and supplied stock material as meeting Section III to the Anchor Darling Valve Company,. South Texas nuclear plant, and Congdon and Carpenter without testing each piece of i stock material. Meredith had not audited the quality' system programs at '

the suppliers and therefore could not establish traceability.- (89-01-01) u
