| Lack of evidence of dedication testing for AMETEK Solidstate Controls Safety-Related Operational Spare Parts Kits provided with SCI equiprnent CAUSE: In October 2018, NextEra Seabrook notified SCI of a part number discrepancy with a safety-related fuse that was provided with an operational spare parts kit with an equipment order. After further investigation, it was determined that dedication testing was not performed on the *operational spare parts kits provided with the equipment on various jobs in recent years. | | s\METEK PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: |
| * Generally, spare parts are ordered separately from equipment and a process is in place to direct the parts to quality for commercial grade dedication testing*. | | Lack of evidence of dedication testing for AMETEK Solidstate Controls Safety-Related Operational Spare Parts Kits provided with SCI equiprnent CAUSE: |

Subject:
Notification of Potential Defect - 10CFR Part 21 Product: AMETEK Solidstate Controls Safety-Related Operational Spare Parts Kits AM.ETEK Solidstate Controls (SCI} is providing this report in accordance with 10CFR Part 21 as notice of a process defect that resulted in components being provided as safety-related spare parts without being dedicated.

s\METEK PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Lack of evidence of dedication testing for AMETEK Solidstate Controls Safety-Related Operational Spare Parts Kits provided with SCI equiprnent CAUSE:
In October 2018, NextEra Seabrook notified SCI of a part number discrepancy with a safety-related fuse that was provided with an operational spare parts kit with an equipment order. After further investigation, it was determined that dedication testing was not performed on the *operational spare parts kits provided with the equipment on various jobs in recent years.
- Generally, spare parts are ordered separately from equipment and a process is in place to direct the parts to quality for commercial grade dedication testing*. In this instance, the parts were ordered as a line item on the sale and the parts in question were selected from inventory without being routed through quality for commercial grade dedication.
PROBLEM YOU COULD SEE:
Evidence of dedication testing is not available for operational spare parts kits which were provided with equipment orders, however, there.are no functional concerns with the components provided on these orders. The parts would have been selected at the same time as the. parts that were installed in the systems. Additionally, for the commercial grade items provided, there is no history of failure during dedication testing performed by AMETEK either in equipment or during bench testing.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Aside from printed circuit boards, the parts supplied as oper~tional spare parts on the following orders will need to be dedicated:
