Contrary to the above, on April 30, 1987, the verification data for two ,

commercial grade items, Ampere Meter Model No. GE P/N AB-40 and l Mercury Wetted Relay Model No. GE-P/N 225A-5365 - P001 were not available l to demonstrate that a specified critical component characteristic (seismic) had been met in determining the acceptability of the commercial grade items for safety related applications.
