About this file
This document is the Quality Assurance (QA) requirements for a supplier providing items or services for the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) Pulsed Septum Magnet project.
The QA requirements cover conformance to the purchase order, rights of access for ANL, supplier quality management system, environmental protection, key personnel, manufacturing plan, inspection and testing, shipment, and acceptance criteria. Specific requirements include providing a quality assurance plan, listing manufacturing processes and inspection activities, obtaining approval for changes, performing dimensional and functional inspections, and providing certificates of conformance and calibration records. The supplier must also have processes to prevent delivery of suspect/counterfeit items. Additional requirements are specified for fasteners, lifting devices, pressure components, and welding. The document indicates that ANL will perform further acceptance testing after delivery, which could take up to 30 days before payment.
