ISO 9001 standard: “Quality Management Systems – Requirements” (latest revision as of the date of issuing the procurement documentation).
3.1.3 Conformance to Supplier’s/Manufacturer’s quality
program or system.
3.1.4 Other: Refer to procurement documentation, (e.g. PO, Statement of Work [SOW], specifications, drawings) for quality requirements.
NOTE: Clauses 3.2 through 3.22 apply to all POs and will be included collectively in other procurement documentation when required/specified.
3.2 Assessment by Buyer
The Supplier’s quality system is subject to assessments by the Buyer’s Representative(s) for conformance with the requirements of the PO. Supplier or Distributor must allow BSA representatives, BSA customers, and regulatory agencies right of entry into the Supplier’s facilities to determine and verify product, processes, records, personnel, material, procedures, and systems.
3.3 Change Approval
No change(s) are permitted to be made to any Buyer requirements, (e.g. part number, model number, etc.) without the prior written approval of the Buyer.
3.4 Responsibility for Subcontractors
It is the responsibility of the Supplier to impose applicable requirements from this document upon their subcontractors.
Additionally, the Buyer reserves the right to disapprove, in writing, any subcontractor. For nuclear facility requirements per NQA-1, the Supplier must incorporate NQA-1 requirements in sub-tier procurement documents.
3.5 Responsibility for Conformance
The Supplier is responsible to provide items that conform to the requirements of the PO regardless of any assessments, surveillances, inspections and/or tests by the Buyer or its representatives at either the Supplier’ or Buyer’s facility. The Buyer reserves the right to request failure analysis and corrective action for non-conforming articles or items submitted or supplied to the Buyer. The Supplier is responsible for notifying the Buyer of any recalls or alerts associated with this
PO.
When NQA-1 requirements are imposed, prior to shipment, the Supplier must report any nonconformance that cannot be corrected to full conformance and obtain approval from BNL for possible Use-As-Is or Repair dispositions. Additionally, for commercial grade services, a service performance record must be provided that documents the adequacy of the service performed to the identified critical characteristics documented in the PO/contract.
3.6 Protection of Material and Equipment
The Supplier must employ procedures that assure adequate protection of material and equipment during shipment and while in storage. Such protection must include special environmental packaging, as necessary. All items shipped (originally packaged or repackaged) to BNL or other locations cited in the PO or contract, must comply with the requirements for preservation, packaging and marking as stated in the latest revision of ASTM Standard D 3951 Standard Practice for Commercial Packaging.
3.7 Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) Calibration
