This does not apply to ESP applicant QA programs (10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(ii)). 6. The QA program ensures that activities affecting quality will be accomplished under suitable controlled conditions, including (1) the use of appropriate equipment, (2) a suitable environment for accomplishing the activity, e.g., adequate cleanliness, and (3) compliance with necessary prerequisites for the given activity. 7. The QA program is required to be documented by written policies, procedures, or instructions. 8. The QA program shall take into account the need for special controls, processes, test equipment, tools, and skills to attain the required quality, and the need for verification of quality by inspection and test. 17.5-9 Draft Revision 1 – August 2014 9. The QA program should describe adequate indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality to ensure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.

Personnel responsible for performing quality-affecting activities are instructed as to the purpose, scope, and implementation of the quality- related manuals, instructions, and procedures. b. Personnel verifying activities affecting quality are trained and qualified in the principles, techniques, and requirements of the activity being performed. c. For formal training and qualification programs, documentation includes the objective, content of the program, attendees, and date of attendance. 10. A general grace period of 90 days may be applied to provisions that are required to be performed on a periodic basis unless otherwise noted.
