B. Organizational location, degree of independence from the performing organization, and authority of the individuals assigned the responsibility for performing QA functions. C. Organizational provisions for assuring the proper implementation of the QA program. 2. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM A. Scope of the QA program. B.
