hich addres- ses the control of spare and replacement parts) of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code address general requirements for control of procurement of items and services for nuclear power plants, these sec- tions do not explicitly address all the activities described in the ANSI N45.2.13-1976 standard. ANSI N45.2.13-1976, subject to the exceptions of the regulatory position, should be used in conjunction with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Divisions 1 and 2, and Section XI for control of procurement of items and services where the ASME Code does not address the activities covered by ANSI N45.2.13-1976. 3. Section 9.3 of ANSI N45.2.13-1976 states, "The Purchaser's corrective action measures shall include verification of implementation of Supplier's correc- tive action system." The Purchaser should verify the implementation of the Supplier's corrective action system when such a system is required, but this verification need not be included as part of the Purchaser's corrective action measures. While Sec- tion 9.0 of ANSI N45.2.13-1976 addresses elements of the Purchaser's corrective action system, these same elements are applicable to the Supplier's correc- tive action system when one is required. 4. Section 10.1 of ANSI N45.2.13-1976 states that the Purchaser shall establish the method of accep- tance of an item or service being furnished by the Supplier. In order for receiving inspection personnel to be aware of what methods of acceptance are es- tablished, the applicable portion of the procurement document identifying the method of acceptance of an item or service, or other documents containing the same procurement document information, should be on hand. 5. ANSI N45.2.13-1976 addresses the control of procurement of items and services that affect the quality of nuclear power plants, including spare and replacement parts. The standard, however, does not provide "requirements" specific to spare and replace- ment parts. Section
