necessary. • Engineering judgement applied in the acceptance process must be documented sufficiently to allow a comparably qualified individual to reach the same conclusion. • The validity of the commercial-grade item dedication must be maintained as long as the item remains in service. Dedicated software items should not be updated to new revision levels without prior evaluation to determine if a design change is required. Commercially dedicated items should not be operated in a configuration outside the bounds of the original dedication. • The utility should arrange to be notified by the vendor when defects are discovered. This requires confirmation that the vendor’s processes will support this need. • TR-106439 notes that not all commercial items can be successfully dedicated. D. References ANSI/IEEE Std 279-1971.
