(NQA-1) d. The design process ensures that items and activities are selected and independently verified to ensure they are suitable for their intended application. (NQA-1) e. Changes to final designs (including field changes and modifications) and dispositions of nonconforming items to use-as-is or repair are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and approved by the organization that performed the original design or a qualified designate. The designate has demonstrated competence in the specific design area of interest and has an adequate understanding of the requirements and intent of the original design. (NQA-1) f. Interface controls (internal and external between participating design organizations and across technical disciplines) for the purpose of developing, reviewing, approving, releasing, distributing, and revising design inputs and outputs are defined. Design information transmitted across interfaces is documented and controlled. Transmittals identify the status of the design information or document provided and, where necessary, identify incomplete items which require further evaluation, review, or approval. Where it is necessary to initially transmit design information orally or by other informal means, the transmittal is confirmed promptly by a controlled document. (NQA-1) 17.5-10 March 2007 g. Design records, maintained to provide evidence that the design was properly accomplished, include not only the final design output and revisions to the final output, but also the important design steps (e.g., calculations, analyses, and computer programs) and the sources of input that support the final output. (NQA-1) h. Design analysis documents are legible and in a form suitable for record keeping. They are sufficiently detailed as to purpose, method, assumptions, design input, references, and units such that a person technically qualified in the subject can review and understand the analyses and verify the
