Storage - Surveillance of Stored Packages for Safety
6.4.1 Surveillance Program
1. Surveillance Programs shall address site-specific operating conditions and quality
assurance approaches.
2.
The Site Surveillance Program shall specify:
1) A clearly defined approach (which may include statistical measures, anticipated
failure rates, consideration of risks inherent in the package contents and other
risks, and engineering judgment) by which Package selection, frequency, and
sample size shall be established, and may be adjusted;
2) The initial surveillance frequency (or time between inspections);
3) The initial size and composition of the sample of Packages to be surveyed; and
4) Provisions for evaluation of any observed off-normal behavior or unanticipated
condition.
3. Surveillance prescribed by Surveillance Programs shall include:
1) Initial baseline Package inspections within 30 days of package closure;
2) Periodic surveillance throughout the storage period to gather information on
Package performance and/or the behavior of the container and its contents. The
level of scrutiny over time may be adjusted based on observed Package behavior.
4. The Site Surveillance Program shall document safety inspection/surveillance methods
and responsibilities.
5. The Site Surveillance Program shall require procedures that:
1) Identify prerequisites for the surveillance,(i.e., those actions that must be taken
or conditions that must be satisfied before an inspection);
2) Identify acceptance criteria and provide specific instructions for action when any
of those criteria are not met; and
3) Establish and maintain a documented safety surveillance schedule.
