Control Measures

4.2.1

Design Control. Design activities associated with FTF operations shall be

defined, verified, controlled, and documented. Design activities include design

or modification of facilities, facility systems, test equipment, and support

equipment. The use of appropriate engineering methods is required and shall be

documented. The technical rationale or "basis for design" that supports planned

design activities shall also be documented. (Examples of applicable systems or

equipment include the High Flow Alternative Test System [HFATS], exhaust air

handling systems with air cleaning capabilities, penetrometers, and associated

hardware, such as chucks or calibration devices.)

4.2.2

Control of Purchased Items and Services. Procurement of those items and

services important to testing activities shall be controlled to the extent necessary

to assure quality of items or services purchased. The following are considered

important procurement activities and services: source evaluation, vendor

inspection, tests or certifications, and receipt inspection. Examples of

applicable items that require procurement services are: test equipment, laser

spectrometers, diluter boards, and calibration services. Post-receipt activities

such as monitoring performance as an indicator of procured equipment/service

quality.

Identification of Items. Items requiring identification and control shall be

4.2.3

specified in the QPP. Identification requirements can be met either by marking

items or maintaining documents traceable to these items. (Examples of

applicable items are rejected filters and "as built" or "as modified" drawings.)

4.2.4

Control of Measuring and Test Equipment. Measuring and test equipment,

including manometers, gages, meters, and other measuring devices, shall be

controlled and calibrated within specified time periods to maintain the required
