1. SCOPE

Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program is designed to give producers the responsibility for controlling the quality
of product and to use the quality control information generated in the process of receiving certification from specifying
agencies. It requires producers to perform quality control sampling, testing and record keeping on the product. It allows
specifying agencies to perform quality assurance sampling, testing and record keeping to confirm the performance of
the producer’s quality plan as set forth herein. It is the intent of the program that acceptance or rejection of product be
based on the producer’s total quality program.

2. Quality Assurance / Quality Control Plan

The producer will prepare a written quality control plan. The plan may be generic but must be site-specific. The plan
will describe in detail how the producer proposes to control the equipment, materials and production methods to insure
that the specified products are obtained. The plan will list the personnel responsible for production and quality control
at the site. The following specific information will also be included in the plan:

 Identification of the physical location the plant, to include a description of the property site and references to
the nearest identifiable points such as highways and towns.
 The method of identification of each lot of product during manufacturing, testing storage and shipment. Some
specifying agencies may require special means of identifying and segregating product.
 The method of sampling, conditioning and testing of raw materials and finished product including lot
sizes and type of tests performed as well as a description of equipment used to perform the tests. This plan will
also include a method to trace the raw material lot to the finished product.
 A plan for dealing with quality control sample failures. This plan will include how the producer plans to
initiate an immediate investigation and implement corrective actions to remedy the cause of the problem. This
plan will also include the tests performed, the methods used to determine what tests are performed, and the
person responsible for making the determination
 A loading and shipping control plan which includes a description of the methods by which the products are to
be loaded and shipped. The plan will also include methods of ensuring that all products are properly identified.

A well-designed QA/QC program will include periodic audits of the efficacy of the program itself. Such audits will
generally address:

 Evaluation of manufactured pipe and fittings in inventory

 Inspection and recalibration (if necessary) of QC testing equipment
 QC inspection and reporting procedures
 Raw material sampling, testing and lot control procedures
 Product certification procedures
 Processing of customer complaints; corrective actions
 Processing of recommendations from plant personnel
