General Equipment FabricationSpecification (Draft)1.Purpose and scope1.1.PurposePage 1 of 25This general equipment fabrication specification (hereafter “specification”), when invoked,outlines the design, fabrication, assembly, testing, quality assurance, and documentationrequirements for fabricated equipment procured by WRPS (Buyer). This is to be used inconjunction with the applicable datasheet, which can modify, add or delete requirements and/orquality clauses. Refer to the associated equipment datasheet(s) and/or drawings for detailedrequirements. All associated documents will be identified in procurement documents.1.2.ScopeThis specification, when invoked, shall be used in conjunction with the associated drawings,equipment datasheet and quality requirements that applies to all organizations involved withfabrication of the specified equipment for the Buyer. Equipment specific datasheets that identifyQL-3 quality requirements are also included as part of this Express of Interest (EOI) package.1.3.DefinitionsApproval: A written statement from an authorized Buyer representative.Buyer: The organization responsible for establishment or procurement requirements and forissuance or administration, or both, of procurement documents.Certificate of Compliance: A written statement, signed by a qualified party, attesting that theitems or services are in accordance with specified requirements and accompanied by additionalinformation to substantiate the statement.Certificate of Conformance: A written statement, signed by a qualified party, certifying that theitems or services comply with the specific requirements of the purchase order.Certified Material Test Reports: A certification from the manufacturer that include actualresults of all chemical analysis, tests, examination, and treatments required by the materialspecification.Certified Test Report: A written and signed document, approved by a qualified party thatcontains sufficient data and information to verify the actual properties of items and the actualresults of all required tests.Certified Welding Inspector (CWI): A person with current certification as an AWS CertifiedWelding Inspector in conformance with the provisions of AWS QC1.Drawing: Documents, usually depicting physical requirements, produced by WRPS or othersthat may provide additional information or requirements about the equipment being fabricatedDatasheet: Documents that provide additional information and requirements about theequipment being fabricated. This specification is intended to be used with an associateddatasheets.

General Equipment FabricationSpecification (Draft)Page 2 of 25Hold Point: A point in the fabrication/manufacturing sequence of operational steps when aninspection must be completed by an authorized Buyer quality representative prior to workproceeding to the next operational step. Work may not proceed beyond the designatedoperational step without either an authorized Buyer quality representative completing theinspection, or receipt of a written waiver from an authorized Buyer quality representative.Note: The required amount of advance notification to be given to Buyer will be specified indesign or procurement documents.Non-conformance: A deficiency in characteristic, documentation, or procedure that renders thequality of an item unacceptable or indeterminate. Examples of non-conformance include;physical defects, test failures, incorrect or inadequate documentation, or deviation fromprescribed processing, inspection or test procedures.Progress Report: Biweekly statements of progress/updated schedule including status of majoractivities, milestones accomplished, variances and impact to overall schedule.Qualified Party: A person or organization competent and recognized as knowledgeable toperform the specified functions.Repair: The process of restoring a non-conforming characteristic to a condition such that thecapability of an item to function reliably and safely is unimpaired, even though that item may notconform to the original requirement.Rework: The process by which an item is made to conform to the original requirements bycompletion or correction.Supplier: Any individual or organization who furnishes items or services in accordance with aprocurement document. An all-inclusive term used in place of any of the following: vendor,seller, contractor, subcontractor, fabricator, consultant, and their sub-tier levels.Weld Map: A listing of all welds, showing location, weld procedure, welder and NDE results.Weld Repair Map: A listing of all repairs made by welding showing location, weld procedure,welder, and NDE results.Witness Point: A point in the fabrication/manufacturing sequence of operational steps when anauthorized Buyer quality representative must witness the performance of the designatedoperational step, unless the Buyer elects not to be present after the Buyer has received therequired notification of the Witness Point. Written authorization to proceed is not required by theBuyer.Note: The required amount of advance notification to be given to the Buyer will be specified indesign or procurement documents.
