10-1
GENERAL
The Manufacturer or Assembler shall have and maintain a quality control system which will establish that all Code requirements,1 including material, design, fabrication, examination (by the Manufacturer or Assembler), and for vessels and vessel parts, inspection (by the Authorized Inspector), will be met. The Quality Control Systems of UM, UV, or UD Stamp holders shall include duties of a Certied Individual, as required by this Division. The Certied Individual authorized to provide oversight may also serve as the Certicate Holders authorized representative responsible for signing data reports or certicates of conformance. Provided that Code requirements are suitably identied, the system may include provisions for satisfying any requirements by the Manufacturer, Assembler, or user which exceed minimum Code requirements and may include provisions for quality control of non-Code work. In such systems, the Manufacturer of vessels or vessel parts may make changes in parts of the system which do not affect the Code requirements without securing acceptance by the Inspector. [See UG-117(d).] Before implementation, revisions to quality control systems of Manufacturers and Assemblers of pressure relief valves shall have been found acceptable to the ASME designated organization if such revisions affect Code requirements. The system that the Manufacturer or Assembler uses to meet the requirements of this Division must be one suitable for his own circumstances. The necessary scope and detail of the system shall depend on the complexity of the work2 performed and on the size and complexity of the Manufacturers organization.3 A written description of the system the Manufacturer or Assembler will use to produce a Code item shall be available for review.
See UG-90(b) and UG-90(c)(1). The complexity of the work includes factors such as design simplicity versus complexity, the types of materials and welding procedures used, the thickness of materials, the types of nondestructive examinations applied, and whether heat treatments are applied. 3 The size and complexity of the organization includes factors such as the number of employees, the experience level of employees, the number of Code items produced, and whether the factors dening the complexity of the work cover a wide or narrow range.

Depending upon the circumstances, the description may be brief or voluminous. The written description may contain information of a proprietary nature relating to the Manufacturers or Assemblers processes. Therefore, the Code does not require any distribution of this information except for the Inspector, ASME Designee, or an ASME designated organization as covered by 10-15(c) and 10-16(c). It is intended that information learned about the system in connection with the evaluation will be treated as condential and that all loaned descriptions will be returned to the Manufacturer or Assembler upon completion of the evaluation.

of this chart is to identify and associate the various organizational groups with the particular function for which they are responsible. The Code does not intend to encroach on the Manufacturers right to establish, and from time to time to alter, whatever form of organization the Manufacturer considers appropriate for its Code work.
10-9
WELDING
The Quality Control System shall include provisions for indicating that welding conforms to requirements of Section IX as supplemented by this Division. Manufacturers intending to use AWS Standard Welding Procedures shall describe control measures used to assure that welding meets the requirements of this Division and Section IX. 10-10 NONDESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION
10-5
DRAWINGS, DESIGN CALCULATIONS, AND SPECIFICATION CONTROL
The Manufacturers or Assemblers Quality Control System shall provide procedures which will ensure that the latest applicable drawings, design calculations, specications, and instructions, required by the Code, as well as authorized changes, are used for manufacture, examination, inspection, and testing.
The Quality Control System shall include provisions for identifying nondestructive examination procedures the Manufacturer or Assembler will apply to conform with the requirements of this Division. 10-11 HEAT TREATMENT
10-6
MATERIAL CONTROL
The Manufacturer or Assembler shall include a system of receiving control which will ensure that the material received is properly identied and has documentation including required Certicates of Compliance or Material Test Reports to satisfy Code requirements as ordered. The required Certicates of Compliance or Material Test Reports may be electronically transmitted from the material manufacturer or supplier to the Certicate Holder. The material control system shall ensure that only the intended material is used in Code construction.
The Quality Control System shall provide controls to insure that heat treatments as required by the rules of this Division are applied. Means shall be indicated by which the Inspector, ASME Designee, or an ASME designated organization can satisfy himself that these Code heat treatment requirements are met. This may be by review of furnace timetemperature records or by other methods as appropriate. 10-12 CALIBRATION OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST EQUIPMENT
