Non conformity
A situation shall be considered as nonconforming if any activity or
operation has already performed which has resulted in noncompliance
with the applicable rules of the code, drawings, specifications, or the
requirements of Quality control manual.
NCs shall be corrected before the completion of vessel can be
considered to comply with the code.
NCs shall include, but not be limited to:
1)Material & Parts found to have deviation during receiving / in process
examination.
2)Weld material used not meeting the specification requirement.
3)Repairs affecting material.
4)Un-calibrated equipment used in measurement or test.
5)Time-Temp. cycle of HT performed deviating from specification.
6)Deviation from Design /Drawing
7)Situations not meeting requirement of this manual.
