Applying for a Non-Nuclear Certificate of Authorization |
|
To receive a Certificate of Authorization from the TSSA, the following must be submitted:
|
Site Audit / Survey |
| The TSSA will confirm an audit/survey date after all documents have been received. A demonstration item for which the program can be seen in operation is also required at the time of the site audit/survey. The demonstration item may be work in progress or a demonstration job manufactured specifically for the audit/survey. This may require the involvement of a TSSA Authorized Inspector on the demonstration item before an audit/survey can be performed. Please check this with your local TSSA Inspector |
Other Information Related to the Quality Program |
|
The scope of non-nuclear quality programs must be maintained to the latest applicable codes and standards at all times. Nuclear quality programs allow the applicant to select a code effective date which may be earlier than the latest edition of the code or standard. |
