ASQ Liaison Report Cincinnati, Ohio
April 6, 2017
Infrastructure and Process Improvements
ANSI performed their reaccreditation audit in December 2014. A revision was submitted to ANSI to close out the audit. ANSI approved the Standards Committee Operating Manual on July 2, 2015. This places ASQ in an excellent position as a Standards Development Organization for the next three years.
The national ASQ Standards Committee Vice Chair is assigned the responsibility for maintaining the ASQ Operating Manual. This position is currently filled by the Energy and Environmental Standards Chair.
Energy and Environmental Division Standards
Work to revise ANSI/ASQC E1, Quality Program Guidelines for Project Phase of Nonnuclear Power Generation Facilities has been suspended. There is no current schedule. A new champion has been identified.
The EED Standards Chair informed the Division that some utilities have asked ASQ to “dust off” the draft of ANSI/ASQC E3, Quality Guidelines for Commercial Operations Phase of Nonnuclear Power Facilities, but no action has been taken.
ANSI/ASQC E2 -1996. Guidelines for Inspection Planning has not been active for over twenty years.)
ANSI/ASQC E4, Quality Systems for Environmental Data and Technology Programs, was reviewed and approved by ANSI and was published in February of 2014. We have a few more years before having to decide the next course of action
Actions are taking place to revise the ASQC Quality Auditor’s Handbook that was last published by ASQC in 1986. This handbook was very popular in the mid- eighties and could be useful to utilities in the struggling nuclear renascence as well as international users. A late 2014 survey of utilities by the undersigned found little current interest. Many organizations still use the 1980s document to train their auditors and there is a lot of interest in revising it for international users.
Personnel
The undersigned serves as Vice Chair of the National ASQ Standards Committee. His current term will expire in December 2017.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. Moseley, Jr.

This report is from the liaison representative from ANS to ASME NQA who also serves as the ASME NQA liaison to the ANS Standards Board. ANS 3.2 Activity ANSI 18.7/ ANS3.2 Management, Administrative, and Quality Assurance Controls for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants is the main ANS standard of interest to the NQA committee. It was last published in 2012 There are four NQA Main committee members on the existing 3.2 working group so communications are very effective. The 2012 edition provides the Managerial, Administrative and QA controls necessary to implement 10CFR 50 Appendix B for operating Nuclear Power Plants. The revision references NQA-1 2008/2009 in many places as the standard for the implementation of the Quality Assurance requirements. (Over seventy operating nuclear units were represented on the WG.) The NRC issued Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.33 in June 2013. (The last draft of Regulatory Guide 1.33 was issued for comment in 1983.) This was a major step forward in achieving consistent quality requirements for the nuclear industry. The Working Group decided to Reaffirm the NRC endorsed 2012 edition. Balloting was successful and ANSI approved the Reaffirmation in April 2017. A number of personnel changes in the Working Group will occur prior to the next required action. Other ASNS Quality Related Standards ANSI/ANS-15.2, Quality Control for Plate-type Uranium-aluminum Fuel Elements was reaffirmed in September 2016 as an alternative to revision. The intent is to revise the document to address new emerging materials prior to the next scheduled Standards action in 2021. ANSI/ANS-15.8-1995, Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Research Reactors was Reaffirmed in 2013. No action is planned for this year. Both standards are formatted in the eighteen criteria and are consistent with NQA-Part 1.

ISO 19443, a Quality Management Standard for the Nuclear Supply Chain ASTM International administers the Nuclear Technical Advisory Group (NTAG) which provides all US support to the ISO Technical Committee 85 - Nuclear Energy (ISO/TC 85). The NTAG is responsible for the US review and balloting of all standards developed by ISO/TC 85. ISO/TC 85/Working Group 4 (ISO/WG 85/WG 4) has been working for several years developing ISO 19443, a quality management standard for the nuclear supply chain. The 7th meeting of the ISO/TC 85/WG 4 was hosted by the IAEA in Vienna, Austria from July 17 to July 21. Doug Brown and Don Prigel participated via Skype. All DIS (Draft International Standard) comments (including IAEA comments and positions) were considered and an overall review and revision of the draft was performed. The US had not offered any formal comments to the DIS version, but regardless, input from the US delegation was sought (and sometimes offered extemporaneously) on numerous issues. The US feedback was received positively and improved the resultant draft. The WG unanimously agreed with the content of the updated document and that it be promoted forward to Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) status. The scope of the standard has been contentious from the beginning and dominated discussion during many of the early WG meetings. Many of the participating countries have worked hard on the scope statement, and the French in particular compromised significantly from their original position. The IAEA asked for additional time to review the FDIS version approved by the WG, and the WG agreed to receive an updated IAEA position on or before September 1st. The IAEA subsequently concurred with the FDIS and the FDIS entered the approval cycle on September 1, beginning with final formatting and translation followed by a submittal for voting by the TC 85 countries. The next WG meeting is planned from December 11th to the 15th to address guidance material and conformity assessment requirements. The meeting location will be either UK - London (premises to be defined later) or FRANCE - Paris (premises to be defined later). The WG has already begun developing guidance on a number of topics. This work will continue at the December meeting. Since ISO 19443 will be an ISO conformity assessment standard (involving certification by third parties), the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO) will begin liaison with the WG to endure a consistent and harmonized approach to implementation of ISO 19443.
