In
February 2006, the NUPIC audit team of five persons completed its
Joint Utility Audit of GA-ESI’s Quality Program,
which was highly successful. The purpose of the audit was to perform
a triennial re-qualification through a performance based supplier audit,
and assess the adequacy and effective implementation of GA-ESI’s
Program for meeting 10CFR50 Appendix B and 10CFR21, in providing RMS
equipment, repair, testing, calibration spares, firmware, Engineering
and field services. The audit team commended the company for having
a very strong quality culture and a proactive staff. The team noted
that this strength was also evident in the previous audit in 2003.
The 2006 audit concluded that GA-ESI was re-qualified for the Approved
Supplier List of the audit lead utility, Arizona Public Service, and
that the audit frequency be retained at 3 years.
