RE: QC Manual
RE: QC Manual
For things built the ASME Code, the answer is NO. Reason being, that a 3rd-party approved QC Manual is mandatory. You would have to properly revise the QC manual and then reobtain that 3rd-party approval.
RE: QC Manual
However, on pages 173 - 186 there should be sufficient flexibility written in to allow for cases that weren't fully considered when the plan was written.
So in reality you should never need to deviate from the plan because the plan allows just about anything, as long as it is documented an controlled.
RE: QC Manual
Any QC program is only as good as the people who enforce it. I've seen 1 page QC documents which were created just for the sake of having one to fulfill a subcontractor requirement, and others in the nuclear arena that practically need a supercomputer to maintain and are enforced to the letter.
The answer to the original question posed by the OP, in my opinion, is impossible to justify without any context whatsoever, unless of course answered with an "it depends."
RE: QC Manual
Mr168, I belive you are referring to the INCR - Intentional Non-Conformance Report. Sometimes that (even in nuclear) is the best way to move forward.
