1 1.0 QUALIFICATION BY ANALYSIS This EQPR is intended to be used when buying valves and spare parts manufactured by ITT Engineered Valves (hereinafter ITT Engineered) for use throughout Ontario Power Generation Nuclear (hereinafter OPG) sites in safetyrelated applications which require environmental qualification (EQ). OPG Engineer (see the Contract Standard for definition of Engineer ) generally assesses and qualifies electrical equipment for use in EQ applications by conducting qualification tests (or referring to qualification tests performed by others) whereas mechanical items are generally qualified by analysis. Once it has been established that an item is environmental qualified (EQ), it is necessary to ensure that successive purchases of the item shall be equivalent to the qualified item. In order to do so, it is necessary to clearly establish the critical characteristics of the qualified item so that these can be replicated and verified. These critical characteristics may be shown on one or more of a number of different documents including the manufacturer s catalogue, manufacturer s drawing(s), test reports, qualification reports, bill(s) of material, specification(s) etc. So as not to limit the generality of the foregoing list, the document that describes the critical characteristics that need to be replicated shall be referred to herein as the primary controlled document. For EQ materials it is essential that the primary controlled document clearly identifies the materials of construction as well as other critical characteristics of the item. See EPRI NP-5652 and TR for a more detailed explanation of critical characteristics. The primary controlled document shall be selected by OPG Engineer and stipulated in OPG Purchase Order (P.O.) item description. In every instance, the content of the primary controlled document shall be under rigorous revision control. In instances when the primary controlled document defines most but not all critical characteristics, and in instances when the primary controlled document provides configuration or material selection options, the required characteristic or material option(s) shall be stipulated in the OPG P.O. item description. ITT Engineered is advised that the item shown in the P.O. item description has been assessed and qualified by the OPG Engineer for use in nuclear safety-related applications based on the primary controlled documents referenced in the OPG P.O. item description. All the items and spare parts are to be supplied in accordance with the requirements of the OPG Design/technical specifications referenced in the OPG P.O. item description. If there is no primary controlled documents referenced in the item description ITT Engineered is to contact the OPG Buyer for further direction. If there is a discrepancy between the primary controlled document, OPG specification data sheet and the required item description, ITT Engineered shall contact the OPG Buyer for resolution, using the forms referenced in section 2.0 below. 2.0 CHANGES IN DESIGN AND SUBSTITUTION OF QUALIFIED MATERIALS Changes made to all pressure boundary related material/ components and elastomeric components since the valves and spare parts were previously assessed and environmentally qualified by OPG are to be tracked. ITT Engineered shall advise OPG in the event that changes take place in the following areas: design of the product, material/compounds used, manufacturing methods, non-destructive testing procedure, and test reports. Some changes, which may appear insignificant and not deem to be reported to the client (since fit, form, and function are met), can invalidate the equipment nuclear performances. Changes to non-metallic components are of particular interest to OPG. ITT Engineered shall notify the OPG Buyer using the forms identified below, if any changes have or are to take place to the item shown in the purchase order item description which is assessed and qualified by OPG. ITT Engineered shall ensure contractual provisions and QA program requirements imposed on suppliers and subsuppliers are such that ITT Engineered will be notified of any such changes (all pressure boundary related material/ This clause applies to purchase orders placed on or after March 20, 2018 Page 1 of 7

2 components and elastomeric components) that may occur within the supply chain. If any of these changes take place then ITT Engineered shall notify the OPG Buyer using the Vendor Parts/ Material Substitution Control form N- Form during bidding or the Concession Application form N-Form subsequent to contract award. As an alternative to the preceding paragraph, ITT Engineered shall notify the OPG Buyer, using the same forms, if for any reason it is unable to provide assurance that there have been no such changes since the item was originally evaluated/ tested for use in a nuclear safety application. OPG buyer should forward all such notifications to the Design Authority in OPG. The responsible Design Authority shall make all decisions relating to the need to re-evaluate and/or re-test and the item. Although the Design Authority may solicit ITT Engineered input to the decision, the decision of the Design Authority will be final. ITT Engineered is advised that: These valves and spare parts shall be installed in a nuclear safety system and the system shall be required to operate following a very unlikely but theoretically possible Design Basis Accident. If such an accident occurred, these valves and spare parts could be subjected to a harsh environment consisting of chemical and pressure transients, radiation, steam, elevated temperature and pressure, or submergence. It is possible that the Design Basis Accident could occur at a time when these valves and spare parts have already been subjected to many years of normal operation and are nearing the end of their useful operating life. These valves spare parts have been rigorously evaluated and/or tested, and OPG s Engineer expects that they shall perform their intended safety function following exposure to this harsh environment. OPG s Environmental Qualification Assessment (EQA) has established that these items may not perform their intended safety function if there is a substitution of materials, changes in design, or changes in manufacturing methods. This is especially true for changes or substitutions of non-metallic components used in the construction of these valves and spare parts. Some non-metallic components are known to be subject to degradation in a harsh environment and can deteriorate quickly when exposed to steam, heat, or especially when exposed to high levels of radiation. OPG Engineer accepts that changes in design, sub-suppliers, materials, and manufacturing methods may be necessary as technology and manufacturing processes change with time. OPG Engineer also accepts that companies may not be able to track all changes that occur over a long period of time. It is the OPG Engineer s objective to minimize unnecessary changes that would necessitate a re-evaluation the ability of these valves and spare parts to perform their intended safety function following a Design Basis Accident. Even minor changes may dictate the need to retest or re-qualify these valves and spare parts. In any event, it will certainly dictate the need to evaluate the effect of the change, and a revision to the EQA to ensure that the new valves and spare parts shall perform the same intended safety function as the valves that were previously qualified. The "changes" referred to in this section are interpreted to mean any changes in materials of construction, changes in manufacturing processes that affect interchangeability, changes in form, fit and function, or any changes from the original design or performance requirements. Insignificant changes that do not affect any of these criteria (i.e. that do not result in a change in the item part number) are considered to be outside the scope of this requirement. 3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY QUALIFIED ITEMS For the EQ items that ITT Engineered manufacture/supply to OPG, ITT Engineered shall implement and maintain a quality assurance program that provides assurance that the design, materials used in construction, methods used in fabrication/construction, non-destructive testing, are such that the ITT Engineered item both meets the design requirements and is equivalent to the ITT Engineered item evaluated and qualified by OPG Engineer for use in nuclear safety-related applications based on the applicable primary controlled document(s). In order to provide such assurance, ITT Engineered QA program shall meet the requirements of minimum CSA CAN3-Z or CSA N QA standards, including the requirement for product traceability. Traceability is required by the contract, and therefore in accordance with CSA CAN3-Z299.1/2/3-85 or CSA N299.1/2/3-16 QA standards, ITT Engineered shall assign to each product or service or batch a unique This clause applies to purchase orders placed on or after March 20, 2018 Page 2 of 7

3 identification/unique identifier such as serial number, date code, batch code to distinguish apparently identical products. Non-conformances with a disposition to Repair or Use-as-is require the concurrence of all responsible parties, and submission to OPG for acceptance. 3.1 Environmentally Qualified Nuclear Class Items These items require ITT Engineered to implement and maintain their quality assurance program that meet the requirements of CSA CAN3-Z or CSA N QA standards. ITT Engineered QA manual/program as audited by NUPIC and reviewed/accepted by OPG to the requirements of CSA CAN3-Z , or CSA N QA standards along with the requirements specified in the P.O. is acceptable to OPG to meet this requirement. ITT Engineered shall provide traceability of all pressure boundary related material / components and all elastomeric components used in the construction of the item to those qualified for use in the intended EQ application at OPG Nuclear. In addition: For ASME, Section III materials, the quality program shall meet the requirements of ASME, Section III, subsection NCA 3800 or NCA 4000 (where the scope of the quality program includes acting as a material organization), to the code edition and addenda specified in the purchase order. For ASME, Section III components, the quality program shall meet the requirements of ASME, Section III, subsection NCA 4000, to the code edition and addenda specified in the purchase order. A valid certificate of authorization issued by by an authorized registrar (i.e. ASME, TSSA, other Canadian provincial jurisdiction etc) shall be required, in accordance with the CSA N285.0 standard. All items shall be traceable to the audited ITT Engineered facility in Lancaster, PA, USA. 3.2 Environmentally Qualified Non-Nuclear Items and Spares These items require ITT Engineered to implement and maintain a quality assurance program that meets the requirements of CSA CAN3-Z or CSA N QA standards. ITT Engineered QA manual/program as audited by OPG to the requirements of CSA CAN3-Z or CSA N QA standards, along with the requirements specified in the P.O. is acceptable to OPG to meet this requirement. ITT Engineered authorized distributor shall not jeopardize traceability. This authorized distributor must maintain the quality program that meets at least the requirements of the applicable elements of CSA CAN3-Z or CSA N QA standards for activities associated with a Distributor/Sales Agent. All items shall be traceable to the audited ITT Engineered facility in Lancaster, PA, USA. 4.0 INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN AND CRITICAL PROCESS PROCEDURE ACCEPTANCE In accordance with CSA CAN3-Z299.2/3-85 or CSA N299.2/3-16 QA standards, ITT Engineered shall prepare the Inspection and Test Plan (I&TP) document as part of the QA program requirements. A copy of the completed I&TP, signed by the authorized QA representative as a minimum, shall be submitted to OPG with the shipment. However, OPG review and acceptance of the I&TP prior to initiating the work is required only when the Inspection and Test Plan Submission Requirement clause QA-I&TP is specified elsewhere in the OPG Contract P.O. This includes the situation for initial procurement of new items not previously manufactured and supplied to OPG. The OPG Engineer reserves the right to identify a list of special process and non-destructive examination procedures that must be submitted for acceptance prior to completing the work described on these procedures. The list will be identified at the time that the OPG Engineer reviews the Inspection and Test Plan. This clause applies to purchase orders placed on or after March 20, 2018 Page 3 of 7

4 It is agreed that OPG will not retain copies of these critical process procedures. Approved copies of these procedures are to be retained by ITT Engineered and ITT Engineered shall provide evidence that the work has been done in accordance with the approved procedures when called upon to do so by OPG s source inspector. The list will be identified at the time that the OPG Engineer reviews the Inspection and Test Plan. ITT Engineered shall make no significant change to the I&TP, critical process procedures, or NDE procedures without notification to the OPG Engineer for those changes. The plan and associated procedures are to be submitted for acceptance at least 4 weeks prior to commencement of the work outlined on the plan or procedure. In the event that delay in receiving acceptance will delay completion of the work, ITT Engineered is to notify OPG Buyer, at least 1 week in advance of the occurrence of the delay, so the OPG Buyer can expedite OPG Engineer review and acceptance and mitigate the delay. OPG reserves the right to review these documents during QA program audits or contract specific inspections in order to verify that manufacturing and inspection activities are appropriately planned, authorized and controlled. Personnel performing inspection, witnessing or monitoring of item critical characteristics for their acceptance must not be those who have performed the work being inspected or report directly to immediate supervisors responsible for producing the work unless specifically permitted otherwise in the I&T Plan and agreed to in writing by the customer before the contract is let. 5.0 PRESSURE RETAINING ITEMS REGISTRATION WITH AUTHORIZED INSPECTION AGENCY Pressure retaining items are to be registered with an Authorized Inspection Agency (AIA). Piping systems shall be registered by technical standards & safety authority (TSSA), located in Ontario. Pressure vessels, storage vessels, pumps, valves, fittings or supports shall be registered as follows: By TSSA located in Ontario, or By Association of Chief Inspectors (ACI) central located in Prince Edward Island. ACI central provides registration for several Canadian provinces, including New Brunswick. As New Brunswick is the only one of these provinces that has nuclear class installations, registration shall be requested for the province of New Brunswick. Fittings are as defined in CSA N and update 2: clause and Table 1. This registration shall be in accordance with CAN/CSA-N and Update No. 2 and the ASME code and class specified on the OPG Design/technical specification referenced in the OPG purchase order (P.O.) item description ITT Engineered shall provide evidence of that registration by way of a Canadian Registration Number (CRN) along with the shipment. For nuclear class 1, 2 or 3 components and materials, ITT Engineered shall supply items that meet the requirements of NCA 4000 (for components) or NCA 3800 (for materials).
