control of critical characteristics, or acceptable industry-wide performance. The use of industry-wide performance should not be employed alone unless the established documented performance record is based on industry-wide performance data that is directly applicable to the item's critical characteristics and the intended safety-related application. Information pertinent to the item’s quality of performance obtained from outside sources (e.g., operational event reports, NRC, vendor equipment technical information program, and Institute of Nuclear Power Operations) and from commercial-grade surveys, source verifications, receipt inspections, previous dedication or qualification, and operational history is factored into the dedication process. This method should be used in combination with one or more of the methods explained above to collect the objective evidence necessary to ensure acceptable historical performance of the supplier. 03.03 Review a representative sample of dedication packages to assess whether procedures for dedication activities have been adequately planned and implemented. Verify that the dedication process identifies those design, material, and performance characteristics relevant to the safety function as described in Section 03.01 of this procedure.
