2.6 Materials Quality Verification 2.6.1 General Material sources will be identified and samples tested to determine if the material meets project specifications for specific work elements. Definitions and requirements of materials are provided in the Specifications. Test samples will be obtained in accordance with applicable ASTM standards. Archive samples and test results of the test samples will be maintained and stored at the project site. The QA/QC Inspectors will establish and maintain a materials quality verification list. The list will include material sources, sample locations, testing requirements, test results, and verification action items. 2.6.2 Materials Submittals Material submittals may be used by the QA/QC Consultant to establish the acceptability of materials. When sample submittals are required, they will be made available to the QA/QC Consultant by the Contractor. Acceptance and proper review of submittals are the responsibility of the QA/QC Manager. 2.6.3 Certificates of Compliance and Conformance Certificates of compliance and conformance may be used by the QA/QC Manager to establish the acceptability of materials. Those certificates generally state that the material is in compliance or conformance with a particular code, standard, or specification. The certificate may be used for acceptance of a product before or in lieu of testing, if allowed by the Specifications. 2.7 Equipment Control 2.7.1 Equipment List Before the start of construction, the QA/QC Manager will complete a list of all measuring, sampling, and testing equipment being used at the site. As new equipment becomes available during the course of the project, it must be added to the list. When more than one type of equipment is available, a unique number will be affixed to each piece to maintain identity. The equipment list shall be maintained in the project files and contain the following information: Type of equipment Serial number or identifying number Date item received at site Use of the equipment Date removed from service Page 10 0
