Commercial Grade
Dedication
(Online or In-Class)
Sept. 24th - 26th
Description:
Commercial grade dedication is a process by which a commercial grade item (CGI) is designated for use as a basic component. This acceptance process is undertaken to provide reasonable assurance that a CGI, to be used as a basic component, will perform its intended safety function and, in this respect, is deemed equivalent to an item designed and manufactured under a 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, quality assurance program. Assurance is achieved by identifying the critical characteristics of the item and verifying their acceptability through inspections, tests, or analyses by the purchaser or third-party dedicating entity.
