This section establishes a system for maintaining and retrieving records that support the
Quality System and comply with the scope of the “R” Certificate of Authorization.

It ensures:
 Documented evidence of quality control activities and completed work on pressure-
retaining items (PRIs).
 Retention of essential records, including design documents, material certifications,
NDE reports, PWHT charts, WPS usage, personnel qualifications, drawings, and
photographs.
 Compliance with NBIC Part 3, Table 1.5.1, for record retention schedules.

By maintaining a structured records retention system, the Quality System ensures traceability,
compliance, and accessibility of essential documentation.
