ESS Quality: Q Div and Project QA/QC 2

Collaboration for Quality …means that the Stakeholders, ESS and its Partners, engage and work together to deliver high quality products, the most important of which are the equipment systems and components of the ESS operational facility. We engage through: • Contracting Contracts assuring and controlling • Quality Planning. QUALITY in Work and Products • Technical Review Quality Plans Technical Reviews 3

Contracting for Quality Types of contracts: • ESS procurement Supply Agreements and their So. W, specs, etc. • IKC Agreements and their ‘Schedules’ a. k. a Technical Annexes (TA), • other collaboration agreements Quality activities in making contracts: • consultation during the development of contracts assures value and integrity of the So. W and related docs: – Ts & Cs, technical requirements, specifications, reference design – ESS MS documents including ESS processes and templates • conducting internal Quality review with Accelerator’s Internal stakeholders: – WP teams, planners, Safety and specialty engineers 4

Planning for Quality Developing and agreeing the Project Quality Plan (PQP) … a graded approach, tailored for the scope and for the needs and capabilities of ESS, Partners and their subpartners. … made through discussions, visits and other collaborative activities: … delivered via a succession of drafts in the data packages for Technical Reviews 5

Purpose of a Project Quality Plan • PQP serves as a link and covenant Partner between Partner and ESS • PQP is an agreed plan addressing activities necessary to secure high quality work, and to secure high quality deliverables - especially the components and systems products PQP • PQP is developed, negotiated and approved jointly by both Parties before manufacturing starts QUALITY in Work and Products 6

ESS - ISO Template • ESS has developed a PQP template for guiding ESS and partners for QA and QC. ESS-0037830 PQP • based on ISO 10005: “Quality management systems (ISO 9001) - guideline for Quality plans” • all headings should be addressed / referenced • Partners with certified management systems may use their own templates and formats 7

PQP Contents • Scope • Quality Goals • Management responsibilities • Documentation and storage • Control of records • Resources • Requirements • Customer communication • Design and development process • Purchasing • Production and service provisions • Customer property • Preservation of product • Control of Non-conforming product • Identification and traceability • Monitoring and measurements • Audits • Implementation of the PQP Non-Conforming Documentationproducts and storage Scope Describe the purpose of the PQP, Describe how non-conforming Describe how the PQP, its supporting identify what products and define products, primarily in the realised references (Partner’s QMS), and ‘quality’ applicable for them, how components and system deliverables Quality in general to be achieved especially the document deliverables of the Project , are identified, and how through Quality planning in this of the Project: project i. e. introduce the Quality Goals. their non-conformance is tracked, • are identified/named; communicated, and resolved. Describe the specific aspects of this for • particular the responsibilities/identities Project and any limitations authors, reviewers approvers; or delimitations, certain and conditions thatand affects the validity of the PQP – what organisations and what products • are distributed, stored and does it apply for, which stages of work or timeframe maintained. 8

Quality through Technical Reviews facilitate: • hands-on collaboration between ESS and partners • risk identification and sharing • governance of the contracted So. W and its stages • configuration management through baselines • product Acceptance - transfer of ownership Technical Reviews progress through the stages of: • Design • ‘Realization’ – procurement, manufacture, pre-and postdelivery verification including inspections and testing • Installation, Commissioning and Initial Operations 9

Types of Technical Reviews Design Reviews, for example • PDR • CDR Readiness Reviews, for example • Production RR • Integration or Assembly RR • TRR • Accelerator RR • ORR System Acceptance Reviews: SAR 10
