  2. QUALITY • --Quality Control is the responsibility of the primary installer or fabricator of the material; they are the experts in what they build. • --Quality Assuranceis the oversight by the agency of the Quality Control; they want to receive what is specified. • Uses verified QC testing and inspection as acceptance (like when observing the production of a car you want to buy ) • --Independent Assurance is the responsibility of the agency to ensure QA and QC are verifiable • Make sure QC and QA testing are compatible and consistent

  3. Contractor Quality Control • Sections 111 thru 117 and website • 111 Administration- General • Gives overview of program • Check to see Responsible Person in Charge and Quality Control Coordinator; both required or only one • See exceptions (inspector separate from foreman) • Contractor responsible for the Quality of the work. • Owner oversight and verification of Contractor is acceptance. • 112 QC Administration • Organization structure based on 113 • Documentation • Contractor responsible
