Suspect/Counterfeit and Defective Items
|
The Department of Energy is committed to ensuring
that items and components installed in safety-related
or mission-critical applications meet their intended
function and operability requirements. Therefore,
the Office of Health, Safety and Security has established
a process for identifying Suspect/Counterfeit (S/CI)
or Defective Items (DI) that are deemed safety-significant
and broadly applicable to DOE facilities and for ensuring
that action is taken. (S/CI-DI
process guide).

in which the defect appears to be due to an unintentional
