Quality Assurance
EM is committed to achieving quality in all of its mission work in accordance with the “Quality Assurance Rule”
(10 CFR 830, Subpart A  )
and DOE Order 414.1C, Quality
Assurance  . The DOE Order establishes roles and responsibilities
for Secretarial Officers, Field Elements and contractors. Specifically the Order calls for Secretarial Officers to “Ensure that
Headquarters, field elements and contractors implement requirements of this Order (DOE O 414.1C) in an integrated manner and
coordinate the resolution of quality issues among these organizations.”
EM is committed to quality of all mission results and the elimination of errors. The corporate
EM Quality Assurance Program (EM-QA-001)
describes the method by which quality assurance is implemented into the Integrated Safety Management System and the overall
work processes. The EM Quality Assurance Program identifies those requirements and actions which are implemented in EM to
achieve quality results and is applicable to everyone in the organization. The requirements from the Quality Assurance Program
implement 10 CFR 830 Subpart A, DOE O 414.1C, NQA-1-2004 (with addenda through 2007) and EM senior management expectations for quality.
The objective of EM-QA-001 is to provide consistent quality assurance implementation across EM while allowing both for grading
based on importance to the EM mission and safety, and for site specific requirements to be addressed (e.g., DOE/RW-0333P ,
Quality Assurance Requirements and Description; Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] requirements; state permit requirements; etc.).
The requirements of the Quality Assurance Program are applied in a graded fashion commensurate with the type of work being performed
and the importance of the work contributing to safe completion of the EM mission. EM expects applicable requirements will be passed
down to subcontractors.
