Quality Management Documents Sample Clauses

Quality Management Documents. Management and testing in this APCTVC program are performed in accordance with procedures and protocols defined by the following: 1) EPA’s ETV Quality and Management Plan (ETV QMP) (EPA, 1998a or the quality management plan current at the time of testing), 2) the APCT Quality Management Plan (QMP) (RTI, 1998), 3) the Generic Verification Protocol for Diesel Exhaust Catalysts, Particulate Filters, and Engine Modification Control Technologies for Highway and Nonroad Use Diesel Engines (this document), and 4) the test/QA plan prepared for each specific test or group of tests. Because multiple testing organizations will be conducting the tests and the desirability to ensure comparability, the APCTVC will develop a prototype test/QA plan (not part of this GVP) for each type of technology. This prototype will be customized by the testing organization to meet its specific implementation of the Federal Test Procedures (FTPs) as defined in 40 CFR Parts 86 and 89, and the secondary measurements, subject to approval by the APCTVC and EPA-ORD. Testing arrangements that do not meet the requirements of the FTP will not be approved, and test instrumentation or test procedures that the APCTVC determines will compromise data reliability or comparability between testing organizations will not be approved.
