A NAVFACENGCOM Certificate of Competency issued after September 1983 requires passing the NBBI examination. A NAVFACENGCOM Certificate of Competency issued before September 1983 required passing a N

In addition, authorization to issue NAVFACENGCOM Inspection Certificates requires a NAVFAC license. 2. 3 A contract inspector may not be employed by a contractor utilized to operate or maintain the equipment to be certified. /3/ 3. In addition to the State Certificate of Competency,

36、 contract inspectors must 3 meet the qualifications outlined in paragraphs 2-1.1 and /3/ have written Authorization to Inspect from the respective (East or West) NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspector. An official letter from a member jurisdiction of the NBBI stating that the individual has passed the NBBI

37、examination can be considered equivalent to the State Certificate of Competency. 2-4 QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR INSPECTIONS. Appendix B shows the NAVFAC Boiler and Unfired Pressure Vessel Inspection Program Quality Assurance Organization. This organization provides a method of monitoring the performance

38、of Navy and contract inspections. The key element of the organization is the NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspector. The duties and qualifications of the NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspector are outlined in Appendix C. 2-5 GUIDELINES FOR INSPECTION CONTRACTS. The inspection of boilers and pressure vessels is high

39、ly specialized work requiring qualified personnel and, in many cases, specialized testing equipment. The Contracting Officer is responsible for ensuring the quality of inspections performed by companies awarded Navy inspection contracts. 2-5.1 Contractor Abilities. Contractors and their inspectors a

40、bility to provide adequate inspections can be highly variable. The NBBI commissions inspectors of jurisdictions, which have adopted and administer one or more sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code as a legal requirement and has a representative serving as a member of the ASME Conferen

41、ce Committee; or to an insurance company which is licensed by a U.S. state to write boiler and pressure vessel insurance. An Authorized Inspection Agency is not working within the NBBI charter when performing inspections on a Federal reservation because a states jurisdiction does not encompass Provi

42、ded by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 3-430-07 24 July 2003 including Change 1, Change 2, and Change 3, May 2007 9 military reservations and the Government does not insure its equipment. Furthermore, Authorized Inspection Agencies usually do

43、 not qualify as small businesses. 2-5.2 3 Companies Other than Authorized Inspection Agencies. Quality assurance for such companies may not be structured according to a standard recognized by the NBBI or may even be non-existent. Contracting officers must ensure adequate inspections by requiring qua

44、lifications of the contractor before awarding the contract. These assurances, at a minimum, include requiring the contractor to supply inspectors meeting the credential requirements of paragraphs 2-1.1, 2-1.2 and 2-3. /3/ 2-5.3 Assistance. When an activity elects to administer its own inspection con

45、tract, NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspectors can provide assistance to the Contracting Officer by reviewing the contract requirements and determining the suitability of a company to perform inspections. The NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspectors provide this service on a reimbursable basis. They also provide qua

46、lity control by monitoring the performance of contractors and their inspectors. Upon satisfactory review, the NAVFAC Senior Boiler Inspector can issue an Authorization to Inspect to the firms qualifying inspectors for the term of the contract. The Authorization to Inspect identifies the ability of t

47、he inspector to perform the work satisfactorily and authorizes the inspector to sign the Inspection Report-Boiler or the Unfired Pressure Vessel Report and issue the Inspection Certificate, NAVFAC Form 9-11014/32 (3-67). 2-5.4 Activity Administered Contracts. When the activitys Contracting Officer e

48、lects to administer the contracts, the Contracting Officer should require the contractors to provide enough information to determine positively that the firm has qualified inspectors and has the capability to do the required work. The scope of work for the inspection contract should include the number, function, type (such as boiler or pressure vessel), construction (such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or military specification), capacity, and pressure rating
