employed for item or service acceptance shall begin during the purchase requisition or contract preparation and review stage.

The extent of the verification activities will vary and be a function of the relative safety significance, complexity of the purchased item or service, and the supplier's past i

performance.

The verification activities may include vendor surveillance, receipt inspection, or post-installation testing. Verification activities are planned to assure conformance to procurement document requirements.

Procedures shall establish the organizational responsibilities for identifying required verifications and methods, performing and documenting the verification activities.

5.4.3.1 Vendor surveillance shall be performed using surveillance plans developed in accordance with QA procedures with i

appropriate input from the cognizant technical organization.
