(1)

This rule contains procedures for persons to develop and qualify a quality control system for welding or brazing on pressure piping other than boiler external piping.

(2)

An application for approval of a quality control system shall include one copy of a proposed quality control manual. The manual shall include the elements described by the Building Codes Division Sample Quality Control Manual provided to the applicant as a guide. A Quality Control Manual will be reviewed and the applicant billed at board-established shop inspection rates.
