HEPA Filter Test Facility
New Facility relocated from Oak Ridge to BaltimoreAir Techniques International (ATI) owns and operates facility under contract with DOE to provide testing servicesEM manages contract through FY-2005EH will assume contract for FY-2006Contract can be extended through FY-2008
QA Audit prior to startupQA Program including implementationTest procedures and equipment operationAudit plans were developed based on NQA-1 requirements
Audit TeamMembers from across the Complex (EH, OR, SRS, LLNL, & RL) including certified auditor (NQA-1) and HEPA filter SMEs

HEPA Filter Test Facility
Startup Conditions Identified and ResolvedChanges to ATI Quality Program Plan to comply with NQA-1 requirementsChanges to implementing procedures to comply with DOE standardsUpdate eye exams for all ATI techniciansPerform NIST traceable calibration of orifice platesGenerate documentation of testing software
Conclusion – ATI has QA and technical ability for inspection and testing of HEPA filtersTesting Operations Started end of August 2005Periodic surveillances and audits will be conducted

Revision of DOE HEPA Filter Standards
First of four DOE HEPA Standards in RevCom – to be issued Dec 2005
Revised to comply with ASME AG-1Incorporates results from previous assessments and advances in HEPA filter technology
Developed by a DOE and industry SME working teamReviewed by individuals drawn from ASME AG-1 Committee, NRC, filter manufactures, and users

Quality Assurance Analyses
Respirator EventsSafety Alert IssuedEnvironment, Safety, and Health Bulletin Issued
QA Analyses ongoing to evaluate policy and guidance needs for effective respirator program in the complex
Events appear to be increasingInventory is agingSystem/equipment reliability worsening
Utilized ORPS data (330 reports) to enhance CRADS and lines of inquiry for RL QA Assessment (Sept. 2005)
