Suspect/Counterfeit and Defective Items
The Department of Energy is committed to ensuring that items
and components installed in safety-related or mission-critical
applications meet their intended function and operability requirements.
Therefore, the Office of Health, Safety and Security has
established a process for identifying Suspect/Counterfeit (S/CI)
or Defective Items (DI) that are deemed safety-significant and
broadly applicable to DOE facilities and for ensuring that action
is taken. (S/CI-DI process guide).

Suspect-Counterfeit
Items: Data Collection Sheets for items in which
a defect appears to be due to misrepresentation of the
item by the vendor, supplier, distributor, or manufacturer.
Archived S/CI Data Collection Sheets are also available
with topical
search capability. |
|
Defective
Items: Data Collection Sheets for items in which
the defect appears to be due to an unintentional error
in the manufacturing process. Defective items are often
recalled by their manufacturers.
Archived DI Data Collection Sheets are also available
with topical
search capability. The link to defective items will
contain certain recalls from the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) deemed significant and applicable
to DOE operations. CPSC is charged with protecting the
public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or
death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products.
You can find information on over 4,000 product recalls
using the various searches at http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html
