1- FIELD OF APPLICATION

The Quality plan is a document of quality insurance which defines: tasks, responsibilities, and documents attached to the substation erection or
maintenance, inspection and test operations.

2- GENERAL

The Quality plan is conform to the Environment & Quality Manual (MQ2000) and more precisely to the 2.2.3 Installation on site, work & site tests. It
precise the responsibilities about the quality, the documentation, the site training, the inspections and test. The treatment of non-conformities and the
corrective actions.
