Requests for Deviations - Requests for deviations to the requirements of this specification shall be submitted as follows: 13.1 External Supplier - To GE Power & Water Sourcing Quality Engineer by SDR. A SDR represents a one time only approval to deviate and is only associated with the Purchase order referenced within. In order to obtain blanket approval to deviate from this specification, the supplier shall write a packaging specification and submit it to GE Power & Water for approval or initiate a FPCR (Frozen Process Change Request). Upon approval, this packaging specification shall be documented in the qualification. The GE Power & Water Sourcing Quality Manager has the authority to grant exceptions from this specification. 1.3.2 Internal Supplier - To the appropriate Engineering personnel by NCR (QCR). 1.3.3 Special Requirements (SR) - Because of their intrinsic specificities, some kinds of materials need a dedicated packaging specification. In these cases, the supplier shall write a packaging procedure for that specific commodity or component and submit to the GE Power & Water Sourcing Quality Engineer for approval. If this activity is completed as part of a Qualification, no SDR will be required. All MSD/BOP commodities are required to have an approved packaging procedure.
