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.

2.2.9
Cases with multiple (individual) pieces must be identified by country of
origin for each piece inside case, i.e. if case originates in USA and
contains parts from Canada and China, then the case must have three
Country of Origins listed on the outside of the case.
MSD/BOP - Material Ship Direct (MSD) and Balance of Plant (BOP) shipments
are picked up at a supplier’s facility and shipped directly to the end customer.

2.3
Packaging Definitions
2.3.1
Compressive Creep - Compressive Creep is the gradual loss of thickness that
may occur if a cushioning material is placed under a constant load for a long
time. Product loosens in its cushion and becomes vulnerable to excessive
movement. Spreading the load over a larger area of cushioning will usually
reduce the risk of compressive creep.
2.3.2
Hazardous Materials - A hazardous material is any material that poses a
present or potential hazard to the health or safety of humans or to the
environment. GE Power & Water manufacturers are required to prepare
Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all hazardous materials. A material
may be considered hazardous because of its quantity, concentration, or
physical or chemical characteristics.
2.3.3
Oversized - Merchandise or Commodity that due to the size or weight must use
specialized transportation; sometimes referred to as over-dimensional freight.
2.3.4
Packaging - The application and use of adequate protective measures to
prevent damage during transportation and storage, including application of
package wraps, cushioning, and complete identification markings.
2.3.5
Packing - The final placement of items or packages in exterior shipping
containers or other media, including necessary blocking, bracing, cushioning,
weatherproofing, exterior strapping, and marking.
2.3.6
Preservation - Method used to maintain the quality, fit, function, and form of the
item being shipped.
