Description / Abstract:
The standard provides criteria for the performance of periodic
testing of nuclear power generating station safety systems. The
scope of periodic testing consists of functional tests and checks,
calibration verification, and time response measurements, as
required, to verify that the safety system performs its defined
safety function. Post-maintenance and post-modification testing are
not covered by this document. This standard amplifies the periodic
testing requirements of other nuclear safety-related IEEE
standards.
Purpose
This standard is intended to aid the user not only in designing
a periodic test capability, but also in defining and optimizing the
primary elements of an effective periodic test program (including
planning, performance/acceptance criteria, procedures, test
intervals, and documentation).
