Description / Abstract:
This standard applies to organizations that conduct
qualification tests on equipment that has a definable safety
function and is an identifiable part of a safety system for use in
nuclear power generating stations. It requires a technical program,
a quality assurance program, and a demonstrated ability to meet
specified technical requirements. It does not apply to materials
tests, production tests, normal performance testing, qualification
by analysis, qualification by operating experience, or reliability
tests such as diesel-generator multiple start tests.
Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to
provide requirements for establishing a program for conducting
qualification tests of safety systems equipment used in nuclear
power generating stations. Compliance with the requirements of this
standard does not assure the adequacy of the qualification tests
performed.
