DOE-STD-1170-2003
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
FUNCTIONAL AREA QUALIFICATION STANDARD
Electrical Systems
PURPOSE
DOE Manual 426.1-1, Federal Technical Capability Manual, commits the Department to
continuously strive for technical excellence. The Technical Qualification Program, along with the
supporting Technical Qualification Standards, complements the personnel processes that
support the Department's drive for technical excellence. In support of this goal, the competency
requirements defined in the Technical Qualification Standards should be aligned with and
integrated into the recruitment and staffing processes for technical positions. The Technical
Qualification Standards should form the primary basis for developing vacancy announcements,
qualification requirements, crediting plans, interviewing questions, and other criteria associated
with the recruitment, selection, and internal placement of technical personnel. Office of
Personnel Management minimum qualifications standards will be greatly enhanced by
application of appropriate materials from the technical Functional Area Qualification Standards.
The Technical Qualification Standards are not intended to replace the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards nor other Departmental personnel standards,
rules, plans, or processes. The primary purpose of the Technical Qualification Program is to
ensure that employees have the requisite technical competency to support the mission of the
Department. The Technical Qualification Program forms the basis for the development and
assignment of DOE personnel responsible for ensuring the safe operation of defense nuclear
facilities.
APPLICABILITY
The Electrical Systems Functional Area Qualification Standard establishes common functional
area competency requirements for Department of Energy personnel who provide assistance,
direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities that could impact
the safe operation of DOE's defense nuclear facilities. The technical Functional Area
Qualification Standard has been developed as a tool to assist DOE Program and Field offices in
the development and implementation of the Technical Qualification Program in their organization.
For ease of transportability of qualifications between DOE elements, Program and Field offices
are expected to use this technical Functional Area Qualification Standard without modification or
additions. Needed additional office/site/facility specific technical competencies should be
handled separately. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the competency requirements
contained in this technical Functional Area Qualification Standard ensures that personnel
possess the requisite competence to fulfill their functional area duties and responsibilities.
Office/Facility-Specific Qualification Standards supplement this technical Functional Area
Qualification Standard and establish unique operational competency requirements at the
Headquarters or Field element, site, or facility level.
