NOTES

(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful,

but is not mandatory.)

6.1 Intended use. This Standard is not a DOE Order, and its requirements are not

automatically invoked at any facilities or on any BACKUP POWER SOURCES. This Standard

is intended for use by the operations/field offices or M&O contractors as desired. It may be

invoked by contractual documents, procurement documents, or in the authorization basis for a

facility. Unless it is invoked as above, the contractor cannot be assessed or inspected against

its requirements. This Standard is also suitable for voluntary use by engineers responsible for

BACKUP POWER SOURCES at DOE facilities.

6.2 Revision status. A specific revision of this Standard should only be invoked and used

when required by contractual considerations. In all other cases, the most current revision

should be assumed to be used.

6.3 Tailoring guidance. For applications that are not related to nuclear safety, use of this

Standard should be tailored based on the relative importance of the power source to safety of

the public, the environment, operating personnel, and the facility. Procurement documents

invoking this Standard should tailor the requirements contained herein to suit the particular

procurement. Contractual or authorization basis documents invoking this document must

specify assessment or inspection criteria appropriate to the application.
